Dear Dr. Cunningham,
This essay was very unique for me. I have always wondered about the impressions we paint on people because of the music they listen to. I have even felt embarrassed when not recognizing a certain song or knowing about a certain band. The reading in which you gave us really interested me in the study but more so tore down my previous views of the topic. I do still see how some stereotypes hold up in some cases yet I feel like it is a very slim percent. Writing the essay was a challenge, but a fun one. I have never looked to deep into painting a picture of a person this detailed and it surprised me to see myself looking at a list of songs and really connecting them together to make up a person. I feel confident about this essay and I hope you enjoy it thank you.
