Project Description

Each pair of shoes can tell a story, from their production process to people wearing them and walking on paved streets, muddy paths, or luxurious carpets. This multimodal essay presents stories from around the world where shoes are the protagonists. The writing style ranges from texts with an informative purpose to texts with very detailed descriptions, while others focus more on provoking feelings in the reader. Following the recommendations of Professor Melinda White, I am submitting my project under the Change the World category.

Comments

This project arises from the need to share stories and experiences of others who may be in a more difficult position than myself. In the future, if I could add more stories and shoes, I would. There is so much to learn from other people and so much to do for other people that it is impossible to address 8 billion stories in one project.
