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?

Prompt Response:
The masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in because different groups have different masks, the girl in the film has a mask unlike anyone else's and this inability to fit into a group causes her to be alone. A scene that stood out to me was when the girl in the film falls and breaks her mask, this scene shows how the masks can be broken to reveal who you really are. The masks in the film connect to our project because they display who you are.
Summary:
Today we did our blog post and worked on our masks.
Reflection:
I learned about the pressure to fit in today in the short film.

Prompt Response: A time I realized I had to look out for myself in a silly or harmless situation was last semester when I was under a lot of stress and I almost forgot to turn something in that I had already done days ago and I turned it in at the last minute at night and I was really grateful because I know that if I had gotten a late grade I would have been mad because I actually did the work. Summary: Today we finished up reading our story and finished the writable questions. Reflection: I learned about the symbolism in the story "the life you save may be your own".
