New Assignment: Identity

Over the last two weeks we have evaluated the people we are connected to; who influence us; and have started to look at who we are through writing a personal mission statement.

Please read the following poems and answer the questions below:

Identity

Identity please security do ask As you show them your identity pass They look at it letting you through But its that plastic card really you That snapshot image of your face Is not what your identity makes Your true Identity is much more complex Something a mere image doesn’t reflects The way you care or feel is part of you Your inner soul we hope keeps you true Perhaps you have a real gift Or maybe others spirits you do lift It’s the way you laugh and joke Or the way you give others hope Perhaps its that you fight so hard Or that no one can ever beat u at cards Or that you are a great cook Identity is not just how you do look Its how you act think what you find true That’s the identity of being you Micron

Identity of a person

Identity of a person Identity signifies complexity Identity identifies with reality Identity is the bearer of all vanity How does a person identify with identity? You define yourself based on what? They say, they say You’re kind or moral based on what? Or You’re a genius and shrewd based on what? Or You make the perfect lover, look for no other They say, they say You’re strong without a thought it may not last long Or You’ve skills since with a record you run up high bills Or You are shy but no one ever talks to you or says hi Or You never give up because right now you are on top They say, they say You are generous or gregarious when all you are is conscious Or You’re innovative yet not the originator of the idea conceived What are the facts? That makes your identity intact When change on identity has the last impact? Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi Sylvia Chidi Questions: 1. Why is identity important? 2. Why is it so complicated or is it? 3. What or who makes up the biggest part of your identity? 4. How does the concept of getting to know yourself or defining yourself make you feel? 5. What role does college or programs like Bonner play in defining yourself?
