Identity, Marcus Anderson Post 25

In Caucasia, Birdie struggles with her identity. In the beginning the book Birdie identifies herself with Cole. Throughout the novel, Birdie associates herself with different racial identities. I believe that this is due to the society in which she lived in. Many people even in our society today get 'lost' due to the expectations and standards that society sets for us. I dislike that our society is like this, but it is what it is. Many people dont even really know who they are as people because they are too busy trying to fit in with the majority. Identity is a very personal important thing to have because it shapes us into the people that we are. The beauty of it is that everyone identity is different if we really seek for our true selves.
