Personification

When we got back from Japanese we were told to sit out on the veranda outside, and outside laid a big piece of paper. At first, it was confusing as to why to there was paper there, but then our teacher came out with a can of shaving gel.

She told us to pass it around and think of what the can made you feel when you first held it.

At first, I felt joyful and free and canny (Can puns???)

Then she told us one by one to spray the shaving gel onto the paper and to stick how much we were hurt by others.

when I did this I felt nothing.

Then we sat down, and she then last of all told us to hand it around again and tell her what we felt like after the can was empty.

I now felt Empty and alone. Afraid of what might come. but it still somehow felt heavy but it was unnoticeable.

what was your experience of this activity?

to understand the people who are lonely but don't want to show it by spraying their pain away onto a piece of paper to make it feel better.

what did you learn?

I learnt that even a single can, can make you show feelings?

just by feeling it..
