ENCW 205: Art & Identity in New Orleans

I have two ideas for a final project but I can not pick one for certain. I was thinking about the capitalization of graveyards in New Orleans with the tours through them, I was thinking about writing the voices of different spirits and how depending on their status in life (rich and poor) and what I think they could feel about strangers walking through where their families are supposed to honor and mourn them. I was also thinking about voodoo and how what it was originally is not how it is revered now in media and other forms of publication, I was thinking creatively I could write about a time traveler/tourist in Marie Laveau’s time investigating the true basis of voodoo and what it was then.
