Facemasks

2/20/2023

Analyze the image above. Thoughts? Think and don't simply describe the image or tell me what you see. Break down what it means.

1. INCLUDE: First Initial, Last Name AND Class Block.

2. Respond in no more than five (5) complete sentences and no less than three (3) complete sentences. (This helps you write more concisely and think more critically.)

3. You MUST comment on at least TWO other posts from any student in any class. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

4. Set a weekly alarm or calendar timer. Whatever you do to remember other important events, I'd do the same for this assignment.

5. Don't wait until the last minute. Telling me that you didn't do the assignment on Friday because you broke your leg, for example, on Thursday will not do anything for you when you've had a week. Be responsible and accountable.

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school, your family or your upbringing with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. If you do not write your name correctly, and I don't see your work, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

WARNING: If you post even one second past midnight, your comment might appear to be posted, but as soon as it is opened to be graded, it will automatically delete.

I think the picture demonstrates how people can be "two faced" in the way they act towards others meaning like disloyal or fake in a way.

J ballard 1a

2/22/2023 03:58:03 pm

I agree the picture in my opinion could be used to be as two faced or two identies that are covered up by a fake image , or two mask because they are embarassed.

Zariya B. 1A

I agree I feel like this image is describing that we wear masks to hide how we feel on the inside; hiding our authentic selves, and pretending to be someone we are not. Lots and lots of people wear masks to protect themselves. People hurt alone, they heal in private, and smile in public.

M.Mitchell 6b

2/22/2023 09:05:12 pm

The mask could represent what people use to hide their true intentions and emotions.

eduardo maso 2a

2/22/2023 11:58:56 pm

true, the mask is what hides us and hides how we truly feel.

K Sheffield 2A

2/24/2023 09:03:47 am

In the picture they are holding up masks of smiling faces and behind it theyre sad and disgusted with themselves so yes they're locking away they true emotions and feelings

Jazrionna Givens 2A

2/24/2023 04:27:00 pm

I agree, what you said is true because especially in modern time, anyone and anything can have a double meaning, understanding, or personality.

Sanchez 5B

2/22/2023 09:15:04 pm

I agree either way both sides can be hiding a side of them they are not prepared or not wanting to show.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

2/24/2023 01:13:40 am

I think that could be one way to interpret it. I don't think your'e wrong i just think it's a very simple response. If you elaborated more i'm sure i'd agree with what you came up with.

Leonardo 4A

2/24/2023 09:08:03 am

Now that I think of it, I can't unread this now because of how right this is. There are in fact people out there who have the tendency to be like this, which is why I agree. After all, thanks to the current events in today's society, there's always gonna be something negative to impact us.

Leonardo 4A

2/24/2023 09:10:56 am

My mistake, accidentally put "4A instead of 1A"

F Maltos 3A

2/24/2023 07:53:34 pm

I understand where your coming from because there is two people in a table with a mask and that represents two faced. Which shows that many people act fake towards each other and the other person won’t even realize. They think that there friendship is real when deep down there just hurting their relationship and wasting each other’s time.

K Jacinto 6B

2/24/2023 09:55:31 pm

Yes people do certainly have different “faces” which they aren’t showing their true emotions.

c moore 6b

2/22/2023 04:42:03 pm

i agree the picture looks like its showing how pepole would have two identies and try to use a fake mask to hide there true self from others

Kimberly Yanez 3a

2/24/2023 01:13:01 am

I Agree to this, but not only hiding from the truth but there could be many more reasons why they fake their faces.

K Sheffield 2A

2/24/2023 09:05:10 am

I understand what you're saying and i agree that they dont wanna put the mask down and show their true identity because they're sad and depressed behind it so they front a smile

Leonardo 4A

2/24/2023 09:10:17 am

Agreed, sometimes people, including us would have to hide our true feelings because we fear it may cause negativities to impact us. Such example would include recieving a gift you don't like very much. You have to disguise your true feeling because you care too much about the person to make them feel bad.

