Assignment 3

Exercise 4: Pick a Color.



I am gold. I am rich and full of majesty. I'm rich in elegance and in class. I am strong at times and I can be weak at times because I can be melted and I can be a solid. I shine bright to others to try to bring them joy when I can.



Exercise 5: The Private-Eye Game



Walking through this person room, I would say that they are unorganized but is always busy. It seems like they are rarely at home home because of the many clothes that lay around the room and all of the books and work that lay around the room. What I noticed though is that it seems like when they are in their room they are comfortable in their surrounding. It seems like they are a cozy person because all of the pillows in the room. The clothes and shoes in the closet shows that the person doesn't like to be seen much because of all the dark color clothes. The majority of the colors in the closet are brown and gray and black. There are only a few bright colored clothes. I also noticed that this person pays a lot of attention to small details. Even though the clothes in the closet may seem bland and dead, there is a gold jewlry box that contains a lot of jewlry in it. That tells me that the person knows how to use what they have to spark something up that may be dead. It also seems as if this person cherishes loved ones because of the pictures in the room. I also noticed that this person like to carry big purses which may mean that they like to carry their whole life with them.

Exercise 8: Your Ideal Environment

My ideal envrionment would be a place where everyone was happy with laughter and never complained. I would want a place where there wasn't anyone complaining because then there would be less arguments and less problems in the world. It seems to me that if everyone was to work together for the good of others then there really wouldn't be any problems in the world and then everyone would just be grateful for what they have and look at it as a blessing. I would like to live an in environment that was full of laughter because for me laughghter seems to bring my heart joy. That would be a wonderful place to live in because then everyone would have a smile on their face! If I was able to realy live this environment then I would probably spend all day watching funny moves with my family and friends.

Exercise 9: Your Ideal Day

I am awake at 10:45 in the morning and I am making breakfast. I am eating grits, eggs, and sausage. I call my mother and my grandmother to see how they are doing. I text my boyfriend to see how he is doing and to see if our date is still on for the night. I am taking a long hot shower with my favorite shower gel. I am putting on my favorite outfit and perfume. I am driving to class in my mercedes to futher my education and I have a clear understanding of everything. After classes I am going to meet up with my girlfriends so that we can go downtown and have lunch. It is a sunny day outside so me and my friends are going to go to the lakefront and then probably go for a swim. I am tired now and I am going home to go and take a shower so that when my boyfriend calls, I will be ready to go out to dinner. We are going to Shaws downtown for a nice dinner. He lets me order anything I want on the menu! He takes me back home where we go in and finish the night off with listening to old school music and laughing the night away.

Fantasy Analysis:Getting Down to the Basics

Q 1: A house, friends, mom and grandmother.

Q 2: A companion, and my mercedes

Q 3: Waking up as late as I do in the morning, having all the money I wanted to do everything

Q 4: I think that my life would be pretty much still joyful if I just had my house/condo and was able to hear from my mom and grandmother everyday.

Q 5: My friends and family is about the only things that I have of the elements that I listed. I have a place to live but it is on campus though.

Q 6: My condo is what is missing from my life, my mercedes, and my boyfriend. I am also missing money that I would use to do all of the fun things that I want to do in life.

Q 7: The obstacles that may be stopping me from having my ideal day tomorrow would probably be the economy as well as being in school. I don't have money, I am going to have to owe money when I am finished with school, an I would also have to find a job which would also be hard. In order for me to gain this ideal day I have to finish out this stage of my life right now and that is focusing on what it is that is going to give me everything that I am hoping for.
