Identity in "Mrs. Turner's Lawn Jockeys", "Live For Today" and Lion

We will discuss identity and how we become who we are in "Mrs. Turner's Lawn Jockeys", "Live For Today" and Lion.  We will see different characters and explore how they constructed their identity. Setting also plays a major role in these stories. We will look at how that effects these characters as well.

This link below has a wide variety of articles on how we construct identity.