J. Hernandez 5B

2/22/2023 06:38:48 pm

A person can act one way just to get through life. You may act happy at work, but deep down really hate your job. You may act like you like school, but deep down you really hate it.

M.Mitchell 6b

2/22/2023 09:00:23 pm

Most people are raised to focus on survival, rather than how things may truly make them feel

B Wilkinson 6B

2/23/2023 10:01:45 am

I agree, some people try to be what other people want them to be instead of being what themselves dream to be.

G. Calderon Batista 2A

2/24/2023 08:03:13 pm

i like this comment because of alot people just fake their way through life just to fit in.

M.Mitchell 6b

2/22/2023 08:54:37 pm

This image represents the mask that we all wear in an attempt to hide our real identities and beliefs. people tend to avoid expressing their true opinions and beliefs, in fear of the retaliation they may receive for it. Maintaining such a facade can feel isolating and emotionally draining.

Sanchez 5B

2/22/2023 09:10:29 pm

I agree not being able to describe an unpleasant feeling to anyone of fear of being more of a disturbance to them rather than a seek for comfort from them.

eduardo maso 2a

2/22/2023 11:57:53 pm

i agree its what others dont see and it can mentally drain one.

ireuna 6B

2/23/2023 11:33:20 am

you right we hide our feeling and our identities because we don't want nobody seeing how we really feel.

M.Banks 6B

2/23/2023 01:02:41 pm

I agree because you don’t know how someone truly feels about anything unless you take that mask off of them and reveal their true colors

Cscott 7B

2/23/2023 02:55:51 pm

i agree with you on this term because most people do tend too avoid / ignore expressing their side on how they feel and it can be draining and hold and emotion toll on you and that picture shows that on the mans side

E. Adame 2A

2/23/2023 04:21:52 pm

Whenever people change like this it changes their emotions and motives because it simply is not the same person. Sometimes, you can completely lose yourself being someone you never thought you would be. Being two-faced with someone else then only being the real you behind closed doors.

G. Calderon Batista 2A

2/24/2023 08:06:28 pm

if you lie for too long you'll start to believe that this whole facade you put one.

R. Beck 5b

2/24/2023 11:34:06 pm

I agree with you because when you get used to using your fake persona and mask everyday thats who you feel you truly are when in reality your a completely different person and you can't express it because of what you have already presented.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

2/24/2023 01:40:11 am

I agree for the most part. I don't think all people do this but i do think the majority do, like 98 percent. Most people are too scared to be vulnerable or real and they mask.

X. McDonald 7B

2/24/2023 02:20:46 pm

I agree because when people are hiding who they really are it usually because of judgement everybody wants everyone to like them which causes them to hide their true identity.

K Jacinto

2/24/2023 09:57:02 pm

Agreed people do try to hide who they really are because they are scared of other opinions.

R. Beck 5b

2/24/2023 11:31:23 pm

I agree with you because when wearing a mask out it truly starts to become draining and you have no way to express and be one with your true self.

G. Castaneda 2A

2/25/2023 05:51:15 am

People are too scared or worried to show their true emotions. People like when others are real and not fake, when people are fake it makes people think that they are hiding something. If people do not open up about their emotions then they might become depressed and sad.

Sanchez 5B

2/22/2023 09:08:06 pm

Miserable in life, but hiding it in public. Or an Empty marriage.Not daring to speak about anything that might be of substance. Just smile and avoid confrontation and feelings. Like the saying “put on a happy face”.

M Johnson 6B

2/23/2023 11:15:53 am

I agree with you because it shows them putting on a good act and hiding how they actually feel.

CScott 7B

2/23/2023 12:49:32 pm

i agree with you on this because seems to me it looks like he has so much too say a lot on his chest but he´s choosing no confrontation to avoid things escalating

R. Aponte 2A link

2/23/2023 02:40:55 pm

Individuals are living two separate lives. They are acting like everything is perfect, but in reality they're miserable. Avoiding their true emotions by faking it.

