1. What are the main feelings you tried to express?
    Our group wanted to further express the feelings of equality, power and oppression, which, in my opinion, we succeeded quite well at doing. We got inspired by our song lyrics in a very feminist way, starting to discuss more and more about women's rights and how they have developed over the course of time, focusing on the industrial  revolution and the suffrage. So, equality was probably the strongest of feelings or ideas we had from our song lyrics. It also dominated how we viewed the song and our ideas from that, since a lot of the point we had on our mind map had something to do with equality, getting to equality or breaking somehow from the common.
   Our groups other emotions strongly contrasted our original feeling of equality. Equal is a state of peace and calmness when our other main feelings were power and oppression, two very aggressive and forward emotions. Oppression is something that comes from not having total equality, but power is more complicate subject than the other two feelings. Power can be used in both equality and oppression, but it is used differently in both. In oppression there is someone or something with power and someone powerless on the counter side, where as equality in itself is power.

2. One idea for what you would like to do next in the scene.
    I would like to study more about the difference of equality and oppression and get into both of the subject more deeply. We could think about how power is used in both what kind of good and bad sides either side has. Is equality always good? And on the other hand, is oppression always bad? Can equality be achieved? These things have come up over and over again in our groups discussions and it would interested me to get more insight what my fellow group members think about these matters and do they think they are important and relevant today.
