Question 1:  Describe one of your Chosen Identities on this identity map.  What is it?  Why did you choose this identity?

One of chosen identities is that I like the color blue . The color blue is a color that a lot of people use. I choose this identity because blue catches my attention and all shades of blue are beautiful and I just love blue but I’m not really crazy about it.

Question 2:  Describe one of your Assigned Identities on this identity map.  What is it?  Why is this an identity something that is fixed for you, and cannot be changed?

One of my assigned identity is that I was born in June 24th. June 24th is a day in the calendar.  This identity cannot be changed because that was the day I was born and no one can just straight up tell me ohh no you were born in December 12. Also I can’t choose the day that I was born because nothing was planned and I couldn’t tell my mother oh I want to come out in this certain day and month and year.

Question 1:  Do you think the cartoon avatar of yourself truly shows what you look like?  Explain why, or why not. 

I think my cartoon avatar does not look like me because there weren’t a lot of options of various things like my eye color and more hairstyles. The glasses part were okay and the eyebrows are okay. I think I matched my skin color good I think it would be better to have much more options.

Question 2:  Which parts of the cartoon avatar show chosen identities?  Which parts show assigned identities?  Explain your answers. 

the things I chose was the background and the shirt part and color. I also choosed the closes shape that my face has. The part that shows assigned identities is the fact that I wear glasses so my avatar needed glasses too.