A. Green

2/24/2023 11:22:28 pm

This summed up my thoughts perfectly. They give off an "awkward and don't want to be around each other" vibe. You can see that in the way that the woman is turned away and the man looks miserable. It reminds me of 'saving face'.

eduardo maso 2a

2/22/2023 11:56:40 pm

the image represents what society does not see. We display this idea either towards somebody or social media that we may seem a certain emotion of sort but behind lies the truth. We can be sad but we are seen smiling. To summarize, the image is what others dont see of yourself.

B Wilkinson 6B

2/23/2023 10:01:01 am

I agree, some people are way different when at home.

X. McDonald 7B

2/24/2023 01:51:12 pm

I agree, people are just using the internet to make themselves seem like they are happy even when their sad.

Pina 7B

2/24/2023 10:06:30 pm

We build a barrier of our true emotions so people won’t know what it is you’re going through.

A. Green 3a

2/24/2023 11:26:22 pm

It is so hard to 'read people' because you never truly know what they're thinking about. Everyone at some point in their life will mask their emotions for either the benefit of others or themselves. That's why it's so hard to make genuine friends.

Khamari Caldwell 1A

2/23/2023 09:10:41 am

It means that people hide behind their true emotions. Everyone is putting up a front to make people believe differently about themselves. People actually don't talk to each other anymore when they are face to face. When people meet they rarely have conversations and don't really express their true selves to each other.

beatriz zumaya 1a

2/23/2023 01:00:31 pm

i agree with you because anyone can put on a mask and hide what they truly feel.

R. Aponte 2A link

2/23/2023 02:38:09 pm

People tend to hide themselves. They are pretending and acting differently from how they really feel. People don't express their true feelings.

C Valdez 6B

2/23/2023 10:30:31 pm

I agree that the image means that people hide their real emotions. People lie about themselves to make other people think the way they want about them. It happens in real life and the image is showing it even if it's exaggerated.

Jazrionna Givens 2A

2/24/2023 04:30:45 pm

I agree, this photo does clearly show how people can hide themselves and how they truly feel think and/or act.

B Wilkinson 6B

2/23/2023 10:00:18 am

This image shows how some couples can seem like they still have love for each other in their relationship. But deep down one person or both has lost feelings and are faking it to another person in the relationship. This image could also mean how people can be two faced and not be who they seem to be.

M Johnson 6B

2/23/2023 11:18:45 am

I agree because they aren't showing their true intentions.

M.Banks 6B

2/23/2023 12:58:19 pm

I like this comment because it pitches in to what I said about relationships failing and couples losing love for one another and also there is a big probability that they are being two-faced. It would teach other one could be cheating and one could be just losing feelings you never know.

G. Hernandez 3a

2/24/2023 08:59:53 pm

I agree and disagree, because it is true that they are faking their feelings towards each other, but not only couples act this way; friends, family members, teachers, etc. can act like that too.

M Johnson 6B

2/23/2023 11:11:27 am

In this image, I see two people that are acting two faced and not expressing how they really feel. This image could possibly be an example of a married couple that have been married or around each other more than their liking. The image shows a rise of boredom between the two.

R. Brown 3A

2/24/2023 09:45:24 pm

I have never thought of it like that possibly because marriage is the last thing on my mind. Your thought it could be true since why would they be at the table if they don't have some sort of relationship. We can't let go of the fact that they could just be friends, dating, or on a blind date.

ireuna 6B

2/23/2023 11:29:31 am

the reason i agree is because others might need the mask because they haven't been feeling their self you can go somewhere in act happy but you know deep down inside that you ain't looking at this picture showing they both doesn't like each other so they putting on a mask to not to hurt that person feelings.

