Basic Acting - My Everyday Roles

There are many roles that I play, or at least attempt to play, in my everyday life. This makes it more difficult to choose only five roles to describe. However, I feel like my roles as a daughter, a sister, a friend, a student, and "a shoulder to cry on" are the roles that I find myself playing on the most constant basis.

My role as a daughter is very different from all of my other roles. My typical costume is anything that my dad would find appropriate (a.k.a. anything that doesn't show my stomach, or too much of any other body part). My language is definitely censored in comparison to the manner in which I talk to my friends and my southern accent becomes a lot stronger because both of my parents have strong accents. I always walk with my back straight so that I don't get the "good posture" lecture from my dad. The environment is simply anywhere that I am with my parents whether it be on the farm, church, at the beach, or just inside the house. My time spent in this role has decreased significantly from when I was in high school. I used to spend the majority of everyday in this role but now I only fully take on this role when I see them on breaks. The adjectives that I would associate with this role are good, obedient, respectful, and sweet. The role of a daughter is definitely one of my favorite roles. I respect my parents so much that I feel honored that I get to learn and develop from their examples. I am only expected to do my best and be a good, honest person when I am playing this role.

    Firstly, I have had to distinguish and appreciate the different social roles that are there. This includes the bio-social roles, the cultural roles, gender roles and situational roles (Merton, 1957). By being able to fulfill each type of role differently and effectively, I am able to reduce role stress significantly. Secondly, I have had to prioritize roles, knowing the difference between urgent and important so that role stress is well managed. In light of the fact that different types of roles have a competitive nature, prioritizing on roles has been helpful in managing role stress as it is possible to navigate on the difficult path of fulfilling

  • Critical Analysis Of This I A In Only Daughter By Sandra Cisneros

    1231 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to write about Only Daughter by Sandra Cisneros because I am the only daughter of three children. Therefore, I can relate to this essay because I constantly strive to make my father proud in everything that I do, along with feeling as though I am alone and not understood by my family. My father is constantly in the back of my mind so whatever I do revolves around how I know he would feel about it. Due to this I am more studious when it comes to my education because I know that he will be more supportive the better that I do. Without my dad I would not have come this far in what I have accomplished because I would not have had to prove myself to anyone. Being the first born and the only girl, my parents and family many times do not know how to handle how I feel or what I enjoy because I am more studious out of my entire family. Because of this I

  • Acting: The Art of Becoming All Characters Inside One Body

    According to “The Art of the Actor: The Essential History of Acting, from Classical Times to the Present Day” by Jean Benedetti, “Acting is a way of showing our understanding of the world and passing it on to other people” (1). Such affirmation has proven itself to be true if history is taken into consideration. One of the oldest forms of art and career throughout history, acting has established itself as one of the most prominent and yet unstable careers of all times. Its vast history provides anyone who dares to become an actor with a great understanding of the different societies throughout the years and profound meaning to why, despite all adversities, it is still one of the most wanted careers. More than only a job, and differently from many work fields, acting is about passion and the ability to transmit reality within fantasy. But why acting? Because it is a career related to every other existing one; and being successful in it requires more than what one would think.

    Mothers and daughters have been written about, criticized, publicized, condemned, and praised for a long time. As more and more material becomes available on mother-daughter relationships, it becomes apparent that being a mother and being a daughter means different things to different people depending on race, economics, social status and blood type. This paper will explore the meaning of being a mother and being a daughter by combining all of these independent variables. A definition of motherhood and daughterhood will be clearer, however, as experience will tell us, not everyone can be categorized, or even explained.

  • Gender And Family Structure, And The Effect Of Culture On The Quality Of Family Interactions

    Gender and family roles play an important part in identity formation. An individual’s perception of family roles and occupations, which are both influenced by gender, can affect the development of her identity (Farkas and Leaper 2015: 221). The research participants in this study expressed little concern about their roles in the family but when it came to gender roles, they show some deviance. This shows that family plays a signficant role in individuals maintaining roles and expectations that benefit the family. The interviewees, all daughters in this case, are expected to be loyal to the family. Amanda expressed that she pressured herself

    In my first years of life, I was the diva. I was the star. I was the only one that my mother ever paid any attention to. I was the bomb. Although my father worked very long days to provide my mother and me with a means of sustenance, there was plenty of love from my mom to nurture me as I grew into a bubbly young girl. Entering kindergarten at 4 years of age, I was similar to every other little kid. I was rambunctious, playful, naughty, and unstoppable. If I did not fall sleep in class, I would play with my dolls as the teacher lectured. Sure enough, I was reprimanded and given “time out” every time. But it was all right. My grades were average but I scored high enough to please my parents.

    For this final role play I felt very confident in my ability to have a successful conversation. Looking back to my very first experience, I can see where I have grown, and where I still need to improve. I was surprised from the very beginning to see how easy it was to stay in character when I was acting out something I was experiencing in my everyday life. After going through a couple of these I felt I could deal with the actual problem in my life without it going wrong. I do not think that I will be quite as assertive in real life, as I was in my role play, but I still think I gave me a good place to start.

During early childhood, I would be in bed by the time he arrived home from work, so I would rarely see him. He did not get involved with my schoolwork and would rarely show up to piano recitals or swim meets. The few times he did show up, he would ridicule me and tell me I should have done better.
