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: In Identity, the masks show how people hide their true selves to fit in. The moment that stood out to me was when the main character rips off her mask, showing how powerful it is to finally be yourself. This connects to “I, Too,” because both show the importance of being seen for who you really are. For my own mask, I want it to reveal the confident part of me that I usually keep hidden. Summary: We watched a video and read a Langston Hughes poem. Reflection: I was able to turn in my identity mask.
