The Purpose of the Blog Project

The Purpose of the Blog Project

English 110 hones analytical habits of mind that are meant to be naturalized and used outside of the classroom. Therefore, the Blog Project takes the analysis you use throughout the ARP and Commonplace, and gives you the chance to practice applying it to the public writing you already interact with in everyday life. As you become accustomed to making this analytical move on your own, you will develop into a more aware, critically thinking citizen of the world.

This is a video I found of Maxim Vengerov playing a classical violin piece - the Chaconne from J.S. Bach's Solo Violin Partita in d minor - in the hallways of Auschwitz.  What effect does the setting of this video have on our perceptions of the piece?  What are the main ideas in what the commenters are saying on youtube?  How have they reacted to this piece?
