self identity

Sun Aug 30, 2009, 7:15 AM
so by sept the 9th i have to have a essay completed by these standards
"""Reflection/Definition: Identity as understood as self/as understood as a part of a community (15%)
Writing for an audience of your 1100 classmates, you will describe and explain your sense of identity as you know yourself separate from or as part of a community. Communities come in many forms – your home town, your family, a cheerleading squad, a goth group, a sports team, your geographical origin – so consider all the elements/events that define those particulars, and describe those while discussing the parts that make you unique from or an exemplar of those particulars.

Your purpose in telling your classmates about this identity is to help them understand your current attitudes toward self-identification. In other words, your narrative should help your classmates see what “identity” means to you (based on the events you describe) and should convey the personal significance of your past experiences. We will look at several sample identity narratives in class to give you a better idea of the kinds of events you might describe and the strategies you might use to explain their significance. The events you choose to write about may have had positive or negative effects, but in either case you must carefully describe the event for your audience, keeping in mind that most of your classmates are not familiar with your family, community, or your cultural or educational background.

Your narrative should be approximately 4 pages (+/- 1100 words) and will be typed in Times New Roman, 12 pt, with 1” margins throughout.

Initial draft due: Sep. 9""

So i figured that one of the things that i use as a community is the deviantart community. I figure i will right alot of notes in my notes thingy and what not, and i will totually post the first draft on what i consider identity... With that said, what do all my friends consider identity? Is it your art? THe color of your skin? Your history? Your sexual preference? what makes us into who we are?

That is going to be the big question because i am always asking myself who i am, questioning myself and pondering on my self identity... This man just opened a can of worms... I hope hes ready :)

  • Reading: what i just wrote DUH!
  • Watching: the comp screen
  • Playing: with myself
  • Eating: hopes and dreams
  • Drinking: ditto................
