''You have to do the best with what god gave you.''-Ms.Gump. This quote helped me understand her identity by showing immediately that she was religious and very optimistic about life believing you can turn any situation into a good one. The reason I chose the images of Allen Iverson as a child and adult is to show how he came from a not so fortunate situation growing up in the ghetto of south central Los Angeles but how he didn’t let that set him back and made the best of what he was given and turned into one of the greatest NBA players of all time. This also makes up Allen Iverson’s identity as one of the most tough and determined payers to ever wear a jersey in the NBA and it started from where he grew up.
''Life's like a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get.''-Ms.Gump. This quote helped me understand Ms.Gumps identity by revealing her look on life as an unpredictable meaning she’s flexible and always accepting the unexpected. I chose the image of some Poker chips and cards because they represent chance and risk. In poker and gambling there is no sure things and you never know what kind of cards you will get and have to be prepared for anything.
''Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here.''-Jenny Curran. This quote helps to understand Jenny’s identity by showing how she is first off religious and believes in god. Also how she is growing up in an abusive environment that she does not want to be in. This is later shown by how Jenny is a wanderer never staying in a home for very long because she really was raised that way and never was comfortable in one place. I chose the picture of the lion hunting the zebra because of how much the zebra would be wishing it could just fly away and be anywhere in the world except the jaws of a vicious Lion looking for dinner.
''Mama always said you have to put the past behind you to move on.''-Forrest Gump. This quote shows how Forrest is an extremely resilient individual who is very good at moving forward in life and not looking back on things often. I chose an Image of NFL football star Michael Vick to represent the quote. I chose this because how many know Michael was a star in the NFL till he was convicted of running several illegal dog-fighting rings and sentenced to 2 years in prison. When he came out he was a changed man and put his past mistakes behind him to become a better player then he ever was before.
''They told me you'd kill me. I came to find out. But killing isn't easy. You can take my word for it.''-Torres (Just Lather That’s All). This quote shows the identity of general Torres by showing immediate bravery for he walked into the hands of the enemy presenting himself the opportunity to be killed just to prove a point. But also that the man was not the heartless mercenary he seemed to be to the rebels because of how he says killing isn’t easy. I chose the picture of the crying soldier because of how difficult it must be for them to kill in battle just like Torres said it would be.
''And he was rich yes, richer than a king. And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything. To make us wish that we were in his place.''-Richard Cory. This shows us that the identity of Richard Cory is a very admirable one. How he was extremely wealthy and well brought up pretty much overall just an excellent well rounded member of society. Also how the public was jealous and wanted to be just like him. I chose a picture of Vinnie Chase from the TV show entourage because nearly every man in the entire world would love to be in his place. Rich good looking well mannered and educated Vinnie lives the good life very similarly too Richard Cory.
''So it was going to be very difficult to explain that I had him right in my hands and let him go peacefully.''-Barber (Just Lather That’s All). What this says about the barbers identity is that he is not a murderer but at the same time self conscious and worried what his peers would think if he lets this slip out of his grasp when he had a chance to end the life of general Torres once and for all. I chose the Picture of David Freese Hitting the walk off homerun to win the world series because the Texas Rangers were one strike away from ending it all but they let it slip away from them at the most vital moment and it ended up costing them the championship.
The EQ I believe connects most with my visual was how are people transformed through their relationships with others? We all just want to be accepted for who we are. Unfortunately for some of us that is something difficult for our peers, friends and family to comprehend. When they are constantly seeing a different aspect of who we are. It is sometimes that we strive to fit a mold either to be the way others want us to be or act a certain way to be perceived a way we want to be perceived as. Often it is not an accurate portrayal of who we are. From the day we are born the relationship with our parents effects who we are for example with Greg from Brother Dear has an unhealthy relationship with his father prompting him to be very closed with his emotions and having a private identity all because of that relationship with his father being one that he wasn’t proud of. So individually those around us are constantly affecting our identities.
