So, I'm gearing towards the end of my BOW, as i just need a few finishing touches to complete my work. with the due date in sight, i have been spending sometime establishing a title for my entire BOW. so far I've narrowed down to two titles which i feel are not only relevant but give a new depth and meaning to my works as well as giving the audience a different insight to what my work might be about.
the first one i thought of was; "The Catcher in My Brother's Eyes" - which is a reference to the novel, "The Catcher in the Rye". basically my concept was somewhat derived from it. the novel, which i have mentioned in one of my earlier posts, is basically about a teenage boy contemplating about his transition into adulthood. i thought i would twist the title by adding "my brothers eyes" due to fact that another aspect of my concept was derived from basically observing my brother, who is 8. the interest in portraying that move from childhood to adulthood kinda started there. i have wanted to convey the idea that, as children, we feel invincible; there's no denying that we've all wanted to be 'superman' at one stage of our lives. the reason why I've associated it with the novel's title is also from the fact that the protagonist of the novel believes he can "catch" children from "falling over the edge" into adulthood. i thought it really tied well with my concept and at the same time was a clever idea without being too corny.
my second idea was less complex than the first. it's simply; "My Brother Thinks He's Superman". this is similar to the reasons i stated above. its simple and yet draws on a personal level, which i think the markers will like, seeing that i have drawn on my own personal experiences, in reference to my brother, and incorporated it into my work.
i have since asked a few people on their thoughts and the popular choice seems to be the first; "The Catcher in My Brother's Eyes". but im still contemplating over the two. here's a good idea; how about i just ask my brother! haha, maybe i'll do just that.
