Identity Poem

Physical or Digital

Let them be as pencils

always used, shared, bought

but needing to be sharpened

I’d rather be a computer

access to everything, like a library

plugged into a database

To have been carved from wood

to scratch, to slide over the paper

To be manufactured in a factory

millions of exact clones, but only eleven with me

traveling all over the world and even in space

I’d rather be digital

than to be sharpened, recycled

most often wasted and thrown away

where it is forgotten and erased from history

by countless dumps and landfills

I’d rather be fed power

than to be a pile of forgotten wood

If I could access everything, flawlessly and efficiently,

I’d rather be a powerful computer.

Reflection:

One of my assignments for my identity unit in English is the identity poem. Using the poem "Identity" by Julio Noboa Polanco, I developed my own poem similar to that. I chose a symbol that represented me and an opposing symbol: a pencil and a computer. One of my daily dilemmas involves whether I should do something physically or digitally. Each method had its advantages and drawbacks.

Learning Targets:

I can write narratives to develop real experiences using symbolism, effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.
I can use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language to convey a vivid picture.

Reflection:

This is my self feature that I created for Video Production. While creating this video, I discovered a lot about myself. I found out what I truly enjoyed in life, what motivated me, and what hobbies I had. I found out that I enjoyed creating things on my computer. Whether it was editing a video, playing the piano, creating graphics, editing photos, or just playing games, I like it all. I especially enjoyed creating this video.
