Media literacy involves understanding and interpreting all forms of media, such as books, news, music, television, and much more. Molly Fitzpatrick, sophomore, used media literacy when she realized in a language arts class that Maisie Peters’ album, “The Good Witch,” contains many different references to Homer’s “Odyssey.” This includes lyrics like “The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen / Women's hearts are lethal weapons / Did you hold mine and feel threatened?” which is in Peters’ song, “The History of Man.” This lyric references Helen of Troy, a character from the “Odyssey.”
