Micro-Assignment 3

Identity and Objects

In the unfortunate event that my house were to burn down, the following 5 items are the most likely candidates that I would attempt to save:

1) My computer

Very rarely does a day go by when I don't get on my computer. Being a college student, it has become a staple item helping to hold my life together. Even though most of the stuff on it is backed up elsewhere, I would still hate to lose it since i've put some much time into it, and spend so much time on it.

Words: Memories

2) My wallet

I would choose to save my wallet because it would probably be the most urgent item I would have to replace if I lost it. My money, credit cards, and ID alone are important enough and would be difficult enough to replace, but if I didn't have any other stuff and also didn't have those, i'd be in serious trouble.

Words: Security

3) My passport

Although I probably won't need it, it was a real pain to get in the first place, so i'd rather just not go through that again. 

Words: Convenience

4) My car keys:

If I already have my wallet and computer this wouldn't be as bad, but I feel like if i've lost everything else I would like to have my car keys so that I can get around to the many places I will now inevitably  need to go.

Words: Reliability

5) My black suit

While I likely won't need this, if I'm only going to own four other items, I might as well be able to walk around in style so that I don't look like the homeless but that I now am.

Words: Identity

I think that this final image shows my identity pretty well. I don't really have a lot of very sentimental items or objects, so if I were to have my worldly possessions stripped down to a bare minimum, I would generally prefer to have these few items above which would help me to keep my life functioning as normally as possible. I think the above items don't really show a lot about me as a person. They demonstrate the importance I place on keeping my life organized and in order, but they don't really show much about my personality or anything like that, at least not without maybe a little more explanation.
