The Importance of Having an Identity

Henry Lawsons poem siemens Class Wait Here (Second Class) shows that when an individuation is forced upon an individual (an outcome of class labelling) they may grapple to feel a positive sense of belonging. Gordon Bennetts three-panel canvas artwork Triptych Requiem, Of Grandeur, Empire (Triptych) exemplifies how strongly accept ones identity under difficultcircumstances leads to a deep and enriching sense of belonging that may append out to others. Through the shepherd Corin, Shakespeare shows that a strong sense of identity can overshadow the derogations do by others.When Touchstone claims in Act Two that he is one of Corins betters, Corin replies contentedly Or else are they very wretched. Further on in the play, Touchstone uses simile to describe Corin like an nauseated roasted egg, cooked all on one side when claiming Corin to be wicked having never been to court. Corin, happy with his unsophisticated lifestyle, shrugs off each remark stating Thou have too courtly a wit for me Ill rest. Contrastingly, Lawson in his poem Second Class shows how a lack of acceptance to ones identity leads to a negative outlook on ones circumstances.At the railstation Lawson works he feels surrounded and held game by signboards stating Second Class wait here. To Lawson, the signboards become metaphors for social labelling and cause him At suburban line stations you may see them as you pass There are signboards on the platform state Wait here second class And to me the whirr and thunder and the cluck of running gear Seems to be forevermore saying, saying Second class wait here https//www. oppapers. com/join. php? join_type=free
