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 mask in the short film shows that she is different from others. Her mask is the only one i saw that had crazy detail and different designs. Everyone else had minimal detail and mostly plain. One moment that stood out to me was at the start when she started to move very crazy. This connects to the story we read yesterday because it shows that everyone is different in their own ways. 

Summary:  Today in class we worked on our masks.

Reflection: I learned more about masks and identity.