CScott 7B

2/23/2023 12:45:46 pm

in the image i see these two who are probably significant others acting in two faces ways , one looks completely over it as if she has no interest in him but is probably leading him on. On the other hand he looks emotionally hurt as if he knows they are fading but he´s putting on a front that he´s completely unbothered by it.

beatriz zumaya 1a

2/23/2023 12:59:07 pm

i agree with you that is a good way to look at it.

v Taylor 6b

2/24/2023 07:50:44 pm

i agree with you. i think that you looked at it in a good way, also describing how some relationships are.

R. Brown 3A

2/24/2023 09:35:22 pm

In my personal opinion I feel like your response is wrong and you should look more into the image. When I look at it I see how most people are wearing masks to hide their true selves. Its not all about the two people, its about how they represent the masses.

M.Banks 6B

2/23/2023 12:55:52 pm

what I’ve analyze from the picture is two people who want to be in love but can’t because they’re not into each other anymore seems like what they have between each other is old and they have lost the spark between them so every day they wake up and put on the mask a or what some like to call it a front and act like they’re still interested in each other but truth be told they’ve lost communication between each other and don’t know how love one another again. Relationships are strange and exciting things full of emotional roller coasters and that’s why it’s always good to keep communication and trust in the relationship and always keep the relationship interesting because if you don’t you’ll lose the spike, you become less interested in your partner overtime and you find yourself acting like you’re happy which is problematically shown in the picture

beatriz zumaya 1a

2/23/2023 12:57:44 pm

Looking at this image you can see two people putting on a mask to cover there suffering. The mask is the opposite of what they are expressing on their face. I would think they use this mask to not show that they are hurting.

J Melgar 6B link

2/23/2023 05:57:12 pm

I completely agree. They seem to want to hide their true emotions/feelings, so they cover it up with the smiling mask, so that the other person doesn't have to possibly worry about them.

G. Ojeh 6.B

2/23/2023 08:56:19 pm

I concur fully. In order for the other person not to have to worry about them, they appear to be trying to mask their real emotions or feelings by smiling.

Kimberly Yanez 3a

2/24/2023 01:10:54 am

I like this comment because you are thinking not only about the picture, but about how they feel, and how it connects to real life. This is me think of how many people have to fake their physical expressions to not look sad.

Saniyah Joubert 7B

2/23/2023 02:23:07 pm

I see two people putting up fronts to keep the other around. I see him putting up a front to have a pretty girl, and her putting up a front to keep her maintenance up. The reason I say the is because, the man front is imitating a huge dude with money.

J Melgar 6B link

2/23/2023 05:52:30 pm

I agree with you. Seems to me that they are trying to be someone they're not. They're trying to suck up their differences and make their situation work out for both of them.

G.Ojeh B.6

2/23/2023 08:20:48 pm

People hide behind the reality while leading two lives. They attempt to be someone they aren't while hiding their true selves. Social media is also relevant because many users conceal behind their screens.

R. Aponte 2A link

2/23/2023 02:32:12 pm

Individuals are living two lives, and hide behind the truth. They cover up their true self, and they're trying to be someone they aren't. This also relates to social media because many people hide behind their screens.

E. Adame 2A

2/23/2023 04:14:46 pm

I agree with you when you say this relates to social media. Most times when having a page people put up what others may like or if something does really well we tend to keep up a trend. Yet if someone or something is better you suffer from negative thoughts and you wish to chase after something else which is farther from the true you.

v Taylor 6b

2/24/2023 07:53:11 pm

I agree with you because you are talking about a look into how the world can really be.

R Lynch 3A

2/24/2023 11:26:56 pm

I do agree that social media has a huge part to play. People compare themselves with social media influencers who have millions of dollars, which causes low self esteem and depression.

E. Adame 2A

2/23/2023 04:12:50 pm

In this picture, it shows two people who are hiding what they really feel and think, and I personally think this matches our generation. People tend to have a mask to fit a certain expectation they must meet because of the fear they have at the thought of rejection. They make these decisions because they want to be liked or do not want people to find out the truth. We sacrifice to be able to fit in and not feel alone, whether we suffer on the inside or not.

