Identity means who you are.It’s made up of different parts of you that make you special and unique.
Every person is like a puzzle. Each piece is part of their identity.
No two people have the exact same puzzle!
It helps you understand yourself.
It helps you feel proud of who you are.
It helps you respect others who are different from you.
A mirror is something you look into and see yourself.
So, a mirror identity is when you:
See your own life and experiences in a story, book, movie, or lesson.
Feel like, “Hey! That’s just like me!”
Example:
Imagine you’re painting a picture of your family at a festival you celebrate, like Diwali, Lunar New Year, or Thanksgiving. It shows your life, your culture, and your traditions. It helps you feel proud of who you are.
A window is something you look through to see someone else’s world.
So, a window identity is when you:
Learn about someone who is different from you.
Think, “Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s interesting!”
🧑🦱 Example:
If you read a story about a kid who lives in a different country or practices a different religion, that’s a window. You’re seeing into their life and learning about them.
