At the start of this project, I was trying to brainstorm ways to convey the interaction of all the stimuli and influences David experienced throughout the novel, and their convergence with what he says and his compulsive nature to lie. I felt the best way to demonstrate this dynamic would to be with a Padlet. Society's expectations/norms are presented entering the back of David's head, while his stress and shame are coming from the top of his head. His reaction, usually lies and repression, can be seen coming from his mouth. At the center of all of this however, is Giovanni's room. While reading the novel I interpreted the room as the inescapable internal conflict David was experiencing. His struggle with his sexuality and how he should represent himself were all pervasive throughout the narrative, and I thought it had a part in influencing every action, reaction, and conversation David had.

I was in a box for I could see that, no matter how I turned, the hour of confession was upon me and could be scarcely averted; unless, of course, I leaped out of the cab, which would be the most terrible confession of all.”
