The Lighthouse

Today I watched a short film about a lighthouse and its keeper.  After I had watched the video we were given questions. Here is the link to the video.

Has there been a time when you wanted to away from other people? Why did you feel like that?

I like to think of myself as a very calm individual and I do not get angry that many times or ever.  I get angry if I keep getting annoyed.  Like a cup of water if you keep filling the cup it will eventually overflow.  So if someone keeps annoying me my anger will keep building and eventually put me in an unsettling mood.  When I get put into this type of anger I want to be isolated from the people around so I can calm down.

Why do people want to be alone? Are they happy?

People want to be alone for a different range of reasons.  They may want to be alone because Reflecting, calming down, me time and so much more.  They can happy it really depends on their mood or the reason they want to be alone.  They could be happy to be alone to just appreciate things or they could be sad by being depressed.

What happened in his past that made him dislike bringing people around? Why does he live alone at the Lighthouse? How does he feel?  Create a backstory for the Lighthouse Keeper

It may not seem like it but John (The lighthouse keeper)  was once a social person.  He enjoyed the people around him.  He always thought of it as Him and his daughter against the world.  He was like this until his daughter got sick.  Her daughter was diagnosed with Humanity Diclosure Syndrome (Made up)  this is when she can't be around people.  People had been coming and visiting her in the hospital but little did they know that it really is making it worse.    But he didn't know about this until it was too late.  Once he had found out about this he was angry with everyone and blamed them for his daughter's death.  He then isolated himself from everyone.  So he permanently moved into the lighthouse to be away from everyone and to forever grieving over his daughter's death.

  1. Awesome job Lasa. I love how you are able to recognise and identify your own emotions. This post shows that you have empathy for others, which is a great skill to have. Have you learnt about people being introverts or extroverts?

    1. Just did a little research I think that the difference is that one is out going and one likes to be independent. Correct me if I am wrong but is that what your asked. Anyways thank you for commenting on my blog most appreciated.

  2. Hi Lasa. Yes, you are correct! An introvert needs to recharge by having their own time, and an extrovert thrives off the energy of others.
