What is your identity? People say I’m funny, creative, and kind. My family, religion, and friends really impact my identity. One way my identity is found is through my family. My dad and mom got a divorce last year. That really impacted me and my whole family. Even though this time in my life my family has helped in every way possible. My mom spreads her love and provides for us. My grammy and my grandpa always help you when you need it and find a way to make you laugh. My grandma is like a…

Identity is how a person defines themselves. It could be things like race, morals, sexuality, gender, height, weight, etc. Nearly anything that could be used to describe a person could be part of their identity, but only if that person is willing to adapt that aspect of their life into their identity. These things that people define themselves have the ability to change, but in order for that to occur there either needs to be a slow, gradual change caused by a long-term event or a strong event…

Identity is an enigma that every teenager struggles with. It's the conflict in each of our very own Bildungsromans - who are we? When I started the Common Application on August 1st, being the overachiever that I am, I believed that I did not have an identity to write about. I knew that I liked reading and music or that I hated algebra, but I didn't have an overarching sense of self. How could I write about myself in such a way as to impress admissions officers when I didn't even think I had a…

Identity is what we defined as recognizing and accepting your own personality as a whole. For some people, it is difficult to recognize or accept themselves because of other people’s opinions or their own experiences in life. The people who take other’s opinion seriously do not realized that they are judging themselves; while the people who let their experiences defined them. Identity can change based on many factors and it takes time to understand what your identity is. A great example is my…

What is identity? I once believed identity could frankly be found when someone asked, “who are you?” and one would acknowledge by endowing their name. However, I have come to the realization that although a name is a significant aspect, it is still solely a scratch on the surface of representing identity. Numerous factors such as gender, age and race to the more varied such as personality, values and backgrounds, among others, all convene to structure this one concept we label as identity. If…

Identity is a very convoluted and confusing subject to many because it covers so many aspects of oneself, the way people view others, the social context and all the choices made during the growing period. Beverly Daniel Tatum wrote an article “The Complexity of Identity” to explain its construction using the many identities of oneself and the relationship between domination and subordination. When trying to identify oneself people usually ask the question who they are. It began a multitude of…

Our identity is like a kaleidoscope. With each turn, we reset it not to a former or final state but to a new one that reflects the here-and-now positions of the pieces we have to work with. Firstly we must understand the concept of who is "I". Identity or "I" usually refers to certain properties to which a person feels a sense of attachment or ownership. A personal identity in this sense consists of features a person uses to "define themselves as a person". Even if the identity may feel…

Flexibility of your beliefs, alignments, and interest are the only ways to be truly authentic. No one should be ascribed a definition. The human spirt is simply too intertwined with others and with the world to limit its itself. However, at a specific moment people can take up an identity. The Encyclopedia of Language and Linguist states that “identities are how we represent who we are to ourselves and others and how we interpret who others are” (Joseph 2006). More importantly, a flexible…

Dramatic irony is an elaborate gadget that is generally utilized by storytellers, in plays, in the theater, and in movies. This produces tension between what characters say and do, and what the audience knows to be true. The use of dramatic irony was used in two dramatic productions, both the short story Happy Endings written by Margaret Atwood and the movie Chinatown directed by Roman Polanski. In the short story Happy Endings the author introduces her literature into six stories labeled from…
