SO to be honest, I didn't get anything from the movie. It confused me and I forgot everything about it accept one thing and that was the comment about God. I agreed with the fact that the image of God shouldn't be of a man because that is something he isn't. Making him a man is simply personification.
As for this class, I feel like I got to bring out a lot of my creativity. I've always liked to do crafts and this class has allowed me to do some of that. Thinking is important. Questioning causes progress.
It was awesome.

FINAL-who am i
Alright so I answered the questions and made a model of paper with my answers.
Who are you in the eyes of others?
Pretty, confident, perfect life, sweet, funny, always happy, everything under control
How do you perceive yourself?
Attractive, not driven enough, afraid, fantastic friend, overall confused about identity, funny, smart, lazy, amazing caregiver, loyal, sensitive, crazy, curious, laid-back
Why are you here?
I am here to make others happy and to portray my parents' vision of perfection.
What are the implications of your identity to others?
People like to be around me. They call on me when they need something because they know I'm someone they can count on. They are generally happy around me.
How are you affected by others?
When around people I know, I'm outgoing, crazy and make everyone laugh. I'm more reserved and watch how they act when around people I don't know to gauge their tolerance. Around my parents, I act as if everything is fine. Around my boyfriend, I try to be absolutely perfect.
Is identity static?
Identity is static. You are who you are, only perception changes.
I put question #1 on the person's glasses because it's the reflection of what someone sees in me.
I put question #2 on the cutout of me because that's how I feel.
I put question #3 at my cutout's feet because that's where I stand in life.
Question #4 and 5 are the shadows because that's how perceptions are casted.
And of course I just posted question #6 almost like a stamp on the page. Yup.

POST fear project
So my fear project discussed my fear of knives. Because I didnt want to actually show anything bad, I showed a video of a successful attempt at the game "five-finger fillet." It seemed to make most people squeamish the way I had expected. The only way I think I could have achieved a better response is if I showed a failed attempt....no.
Everyone should know which projects affected me most...since I cried and shared so pretty deep shit. Forgive me, I don't remember the names of the people that presented them bc I'm terrible with names but it was the fear of not living up to expectations and fear of being myself. I obviously shared those views and yeah...Impacted my project by making it seem a little less significant.

Bliss
I'm taking "created" very literally. At work, my boss was talking about asking an ex employee to make signs for the department. My boyfriend told him that he should ask me to do it instead. I took the request seriously and put a lot of effort into making the sign. Because they turned out so well, my boss posted them around the department and emailed it to other managers bragging. Our district manager saw the sign and said he was going to take it to corporate to see if they could distribute them country-wide. I was VERY proud of what I accomplished.
Limitations
I face limitations every day, much like most everybody. My biggest limitation is money. I live paycheck to paycheck on depreciating funds. I've been losing weight because I can't afford bills. I'm behind in bills because I can barely pay rent. I have to sometimes sacrifice school because I don't have money to put in my gas tank. Money doesn't by you everything, but it's nice to have...

55?
For my last project, I made little frog-like things out of paperclips. Turning it into a project a 55 year old would do, I hung them from strings like a wind chime. The reason I did this was because it's creative but if you're 55, you are probably still busy. Simplicity is key.
