Where I'm From?
I am from Polly Pockets,
Barbies, Ellie the elephantand my worry dolls.
I am from the Teletubbies, Dexter's Laboratory,
Winnie the Poohand all the Home Alone movies.
I am from sailing around the Greek Islands
and dressing my brother up as a girl.
I am from Scotland;
cold, wet, and green.
I am from playing in the snow.
I am from my marshmallow jacket.
I am from the old scary Dell computer
and the scar on my right upper lip.
I am from Tiddle Pop, Looly, tinternet, consputer and d’migusting!
I am from the blinding colours of a picture,
that swirl into a beautiful image.
I am from the single picture concealed in a stack of thousands.
I am from that single, unique, and complex picture.
Me!
Blue sandals from Zara.Long tanned legs
with about a thousand scars on them.
Small navy school shorts
with a small panther head
on the left leg,
lend up by a new navy belt I got from my mum
over the holiday.
I have on a light blue polo shirt
with my school logo in the left hand corner.
On top of that I have a navy cardigan from my aunt
that she got in Gap because French class is COLD!
My favorite turquoise
that I got for my birthday last year lies on my left wrist.
I had to put my hair up in science so it is very messy like me!
Is Identity Worth Fighting For
A person’s identity is with out a doubt, worth fighting for.
If we didn’t have an identity everyone
would be the same and that is just plane BORING. Your identity forms who you
are not just on the inside but on the outside too. Occasionally others can
stamp our identity on our foreheads with permanent ink. A great example of this
would be the poem that we read in class,
Maybe Dats Youwr Pwoblem Too. In this poem "Spiderman"
wants to be something other than "Spiderman" but you just can't quit
being "Spiderman", people depend on you. "Spiderman’s" suit
is "fwame wesistent". This means that he can't just give up his
identity of being "Spiderman" because people have this image of
him and his identity, keeping him confined to that identity ONLY. We need to
fight for our identities they are important, don't let anyone tell you
different!
