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?

 The mask represents the pressure to fit in and hide who you really are because that is what most people do. A mask is used to hide, for example, in one moment in the video, a girl with a different colored mask took off her mask to put on a different mask to fit in with the red masks. This can connect with the poem "I, Too by Langston Hughes because he had to hide himself in the kitchen so others could be comfortable. I want my mask to reveal me as a person, not just where I'm from.

 The topic about feeling the need to fit in was challenging because I could not really think of a time where I would the follow the crowd if I did not have my own reason for why I am but then I thought of just writing a simile or metaphor about how I don’t feel the need to follow the crowd.  Summary: digital poster  Reflection: easy day