Pina 7B

2/24/2023 10:00:49 pm

Many people hid the truth to fit in and to be likable in some situations. We rather put up a front than to show who we truly are.

A Giles 2A

2/24/2023 10:28:38 pm

I completely agree with you there are many people who are struggling with who they are and how to act towards other people. People tend to put a face on to fit in.

c moore 6b

2/23/2023 05:16:14 pm

the pic shows how pepole can cover and hide a part of themself and put on a fake mask to not let anyone know a part where no one knows about and by doing it keeps them from who there really are deep down

J martinez 3a

2/24/2023 09:25:33 am

I agree they are scared to show there true selves . And or how they really feel about the other purpose .

Shamarian Samuels

2/24/2023 06:57:23 pm

i agree, people put on masks everyday they try to be what they think everyone would like. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

J Melgar 6B link

2/23/2023 05:45:10 pm

Looking at this image, I can see that they're just putting on an act. I say this because behind the mask you can see that they seem sad, upset, and annoyed with each other. Seems to me that, they are trying to be happy with each other, but in reality they are trying to hide their real emotions/feelings which are feeling apart from each other based on the image.

G. Ojeh B.6

2/23/2023 08:19:39 pm

What society does not see is represented by the picture. We portray the notion that, although we may appear to be experiencing a particular emotion toward someone or on social media, the reality is quite different. Although we can be melancholy, we often smile. To sum up, the picture is what you perceive of yourself that others do not.

C Valdez 6B

2/23/2023 10:23:11 pm

I agree the picture is portraying a real life example of what people do. Even when they aren't people make themselves look happy even when they aren't for others. The picture show how people hide their emotions.

C Valdez 6B

2/23/2023 10:11:58 pm

The image above shows two people sitting down holding up a mask to show each other that they look happy. They both have negative expressions underneath the mask and they don't want other people to see .The image shows how people can hide their real emotions from others and its an example of people doing it in the real world.

m.santos 7b

2/23/2023 11:48:59 pm

This image represents the meaning fake it till you make it. They put on the masks to hide how they truely feel and they cover it so nobody can notice.This image can be related to society right now by how everyone feels like they are just pretending like they know what they are doing but in reality they dont have a single clue.

R Lynch 3A

2/24/2023 11:24:50 pm

I agree with your first point up until you said "they are just pretending like they know what they are doing[...]" It isn't a matter of people not knowing what they're doing, it's simply just people trying to cover scars with a smile.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

2/24/2023 12:56:40 am

I think the creator or artist intended to show miserable people "masking" to keep up with appearances because to them at the end of the day that's what matters most. Not how they feel, but how they look. These people would rather convince everyone around them that they are happy than show their true emotions. And i think they're showing an example of how most people in our society act.

Kimberly Yanez 3a

2/24/2023 01:08:57 am

This photo can have different meanings behind it, and many people may see it differently. As the creator of the picture may have one in peoples minds to open it’s all just based on the person. My views on this is seeing two different emotions on how they really feel in the masks being their physical appearance on how they look like on the outside. In a lot of peoples situation people have to go through this every day when they don’t feel, when they’re at work, at school or even at home. Some os us have a hard time to show our real emotions and what people actually see on the outside isn’t what we are really feeling.

F Maltos 3A

2/24/2023 07:33:53 pm

I can agree with you because it is true that we are faking our real emotions on the outside. So many people fake their emotions on a daily basis and it is just hurting theirselves. Which is time to stop faking how we feel from the outside and show how we really feel on the inside.

A Giles 2A

2/24/2023 10:32:16 pm

I have the same idea as you. There are a lot of people are put a happy face on and people don’t know what’s going on on the inside while some people could be acting sad for attention.

K Sheffield 2A

2/24/2023 09:02:03 am

What i see in this image is 2 people hiding their true emotions and feelings to each other. I feel like their putting on a act to show that they're truly happy but deep down they miserable and sad.

