For English, I decided to look into different religions, specifically Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. To include synthesis into my project, I wanted to look at what each religion believes happens when we die and combine the different beliefs to make one big story. I started by researching the different religions and their beliefs. I then made a rough draft of my letters to plan what I want to talk about in each letter. After that, I began writing my letters and I made sure to include multiple religions in each letter so that there was synthesis and to make sure I actually combined the ideas of the different religions. After I was done the actual letters I went through to highlight which ideas belonged to which religion and I made a comment on the side about what it meant.

For Art, I still looked into death and what happens when we die but instead of looking specifically into different religions I looked into experiences. I focused on the experiences of people who died and then came back to life. For my product, I created an abstract painting. I started by researching survivors story's. I wrote down all of the different emotions they felt and the things they saw while they were dead. After that, I researched different shapes and colors that wen't with the feelings and things that they saw. To actually create my painting, I first started by painting the canvas a solid color. I then drew all of my shapes and after that I painted the shapes in their designated colors and shades. The synthesis in my project was created by taking peoples experiences of dying and coming back to life and using different shapes and colors to portray the feelings and what they saw on a canvas.
