The Mask Project
Some of the differences between my personal and social identities is that when i'm at school and i'm with friends i'm a quiet and shy person, but when i'm home alone, i'm really REALLY loud, i also do different things when i'm at home, I like to just sit and think while if i did that at school, people would think I was weird.
My identity has been shaped mostly by media such as you tube you tube has shaped me by showing me what gamers do and giving me tips on the games that I play. It's also entertaining when i don't at that moment feel like gaming and it lets me watch any game in the world and helps me decide if I want to buy that game or not, it also helps me decide on what equipment I want to buy for better gaming. There are multiple reviews for every mouse, controller, keyboard, mic, headphones, headsets and mouse pad. It lets me know if something is good and worth buying. my analysis is that I own the you tube app and i just love you tube in general. I also have Instagram and snap chat so i have been shaped by those too, but not as much as you tube and video games. Instagram and snap chat have shaped me by showing me what people believe there supposed to look like, all the girls on the two look are trying to get the closest to being “perfect”, i believe in perfection, and I also believe that everyone is perfect, everybody has their own perfection, some people think that there not strong enough or they are overweight. That's just simply not true, you have what you have for a reason, and that reason is your perfection. once again, I own the Instagram and snap chat apps and this is what I truly feel about perfection, this comes from the bottom of my heart. Video games have shaped me a lot by telling me what is considered ok and what is considered bad.for example, in mine craft you are not supposed to use gold for armor or weapons, since to older and more experienced gamers gold is really brittle and it easily breaks. gaming has shaped me in a lot of different ways, firstly it has shown me how gamers react to certain things, such as winning losing and teaming. Also gaming has taught me what is considered good and bad in the gaming world. gaming is pretty important to me and I spend a lot of my time doing it. I have gotten pretty good at some of the games I own. |
Project ReflectionFor this project, the assignment was to create a mask out of plaster and paint how we see ourselves compared to how other people see us or what we truly feel inside and things like that. Then we were told to wright an essay on our mask and what it means to us. I chose to show how I truly feel inside and what matters to me and what i'm working on. Some of the things I did leading up to this are reading “Metamorphosis” by “Franz Kafka” and annotating the movie “Mean Girls” and learning about the ship of Theseus. Doing these assignments helped me learn about identity and socialization.
In this project I had to step out of my comfort zone. There was a lot of writing involved and writing is really hard for me. I didn't really ask for help when I needed it which I regret. Had I asked for help when I needed it, I would have had my essay done a lot sooner. I feel that I persevered a lot in this project. I eventually wrote my essay and I am proud of what I did. I feel that it is some of my better work than I have turned into my past teachers. It was really difficult but i still got through it. I take a lot of pride in my work because it is more than I have written normally in the past and I feel that it is good quality. This project impacted me as a student by teaching me about socialization and identity and how they impact everybody. They have also made me think differently about |
