Music of the Apocalypse Illuminated Passage

How can I illustrate my understanding of literature through illuminated passages?

Illuminated passages require the creator to explore the layers of meaning of a passage. Illuminated passages use images, videos, comments, and links to create layer upon layer of meaning. For this project you will be creating an illuminated passage from the novel The Road.
