Javier Quinonez Professor Ribar English Composition August 29, 2013 The Basis of Your Identity Throughout the reading of finding ones identity the base of one?s true identity was questioned. The ways of an individual finding their identity was debated, and compared, with three methods, something a person is born with, influenced by culture, or expressed through the individual in the way they expose themselves to the world. Individuals cannot derive the basis of their identity from birth as it is impossible to cultivate ones identity without time and exposure. Without the tools of exposure and time individuals would not be able to differentiate themselves from each other and lose the ability to have their own true identities.

Deors lament Weyland was a strong man, and he was used to suffering, longing, and "wintry exile." One time, a lesser man, Nithhad, captured him and bound him with tendons. However, Weland overcame that particular hardship, and the narrator will also be able to overcome his struggles. Beadohild had also experienced sorrow in her life, especially when her brothers died. However, she experienced an even higher level of distress when she found out that she was pregnant. She knew that nothing good could come out of that situation. However, Beadohild surmounted this obstacle, and the narrator believes that he can do the same.
