About me and my pictures' connection to Girl With a Pearl Earring
I choose this picture because it shows how I like to dress professionally and how I am not afraid to show that I dress nicely and professionally. I also choose this picture because this picture was taken the night of Homecoming, and I had a great night that night hanging at with all my friends before, during, and after the dance. Also, I'm not looking directly at the camera during the picture, so it somewhat shows a sense of daydreaming or not paying attention.
This picture I took relates to Girl With a Pearl Earring because in the book Greit is not very open in her life about herself, especially now with herself in her new conditions with the family she is working for. One main feature she conceals mainly is her hair as she says, "He reached a hand toward my head. I moved away..." (Chevalier 122). On the other hand I am very open with myself, with my hair, my body, and a way this is shown is I am dressed professionally, which I like doing, when on the other hand, as I stated before, Greit does not.
Another way the picture of myself relates to the story is Greit, in her self-portrait, is not looking straight forward and that could be a sense of her feeling that she is not as high a class of the people she is working for, and because of the she feels demoted so she doesn't want to look directly at the painter. One time she feels this way is when she first arrives to be the maid and she says, "I looked up at the house. It was certainly grander than ours..." (Chevalier 15). In my picture I am also not looking right straight ahead at the camera, (if you look very carefully you can tell my eyes are off to the side) this is because I had a moment where I wasn't paying attention or I was daydreaming, but I am not looking away for the same reason Greit is.
Trevor, first off, I like your classiness. I think our friend group likes to be very classy, I being one of those persons. You say that you are very open with yourself and I definitely agree that you are, whether that be good thing or not, *wink face*; and the same goes for me. What really stands out to me in your post is when you talk a bit about how you often times will just daydream at random times and just not pay attention for a bit. I find it to be very humorous that you included that information about yourself, but I also find it to be true sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTrevor,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your blog! I like that you are not afraid to be who you are. Also, that you are very open with others, and show who you are on the inside externally. I like that you are not looking directly at the camera. This shows that sometimes, much like everyone you just get caught up in thoughts and daydream, while you are looking off into space. I like that you included background information on the picture and the day as well.
Trevor, I first want to state how I love the fact that you're not looking into to camera directly, and how you used that to show that you're always caught in a daydream. Aren't we all? That fits you so perfectly, you're always that one person that will say "What?" just as someone finishes a joke or story, (I don't mean that in any bad way) and I love that you were able to show that in this picture. I also love the fact that you used a picture where you were dressed up. It really does show that sometimes everybody['s life could use a little bit of class. It spices things up.
ReplyDeleteTrevor, your picture looks very serious and mature. You are very talented and smart. You will do great things in the future. Keep your head up high and don't let anything distracting get in your way.
ReplyDeleteTrevor,
ReplyDeleteYour classiness defiantly reflects you. Your talented at a ton of things, especially music, and very smart. I like how you're not afraid to be yourself and have a great personality. I know you'll go far in life. Also, I like how you're not looking in the camera because you say you daydream a lot which reminds me of your "Trevorism" of saying, "What?" Anyway, you're a great, talented, and one of my great friends.
