Transcript: Presentation - ISTPGUAA Individualism Card Game Claim Thesis/Claim The overarching theme of individualism connects all the texts read this year, as all main characters travel on a personal journey to discover their true selves. Subtopics Subtopics Psychological Lens Return to Nature Privilege Methaphor for Oppression Racial Lens Psychological Psychological Lens as a Whole Psychological Lens relates to the altering of the way the main characters view situations. This contributes to who they are as a person and how it relates to their individualism. Allie Allie Experiencing trauma at such a young age with somebody so close to him impacted Holden severely in CITR. This depression and death related to Allie sticks with Holden for the rest of his life. The psychological lens relates to Holden's indivualism in the sense that he does not want to be like the other “phonies” of Pency Prep and the world in general. Because of this, he acts more “himself”/ more individual. He wants to have his own identity rather than just be fake like everyone else. Allie also shaped how he views other people, the world, and himself.

"You got to go there to know there." Privilege How Privilege Relates to Individualism People/groups with different privileges are viewed as different individuals in society and are perceived in a different way than others. Privilege also has a direct effect on what these people are available of accomplishing in their lives or what makes them unique. John & Elizabeth Proctor Privileged Both of the Proctors come from a position of privilege and are higher up in society. Their social ranking plays into who they are and individualism since they are looked at as part of an upper class and treated differently in society because of it. Privilege affected the plot of the play because of the characters' individualism. Not Privileged THE OPPRESSED: The Proles A Raisin in the Sun HOMS - "Getting out" & "Those Who Don't" These characters and texts are unprivileged or portray unprivileged characters. This relates to metaphor of oppression and what makes them unique in their societies, as well. Metapor for Oppression and Racial Lens Texts/Characters Involved Allegory of the Cave The Proles Any Quote from 1984 - "2 + 2 = 5" (Orwell 377) "Getting Out" (HOMS) Text from Freshman Year - A Raisin in the Sun "Those who Don't" (HOMS) Marin (HOMS) Oppression Allegory of the Cave The knowledge that the puppet master gives the chained people in the cave is all they know.
