I had chosen Tinker Bell because she is physically like me, which is small. I had thought of my name and how much it sounds like Tinker Bell, and how she has a childish attitude and a high-pitched voice, like me. I felt as if Tinker Bell and I were also connected through imagination. We both tend to wander off in our minds sometimes. Tinker Bell is also very creative, just like me. I didn’t use a specific poetic technique. Though, I did use repetition in my poem to emphasize on my characteristic traits. For my graphic, I fist decided to simply change Tinker Bell’s hair and eye color to look like my hair color and eye color. Though, I did feel that doing this was not enough. I had to be included in this graphic. So I turned myself into a fairy. I had put makeup prior to editing the photo. I basically layered different fairy habitat images in my graphic. After doing this project, I feel as if I have discovered myself even more. After finally writing my poem and doing my graphic, I had watched the disney version of Peter Pan. Sadly, I had found that I am similar to Tinker Bell, but I was not her. I was Wendy. Even with how far I had come, I really wanted to change my allusion. I was Wendy because she has a celestial imagination, while Tinker Bell just has a silly imagination. I am also Wendy because she does not want to grow up yet. Wendy wants to continue to keep her imagination and share it with her two younger brothers. Like her, I do share my imagination with my family and friends. I know my response about me learning about myself through allusions may be different from others. But the allusion helped me to open my eyes. I have learned that sometimes we really aren't the person we think we are. We are much better.