K Lake 3A

2/24/2023 10:05:11 am

Yeah, like fronts even. But, I do feel like that could be detrimental in way because the person wouldn't know how we feel because we were not being straight up with them in the first place.

Leonardo 1A

2/24/2023 09:05:35 am

I think this picture is supposed to represent how people (mostly couples), always hide their feelings towards each other. I myself have been through this back when I was dating my ex, she had the tendency to hide her feelings whenever she was going through something bad. So really, this represents how we may hide our true feelings to certain things by disguising them with something more positive.

J martinez 3a

2/24/2023 09:24:37 am

i agree because when they hide there real feelings they just end up hurting them selves . And alot of people do this so they wont have to start over with anyone else .

K Lake 3A

2/24/2023 10:06:29 am

I don't think it got anything to do with the couples really, just people hiding how they really feel regarding emotion, but can see how you came to that conclusion.

Nox (katelyn) Sears 2A

2/24/2023 11:57:02 am

I'm gonna be honest when I'm going through something rough I always act like everything is okay around my boyfriend, because I always feel like a burden with all the stress and issues that go on in my life. Everyday something goes wrong and I hate to feel like a burden, but he will push out my feeling to get me to explain that there is something wrong.

Shamarian Samuels

2/24/2023 06:56:08 pm

i agree , majority of the time people aren't bold enough to tell you how they really feel so they start showing it in their actions.

J Maritnez 3a

2/24/2023 09:21:45 am

This picture is showing 2 people faking who they are really are and how they really feel . Even though they feel the same way it shows how without communcation yall are both getting hurt longer . They both dont feel the same way anymore but since one is faking it like they wanna be there the other one thinks they have to ,

G Hernandez 3a

2/24/2023 08:53:10 pm

I agree, they’re doing more harm than good to be honest. And if they don’t feel the same way, then they shouldn’t pretend to be happy with each other.

Kaydin Lake 3A

2/24/2023 10:02:27 am

In the picture, I see people putting on a front , to hide their true feelings from people. Like, the man on the right is putting on a front of happiness, but deep down he's sad. And, the woman on the left is putting on a front by smiling, but deep down seems to be an arrogant and judgmental person. Many of us put on fronts around other people to hide how we truly feel about a situation, rather than being real with the person, making us even seem like we're "two-faced" sometimes.

Makyia Lyons 5B link

2/24/2023 11:24:27 am

I agree with you because in the picture he looks happy with the mask but behind the mask deep down he is sad and heartbroken. The women looks happy with the mask but behind the mask you could tell she don't like him and she is a judgmental person.

In this generation people are so fake. Either because they are afraid to be who they are or to be arrogant and rude. It makes the people we see on a daily basis hard to trust. Which is why a lot of us now have trust issues.

In this picture it shows people will hide their identities and try to hide their emotions. In the image behind the mask you can see their true feelings they look sad or disgusted by each other. They are trying to pretend like they're happy with each other when in reality they really are not.

This picture describes what people can be. Just because you can put on a face doesn't mean that's who you are truly. This picture doesn't mean just people being fake to eachother it is explaining that you dont know what people are going through just because of their facial expresions.

Yes, I agree anyone can put on a face for the world to see, and deep down they could have bad intentions, and no one would ever know. But we don't know that though because were so quick to judge what's on the outside and not getting to know what's really on the inside of a person.

This picture shows people having masks in front of their face, but that's just what it is showing not what it means. People these days fake a smile or fake who they are to please the people around them. They don't show who they truly are. People mask their emotions to hide their feelings. They don't want anyone to worry or anyone to hate them just because of who they really are.

The picture makes me see how people just "put on a face" and go about their day. So many people hide their emotions and are too afraid to speak about how they are feeling. Some people have "Two faced" on how people describe them as people can see if you are showing your true emotions. For example you can ask someone if they are okay, they might say yes but really they have something else going on in their lives.

