After watching the short film Identity, write a blog post reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who you really are. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

After watching the short film Identity, reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who I really am. One moment from the film that stood out to me was when she was walking in the hallway and admiring the girls who all were together and had the same mask because it shows the art of standing out and that the people you may want to be/want their life could just not feel free enough to have their own identity. Connecting the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask I am creating in class everyone is going to want to fit in with a group they find cool like in the short film and the poem but that group is often not what is best for you and can have very severe backlash like how in the poem the group dies soon, our identity masks were made to be different and unique so we should each embrace that. The part of  my identity I want my mask to reveal is my culture and personality as a whole showing differences from those around me. 

Summary:

I was getting my wisdom teeth removed

  If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality. If I had to describe how I show love using only 3 objects I would choose a  weighted blanket, a curated playlist, and a customized notebook. I would choose a weighted blanket because love to me is a safe harbor and is about creating a secure, calming space where the other person feels protected and grounded, especially after a chaotic day. This connects to my personality because I show affection by reducing stress and providing a calm presence rather than loud declarations. I would choose a playlist because I am good at   understanding a person's inner world, moods, and tastes and this gift shows the efforts and ability I have to do so. Finally, I would choose a notebook because it symbolizes communica...

Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.  One thing that I can not stop thinking about is what I learned about in AP Psychology today. We watched this video about people called "Wild Children" who are people who were raised with little to no human contact/interactions. These children were captured at birth and were striped of their rights to do anything basically. Because they have no knowledge of language and had no one to interact with for the critical learning period of their lives they make little to no noise. The aspect that I think about the most is that I am unable to grasp the idea of how my thought process would look like without words/vocabulary/language. I can not fathom the idea of thinking without words. I am also curious about how they felt after being found and brought into the human world. Overall this is a very interesting topic to me and I have found myself unable to get it off my mind.

  In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life). In the spirit of Valentine's Day week, my idea of a perfect day spent with someone I care about is spending the day hanging out with my mom and sisters. I would wake up late come downstairs and eat a late brunch with my mom and then spend the afternoon shopping or watching movies with my sisters. Then we would come home and start getting ready for a nice dinner. My whole family would go to a nice Italian restaurant and then get some dessert on the way back home. After we got home me and the rest of my family would play board games until we got to bed. That is my idea of a perfect day with people I care about. Summary: Today in class we continued planning for our rhetorical analysis essay. Reflection: I learned a lot and feel more prepared after planning.
