Interpretation of Partner's Cut N' Mix

The speaker I drew from this was a man remembering the former glory of his nation. He is an aged Chinese man who exists now in decayed ruins of the once great civilization. He is speaking to the other survivors and remnants of the now ruined empire. He describes the empire at its’ prime and compares it to the decay that it is now. He uses strong adjectives and descriptors to compare the before and after to convey the dramatic change that has happened.

The greatness that once existed is now mocked by the eerie world that they now live in. He describes how there was once joy with laughter but that is now long gone. He describes the greatness of their former capital with bridges, ornate paintings, days of celebrating the ancients, queens and other long lasting traditions. Those once great halls the held royalty are now tombs for the vanquished nation. The world is cold and hungry now, overtaken by animals and other beasts. A mighty tsunami sunk the capitol ZeDuan which was once 500 buildings strong. It has been washed away of all color and life. It now lies pale at the bottom of a dark sea.

He speaks to his people to give them hope with memories to keep their spirits intact. He loves his former home, glorifying the world that once was, and is saddened now by the state of the way things are. He feels it is his duty to keep the memory of their nation alive to preserve what once was and to keep his people’s minds from focusing on how things are now. He is extremely sympathetic because their whole way of life was destroyed by a natural disaster for which they could do nothing. People that once lived in an idyllic way of life are now struggling just to survive.

The setting takes place in the early eleventh century after the collapse of a once prominent civilization. It is being told on the outskirts of where the capitol city used to be from the perspective of the society’s leader towards his people.

The persona depicted in the text is from the same cultural perspective ethnically but the time difference between the two is almost a thousand years different so the culture has changed in many ways but both are related.

The mode of aesthetic communication would most likely have been a lyric. The speaker is describing the chain of events out of order but as to how he feels about them now. It’s not an epic because it doesn’t focus on a specific character rather it is entirely about their home. For similar reasons it is not a drama again because no particular person is the focus of the story. It entirely about their relationship they used to share with the former civilization and the feelings they share now about their new situation.
