Present an aspect of your understanding of 'citizenship' in a creative way, such as in a poster, poem, song lyric, illustration.

There are many ways to approach this.  I would reflect and
think about particular songs that reflect citizenship and integrate some of these ideas
into a lyric or poem of your own.  For example, think about songs from your own country
that represent citizenship.  These songs could be the national anthem, or other songs
that are widely accepted as representation of your nation.  When you think about these
songs, what are some common links?  Do they emphasize a part of your history?  Do they
emphasize a part of your national character?  What is the overall tone of these songs? 
For example, in my country, our national anthem reflects national character and
identity.  It is one of those moments where people hear the song and understand, to a
lyrical extent, a part of my country's identity.  When these questions are answered, you
should possess a decent feel for what defines "citizenship" in a lyrical sense and then
you can start to take some of these ideas into your own conception or visualization of
citizenship.  Perhaps, placing some of these in a poster or illustration could be
another avenue to pursue.  I think that this might be a good starting point with such a
task.

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
