Take for example, the piece of art I chose. I actually didn’t choose a painting but a photograph of a stained glass window. The image on the stained glass window is Tupac Amaru Shakur. If you didn’t know who he was, he was a rap superstar, who was shot to death (September 13, 19

Now back to reality. Let’s say, someone who isn’t familiar with Tupac Shakur’s history but is familiar with what he is notorious for, takes a look at the stained glass window. Let’s say that person is Catholic. What would that person say about it? As Berger puts it, “The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe in.” (Berger 106) That holds true for this situation. As a Catholic man myself, I believe that this person will think this piece of art is blasphemous and a contradiction to what it is supposed to represent. If you didn’t know, Tupac was portrayed as a gangster, a thug, a hoodlum and a menace to society by the rest of society when he was still alive. Not a lot of people knew about his history and his way of thinking till after his death when his music, poetry, his actions and his media interviews were analyzed. Till this day, I still feel Tupac was misunderstood. He was very passionate about the things he said and did. Even if he did get in legal trouble, he did not fight it as he understood that to every action, there was a consequence. In his music, he told stories about life and how harsh it could be. I totally am “feeling” the artist’s rendition of him in the stained glass window. I feel like the world missed out on a great political leader. He could have done the world good, if he was still alive. I wish I could go on and on about how great a man he was, but this isn’t a biography about Tupac Amaru Shakur.

Berger had many ideas pertaining to perception and views of society (as I have shown
