Time Capsules

For this week I've been asked a tough question:

if you could only pick four things to represent your family, heritage, accomplishments and put them in a time capsule, what would they be?

Tough question, but here's my answer.

Family/ Childhood
I've lived my whole life in California, so I would have to include the California flag.

To represent my family, there isn't much that I can do, so I would probably make a small family with my grandparents, parents, and myself. I would also include a family photo with that

Culture/ Heritage
To represent my culture/heritage, I would put a Jewish star or a Jewish flag. It's a big part of my life. I'm not sure what where I would be without it

Accomplishments/ Achievements
To talk about the accomplishments and achievements in my life, the first thing that pops into my head was my Bar Mitzvah. It took a little over a year to prepare for it, and it was totally worth it.

Legacy

Since I'm still young, I'm not sure what legacy I want to be left behind. But I do know I want to be remembered by my friends and family

Until next time! Let me know what you think!

What would you put in a time capsule?

Identity and Symbols

This week the question I have been asked to answer one motif that I can relate to in "The Glory Field. A motif is a repeating concept, term, item, symbol, or allusion that deepens the message of the story.

In this story, the family gets together to have large family reunions and eat. I can relate to this because when I have a very big family gathering, we always have a large meal.

Nobody leaves with an empty stomach. This might not be the same situations with the characters in this book, but one motif in my life can definitely be food.

Until next time!
