Describe your experiences wearing masks.
One experience that I had wearing a mask was when I was young I really loved to play army and so one day when I was playing army I put on an army helmet and painted my face with green and brown paint. When playing army most of the time I would go on these adventures all by myself, but other times I would get my friends to come and play with me. I think playing army as a kid is one reason why I revere our troops so much.
Why did you choose a certain mask?
The reason why I chose this certain mask was first because of my love at an early age for the military and also because of what I saw army men depicted as in real life influenced the make up of my mask.
How did you feel wearing it?
The way I felt wearing the mask would be described as powerful, patriotic, invincible, and courageous. I felt this way because I imagined myself being like some of my heroes and having the honor and pride that comes when serving our country in this way.
How did others respond to you when you wore it?
When others saw me, like my mom, they responded with amusement that here was another little boy playing army with sticks for guns. My friends would respond to me like we were actually in the army and I was leading them into battle. We were on a mission to save someone or do something heroic.
How did you behave to assume the mask's identity?
The way that I behaved to assume the identity of the mask was to act tough and be brave. In my make believe world with my friends there was nothing that could stop me from reaching my objective and I would go through any danger to see it through. I also acted like I had a big ego because I was apart of the army.
