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 and the struggle to discover who you really are because seeing everyone with different colors on their masks indicates where they belong, like the yellow masks representing the beautiful people. A moment that stood out to me from the film was the ending when the girl takes off her mask and accepts who she really is and does not hide her identity from others. This film connects to the poem "I, Too" because both stories are based on fitting in with people who have a different opinion of perspective of you and accepting who you are and not being in the shadows of others around you.


Summary:

In class we watched a short film called "Identity" and connected it to our masks and the story "I, Too."


Reflection:

I learned how to connect two stories based on the same main idea.