This picture makes me think that it has something to do with the internet. The internet allows people to paint this fake image of themselves and make themselves seem good when they're bad or make themselves seem happy when they are sad. You see the guy on the right doesn't look happy but the mask has a smile.

This picture makes me think of how we try to disguise ourselves as something we are not. This picture is also relevant to today's world because it tells the story of how some hide behind screens or the things they think will please others just to be acknowledged.

I agree, we as people try to be people who we are not when it comes to meeting others. We hide and try our best to keep it as it is so that we can make a good impression. Not knowing what to do while trying to look good for people.

it shows two people who are hiding what they really feel and think, and I personally think this is the society that we live in today. People tend to have a mask to fit a certain expectations they must meet because of what others might think when thery're being their true self

The image above represents a man and a woman in a relationship but deep down inside they are tired and unhappy together. The mask represents how they act on the outside which shows that there happy with each other and their faking love. Overall, it is trying to say how a person really feels on the inside and fake their feelings and emotions on the outside.

J blackmon 2A

2/24/2023 07:46:14 pm

I see two people who are faking there true feelings to each other.Maybe they don't feel how they felt before and are too scared to say how they really feel.These two shouldn't lie about how they feel especially if they're in a relationship.

G. Castaneda 2A

If you are in a relationship, you should be able to express your true emotions. People need to just step up if something is bothering them, not to someone else they should open up to that person no matter what the situation is. Faking the emotions that you have does not have an advantage to you at all so you should just tell whoever you have a problem with what's up and what needs to happen.

A. Hernandez 5B

2/26/2023 05:31:41 pm

I agree, because in a relationship you should show your true emotions and not hide them. When you express your true emotions you can solve them before it turns into a problem. Not shoeing your true emotions can lead to problems because that person doesnt know how you feel and if he doesnt know how you feel he cant fix it.

I think this picture is shows that people can hide how they truly feel and just cover it up by faking their feelings. or it could also be showing that people can be two-faced sometimes. not showing who they really are.

M Johnson 5B

2/24/2023 10:43:48 pm

I agree, these people don't show who they really are. They hide from showing who and what they really are. This causes problems for both people.

This image represents how sad people really could be in a relationship but they have to put on a mask for their children or family. A lot of people put up front because they are too afraid of being judge by the people they love or theyre not ready to talk about what ever it is that theyre hiding. its easier to put on mask than speak up on how you feel because one day that " mask " your putting on is no longer a mask anymore.

This image shows how people pretend to be someone they are not. We live in a society where we only show our best version of ourselves, and that creates frustration in our lives. However, most people are used to dealing with their emotions and problems alone since they don’t have anyone to rely on.

D Sparks 1A

2/25/2023 12:03:25 am

I do believe that is where most of our frustration as humans come from, trying to keep up an image. Keeping up an image, aka “a mask” can began to get tiring for people.

R. Brown 3A

The picture represents how some people are fake. Nowadays people hide how they actually feel around others. For some unknown reason people feel better suffering in a relationship rather than breaking it up and finding someone else.

C. Torres 1A

2/24/2023 10:30:29 pm

I agree with what you say because often people just can’t come to terms with what is wrong and pretend that everything is alright. They pretend they are happy because they are afraid of confrontation. They also put on a mask because they don’t want to hurt the other persons feelings.

A. Hernandez 5B

2/26/2023 05:28:56 pm

I agree, because people now days can be fake towards each other to no reveal how they really feel about that person. People hid there true feelings about people when they are scared to express them to that person. People also act fake towards other people because they are scared it might cause a problem.

This image represents how people put up a front to hide who they are and their true self. The image shows how the women and the man really feel behind the mask.They set up an image to cover up their truths and their emotions. This generation tends to hide how they feel or their beliefs but most do it to avoid rejection and to please people.

I agree if you are in a relationship you should tell your feelings to your partner. If you don't feel a certain way about your partner tell them how you feel. I feel like if you don't tell your partner how you feel you will not be happy in your relationship.

