Loyalty

Definition:

 Faithfulness or devotion to something/someone

Reasons for it's existence:

-Without loyalty, it would be much harder for there to be peace in the world. People could turn on each other at any time.

-It helps create better relationships between people

Ways to get it:

-From others

-If you are loyal to someone or something, chances are, you will get loyalty from in return

Ways to maintain it:

-If you stay loyal to others, they will be loyal in return

-Don't do anything that would betray another's trust. That would encourage them to no longer be loyal to you.

Ways to lose it:

-Betraying another's trust. That would encourage them to no longer be loyal to you.

How it affects people:

-Being loyal to others makes them feel they can trust with you and therefore form a better relationship with you.

-It makes people feel more comfortable. As if they are not alone, and that there is always someone that could help them in their time of need.

Extra:

Loyalty can happen between people, people and animals, even people and something like a certain product. (Ex: a loyal customer)

How it connects to other terms:

-Loyalty is connected to Self-worth, in the way that if many people are loyal to you, it makes you feel as if you have a better self-worth. If you had no self-worth, others would feel that they should be loyal to someone who feels better about themselves.

-Loyalty is connected to Ambition, in the way that, when you are trying to fulfill a dream with the ambition that you have, it makes it easier to fulfill that dream when you know that you're not alone and you have others who are loyal to you.

-Loyalty is also connected to Humanity. The human race would be much colder and crueler without loyalty. Survival would basically be "one man for themselves".

Summative Identity Assignment

Changes in Identity through People's Relationships with Others 

Everyone you know has been changed because of your relationship with them. People, whether they like it or not, will always have their identity slightly transformed through their relationships with others. These transformations can be positive, and help the person’s growth, or they could be negative, and hinder their growth. A lack of relationships with other people can also transform people. These transformations happen to everyone, including myself. All this is seen in the short stories Brother Dear by Bernice Friesen, Just Lather, That’s All by Hernando Tellez, and The Charmer by Budge Wilson. Also in the poems Richard Cory by EA Robinson, Alone by Maya Angelou, and lastly Langston Hughs’ As I grew older.

            Since these transformations are made through people’s relationships with others, they can sometimes be negative transformations. For example, in Just Lather That’s All, the main character was just a simple barber, but Captain Torres’ entry influenced the barber’s thoughts to the point where he almost became a murderer! In the poem As I grew Older, racism was a very negative aspect in this woman’s life. It went even as far as to describe it as “a wall that rose, rose slowly, slowly, between me and my dream” lines 8-11. Obviously if racism was stopping her from achieving her dream, it was hindering her growth. Fortunately, in the end it had made her stronger so in the long run, she was able to achieve her dream. Another short story containing negative influences was The Charmer. In this story, it was the main girl’s daughter’s, blood-relation to the Charmer that transformed her identity. She became just like him, and had she never been related to the Charmer, she would never have had the same negative behaviour. While some people will be slightly transformed in negative ways through their relationships with others, a lack of relationships can also transform people.

            Having no relationship or connection to someone else can encourage transformations in people’s identities. In the poem Alone, it states “The race of man is suffering and I can hear the moan, ‘cause nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone.” Lines 30-34. The race of man is suffering only because there is a lack of relationships with others and so they are alone. If they had more relationships they wouldn’t be suffering. In the poem Richard Cory, Richard is good-looking and wealthy. While everyone was jealous of him and thought he must be happy, he ended up killing himself just because he had no one to relate to and was alone. In The Charmer, had there been a different relationship between the Charmer and his parents, it would have made him a better person. The lack of that parental-like relationship hindered his growth. Transformations of identity through relationships with other people happen to everyone, including myself.

            There are several ways that these stories and poems connect to my life. I have a similar situation to the narrator in the Charmer, where my little sister can get away with everything. This short story, however, has left me feeling educated, in the way that I will follow in the footsteps of the narrator, and not let my own child behave the way my sister can. I can also personally connect to Brother Dear, in the way that my older brother, like Greg, has chosen his own path even though it differs from our father’s ideas for us. This story left me feeling empowered, and made me believe I can choose what I want to do in my life like Sharlene, when she decided she would run away from home. “I guess I’d like to run away, too. Someday I will- to Europe”. Lastly I can definitely relate to the poem Alone. “Nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone.” One of my greatest fears is being alone, and so I now feel more determined than ever to remember to keep my values in order. While money may be nice, there’s nothing more important than keeping my friends and family first.

            Transformations are made in people’s identities by relationships with others. Sometimes these transformations are positive, other times they are negative. It’s even occasionally the lack of relationships that transforms identities. Most of the time it’s not even realized, but people are transformed through their relationships with others every day.

Essential Question for Just Lather, That's All

EQ: What does it mean to be an insider or an outsider?

Being an "insider" or "outsider" can mean many different things. For one, it's two separate groups that have differences that make them, in this case, enemies. In the short story Just Lather, That's All, being an insider or outsider is essential to your safety. The barber, an outsider, is a rebel always at risk of being executed. The soldier, an insider who sentences these rebels to be executed, walks into his barber shop and simply asks for a shave. The barber then has to decide whether or not he should kill him. While they are enemies, the barber cannot kill the soldier. The soldier, however, has killed many men, and has planned on killing more that very evening. That would be a big difference between insiders and outsiders in this story. To be an insider or an outsider is differences in your beliefs, morals, values, and more.

Connection to Sharlene's identity

Bernice Friesen has created an identity of a character that I am able to connect with. This character is Sharlene. I can connect with her in the way that, like Greg, my older brother is wanting to turn away from the direction our father is steering us in. While my brother doesn't want to drop out of school, (he wants to go to film school) my dad wants him to continue in the same field of work that he's in right now. I hope my brother decides to be like Greg and choose his own path, while I also want to go into the same field as my brother. Like Sharlene, I'll consider choosing my own path instead of letting my dad choose for me.
