Prompt: 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?

 One moment from the film that stood out to me was the bathroom scene. I say this because that's when the girl realized she shouldn't be afraid. This connects to the poem because it demonstrates that you shouldn't let anyone stop you from doing what you like. The part of my identity that I want my mask to reveal is my dreams. I say this because I want to prove to people who don't believe in me.

Summary: Today in class, I worked on the mask project.

Reflection: Today in class, I learned more of analyzing poems.