This picture represents how people were a “mask” when talking to others. They are hiding their true identity because they’re either antisocial or scared. Also this looks like a couple and they don’t enjoy being together so they wear a “mask”.

C. Torres 1A

2/24/2023 10:28:12 pm

I agree with what you say because people are not confident in who they are. Most likely because they are scared the other person will not like them for who they are.

C. Torres 1A

2/24/2023 10:27:11 pm

I believe the image above is representing the idea of being fake in order to get with another person. Since they are holding up a smiling mask they are both miserable on the inside. This is because they believe the other person will not like them for who they are. They show a mask because that’s what they believe will win over the other person.

Desiree Ware 3A

2/24/2023 10:45:10 pm

Yes, I agree they both look miserable they're just dragging it on and putting on this fake persona to please one another.

Riana Thomas 5b

2/24/2023 11:50:32 pm

I agree some people cover up their real emotions on how they feel about something or someone. It's good to express your emotions and tell somebody how you feel. If you don't express your feelings it's going to feel like weights are on your shoulder and you are going to have a lot of stress on you.

M Johnson 5B

People create this mask when they're around others. They build up these walls so that people don't see who they really are. They could also create a fake facade

Desiree Ware 3A

2/24/2023 10:44:10 pm

This picture means to me people putting up a front and because of that like the picture shows we use a "mask". Many people put on a front for many reasons whether it's to please people or hide what they're truly feeling. In today society the two big issues that are present now in putting up a front is young people getting into a relationship and putting on a front just to lead that person on just for "fun". Another issue is hiding how you truly feel deep down inside. Not telling people how you feel because you feel like it's going to be too much on them and because of that we end up bottling our feelings and putting on a front, which most likely leads to suicide. The point is don't put on a facade to hide how you feel.

A. Green 3a

A lot of people tend to hide their real emotions with a smile. Some do it to be deceitful, like the girl on the left who thinks she is better than the man that I presume she is on a date with. There are also people who try to feign confidence with a smile like the man on the right. The man on the right is wearing baggy street clothes and doesn't look like he has a lot of money. Where as the girl is dressed nicely, which is why she thinks she's better than him.

R Lynch 3A

The image is describing how people tend to create "alter egos" or "masks" to hide their true emotions. Since people are social in nature, it is only natural that we want to show the best version of ourselves towards other people. This usually means neglecting how you truly feel to fit people's expectations of you.

R.Beck

I see a couple giving off to fake facial expressions showing off their enjoyment and excitement. When in reality they are both unhappy. This means that even though we may be feeling some kind of way we tend to hide it from the people we love the most.

D Sparks 1A

2/25/2023 12:01:24 am

I can see this picture resembling an unhappy couple. This meaning you shared with us could easily be tied with the picture.

Riana Thomas 5b

This picture represents how people can be two faced. Some people can be so happy about what they agreed on doing and end up being fake. For example, friends can be two faced. They can be all buddy buddy in your face then turn around and talk about you behind your back.

D Sparks 1A

2/24/2023 11:59:58 pm

This picture represents a lot of what goes on on social media. People could throw a mask on and be someone they’re not to fool somebody else. The girl on the left also symbolizes one out of two types of people, one that enjoys putting on a mask versus the ones that don’t.

I agree not all you see in social media its really there true emotions.It is hard to detect people when they have problems in there life because we are used to keep to our self and make use bring out our fake emotions to protect our real ones

D. Montgomery 6B

This image above represents the masks we wear everyday. The human population tends to be greedy and untrustworthy. People put on this mask to hid their true intentions behind their action whether it be to protect themselves or to achieve a goal.

A. Hernandez 5B

2/26/2023 05:25:32 pm

Two different people showing there emotions towards each other. I think they are trying to express there true feelings and not hide them. I also feel like they are afraid to show there true selves.

Erik Ramos 5B

In the image I see two people showing two different emotions and the mask represents their fake emotions. It means not every emotion people show or interact it really there intention.
