I will achieve this "transformation" by attempting to chose my own path in highschool life- that means overcoming my attachment issues. "I was not able to work well then. I was worried about my family, not about how clean I could get the floors or how white the sheets." (Chevalier 64) This quote works with my image because Griet was too caught up in worrying about her family, like I may be with my friends, to do a good job on her work. I believe this might happen if I do take my own path because of my make-sure-everyone-I-care-about-is-okay nature and my habit of being very much attached to the people I get close to. So, unless I get over both of those, but not completely turning into a rude little child who gives no cares to her friends, my "transformation" will probably not fully succeed.
An achievement of this "transformation" that will be simple is still being me. Actually, no, this could possibly be something extremely difficult, depending on how highschool treats me. "'Take care to remain yourself.' I lifted my shin to him. 'To remain a maid, sir?' 'That is not what I mean. The women in his paintings- he traps them in his world. You can get lost there.'" (Chevalier 186) This quote, a short conversation between Griet and van Leeuwenhoek, is a great for being compared to me and what highschool could do to me. It can suck me into drama (the bad kind) and what ever else occurs in my later years that could stray me from myself.
First off, I love your picture! I think it's so creative how you put the things you enjoy on your head and how this shows your "thinking" of them. Also, in your blog, I like how you brought up the topic of being yourself because I want to stay myself through high school too. I know exactly how you feel because I want to change but not so much that I lose who I am. I don't want to get caught up in the drama either and let people's mean words change me. I want to be me.
ReplyDeleteI love your background! It's so colorful and full of joy! Your picture is very nice and very creative. I agree with you when you say you want to stay yourself through high school, so do I. You're an amazing drawer and you'd be great in theatre.
ReplyDeleteI would not be able to keep that on my head. I think that the objects reflect your personality and who you want to be when you grow up. You don't want to change for something that is out their. You want to be the people that are positive around you and your personality.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture! You are such a cute person and super creative. You really thought outside of the box for this project I truly enjoyed reading this. I love how you put all the things on your head and how you said you want to be yourself. I as well want to continue to be myself and not let other peoples opinions about me bring me down or tear me apart as who I am as a person. I love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteCasey this is so super creative! I really love everything you thought of including, and how you truly took symbolism severely. I'm happy you aren't going to change yourself to fit what others think, I mean after all, that's who you are. I can't imagine you as having a different personality. I mean, who else would put Homestuck as their background excluding people with personality's like a few of our friends, and us. Haha~! I'm proud of you, my little cat-eared friend.
