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.

  1. 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.

  3. My 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.

  5. I 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.

  6. I 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
