The Importance of Having an Identity

Henry Lawsons poetry Second family unit Wait Here (Second Class) shows that when an identity is agonistic upon an individual (an outcome of class labelling) they may struggle to feel a positive sense of belonging. Gordon Bennetts three-panel canvas artwork Triptych Requiem, Of Grandeur, Empire (Triptych) exemplifies how potently accepting nonpargonils identity under difficultcircumstances leads to a orphic and enriching sense of belonging that may extend out to others. Through the guard 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 ill cook egg, cooked all on one side when claiming Corin to be wicked having never been to court. Corin, happy with his bucolic lifestyle, shrugs off each remark stating Thou lay down 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 back by signboards stating Second Class wait here. To Lawson, the signboards become metaphors for social labelling and cause him At suburban railroad track stations you may see them as you pass There are signboards on the platform verbalize Wait here second class And to me the zoom along and thunder and the cluck of running gear Seems to be forever saying, saying Second class wait here https//www. oppapers. com/join. php? join_type=free
