The Importance of Individuals

The Importance of Individuals

Which of the "Two Boys Kissing" Boys are You Most Like?

Are you more like Craig and Henry who defiantly broke social norms? Are you more like Peter and Neil who sought to find a deeper sense of security in their lives? Are you more like Avery or Ryan who faced challenges to their love and dealt with it in their own ways? Or, could you be more like Cooper who felt lost and alone in the confusion of life?

In class we discussed how the story would feel incomplete as a whole without each individual character and their story.

Each character played an essential role in the story through their unique personality and set of circumstances. Without any one of the individuals, the story would not feel complete. Although the majority of the stories came in pairs and included a couple side characters, each individual had their own unique personality, support system, set of beliefs, comfort level, and amount of self-acceptance. Each of these sets of circumstances allowed for a diverse look into what it is like to grow up in the LGBTQ community in the generation of the internet. If we were missing even one of these characters, we would not get as full of an understanding of how not only ourselves, but our situations affect how we feel about certain things such as being gay.

What part would you play?
