INGTEGRATIVE SEMINAR 5 – 27/08/2019 – MALVIKA MA’AM

This session, again, gave me a clear idea of what metaphors are and how are they written. We discussed the metaphors from the chapter 3 of Metamorphosis book.

• Imprisonment
• Isolation – locked doors
• Alienation – couch
• Shift of furniture – shift of feelings of family members.
• Footsteps – hope to hopelessness

-> Assignment – Write an essay of 500 – 600 words on the topic “WHO AM I”.

WHO AM I

THE TRANSPARENT ME

A blend of kindness and stubbornness makes me the way I am. Being self-less and fun-loving is what people know me for. I’m full of positivity and grace. I’m either benevolent or miserly, and nothing in between. But, I am ethical, responsible and trustworthy. Without adventures and risks, my life is incomplete. My eyes, filled with passion and glory, never let me down. The zeal in my heart, the glory in my eyes, charm in me, the craze in me, that woe of mine for others, that obsession that I have with few things in my life makes me a ravishing person. Inspite of being uninteresting at times, I am also vivacious. Being an introvert, I often tend to hold everything in heart and never share it with anyone. 

I am a feather – very sensitive. I am a kind of person who can do anything for the people I love, but when it comes to foes, I can be a very tough creature for them, kind of person who just starts screaming out of nowhere and tell people how crazy I am. I never judge people, may be because I never like people judging me. Though my soft heart sometimes pulls me into trouble, I always want to be the same.

No, wait! I’m not that perfect. I also have some flaws. I start annoying people, I think I’m close to, but that actually ruins our relationship, may be because I feel I am close to them, but that doesn’t tend to be from the other side. I, sometimes also become dominating for the same reason. Moreover, I get irritated at times, for every small thing and at that point, I only want people to listen to me.

People say I’m rude or my tone isn’t that convincing, but I’m actually a watermelon – harsh from outside but very pulpy from in, and comes my another flaw – I expect people to understand this. I expect a lot from people. Though these flaws sometimes prove me dumb, they make a COMPLETE ME.
