In Maria G's blog, she talked about how the photographer from Born Into Brothels also struggled just as the kids did, but in a different way. I replied to that by saying :
Maria, what I enjoyed most about this post was that you focused more on the photographer and how she struggles along with them. This gave me a different perspective of the movie, because i just looked at it through the eyes of the children and how hard it was for them.
Also, I never thought to really connect it back to Shadow Catcher in the way that you did. I always took different angles but I agree that the importance of identity was definitely a major part in both of these works of art.
In Deena M's blog, she talked about the importance in your expression of style, and not wearing a uniform. I replied to that by saying:
I can relate to this blog post probably more than most people, since I went to a catholic school for 10 years of my life. Not only did the uniforms bother me by there appearance but I don't think that it is fair for someone to punish you based on your appearance. There is much more to it than just being able to pick your own clothes. The school I went to, everyone was the same. Not only in the way we dressed, but since we all dressed the same then we were classified as basically the same snobby rich north shore kid.
These things bother me.
When you talked about teenagers being able to express themselves and have a sense of freedom; I completely agreed with that. Having your own sense of style is something that makes a person different from everyone else.
