The Lazy Gent
Flash fiction
You should
not sleep tell 2
there is
always plenty to do
Yet you
find yourself in bed tell 2
You could
go outside in play
Although
its bright outside you might damage an eye
You could
read a book a noon
Yet that’s
too early for you to think
You could
get up at 8 and play a tune
But to you
all music is a lullaby you’ll be back asleep by 9
You could
game at 10
But you did
that tell 5 am
last night
you did
That is why
you slept till 2
And you
should not sleep tell 2 cause
There is
always plenty to do
Authors note
I feel like
my personality is laziness. I find this to be my personality because it
explains a lot about my life. I feel
being lazy is a good thing because lazy people find all the shortcuts and get
thing done quicker then most people. While we might not be the first one done
because of procrastination we will always be finished on time if we feel like
it. I feel my picture shows this because I passed out before I could even get
rid of the controller. Plus, a lot of gamers are lazy. You can also the
laziness with the fact the glasses are still on. Another sign of laziness is because i didn't even turn off the light. That is why I feel this picture perfectly
shows the laziness in my personality Plus the flash fiction shows this because
of the fact it says you should not sleep tell 2 pm and this shows laziness
because most people don’t sleep tell 2. There are only a few reasons to sleep
Intel 2 am and obviously, the number one reason is laziness.
They say I
say
Some researchers believe that choices
you make are what shape your identity. Like
wearing black makes you gothic or wearing comfy clothes make you lazy. They
believe identity is shaped by your choices and what you choose tells you what
your identity is. Other researchers believe that your identity is the reason
you make the choices you make. This is just what came first the chicken or the
egg all over again but it’s about the mind.
Here is what
the journalist Natasha Clark thought about how identity is identified. She said
that she believes that,’” If we never made any choices, then we would never
have a personality”. She is pretty much saying that without making decisions
you will not have a personality. She said” Therefore, the choice to step around
the rock has made us more careful as a person. Part of our identity could be
therefore a caring person.” This shows
she believes the choices we make because of the outside world will change the
shape of our personality. Another thing she said was,” Just because we hate
carrots as a kid, and that could be, a part of our identity… it doesn’t mean we
will always hate carrots. Identities change.” This show that she thinks that
there is no final ending identity and that it is always changing. This shows
she believes that choices shape our identity, but it also shows that identity
is flexible and always changing.
I think that
Identity defines your choices but can be changed by how you must change your
choices to work with the world around you.
This shows that I agree with Natasha about identity being flexible, but
I disagree with her and most researchers about choices making identity because
I think identity comes first. One of the reasons I think this is what would
cause your first choice. Where you just like I like that one and, in that case,
why did you like that one. The reason for you liking that one was the fact that
you already had an identity before your first choice you ever had. Therefore, I
feel identity came before choices but the world around us causing to change or
choice can still change your identity.
I really like the argument your they say/I say discusses because it's a different take on personality. I also like the comparison of identity and choices to the chicken and the egg. It is an interesting argument I had never thought of before.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is in your authors note when you say, "I feel being lazy is a good thing because lazy people find all the shortcuts and get thing done quicker then most people." That is a really clever and positive way of thinking, rather than a more self deprecating approach that so many people take on laziness.
ReplyDeletei really like how you created a new flash fiction and tied it with the picture, i also like how you included the idea of which came first chicken or egg
ReplyDeleteI like for how all of your ideas and concepts are tied neatly together in a neat bow. In the beginning, you explain to us for how your a lazy identity. You don't like to do things active, but you are awake late in the night. You don't want those things to define you, but you've accepted them as a part of your makeup. Your photo helps to explain that a lot also. You see yourself sleeping there, but it almost seems your body is forcing itself to get up. Finally, you state that your identity is determined by your actions. Again, you state you're comfortable with who you are. That's awesome! Glad I got to proof read this.
ReplyDeleteI like that that your flash fiction was poetic and went along with how you think everyday. then your picture showing what you do and like to do helps with that
ReplyDeleteI liked your flash fiction, i could relate to the laziness and gaming till 2 and i never actually took into consideration that being lazy could be a good thing in getting things done fast.
