We started off this class by finding connections of our metaphors with each other. To make this easier we drew a mind map. We wrote our metaphors and then wrote words that were associated with those metaphors. We took different words that described our metaphors and tried to find out how they were linked to each other.
I noticed that since all the metaphors were related to our lives and behaviours, it wasn’t very difficult to find the links. I found roughly twenty links of words that were related to different metaphors.
We did this exercise to find links between our metaphors which helped us to make our final models. By doing this we even figured out which of our qualities were more dominant than others and how they were all inter-related.
After this we had to club all our models and make our final models keeping in mind the links.
THE REAL ME.
I started with the bee hive which is supporting the other three models which is the colour white, the elephant and the amoeba because it is strong(a bee hive is strong because if attacked, it can harm us severely). The colour white is put at an angle rising upwards from all the negativity, the amoeba being free flowing and flexible is pierced through the beehive. The ball and hulahoop are connected because it gives me happiness and I feel excited. The pillar and the web is connected and also the pillar gives support to the hulahoop, web and the ball. At the same time the hulahoop is connected to the elephant. The pen refill is at the top which is one of my qualities that I’m very proud of(the quality of letting go). The coin shows two sides that is our behavioural traits that come from our mind and then there are some that come from our heart so the coin is in the middle which is dividing both of these traits. Traits that come from my mind are the colour white, bee hive, elephant and amoeba and traits that come from my heart are pen refill, ball, hulahoop, web and pillar.
