Creating a personna

  We did an exercise where we made up excuses for why we did not come to school on a certain day. I have a pet lizard and my excuse was that I had mistaken his hibernation for death. And had not come to school because i wanted to give him a funeral. Later he woke up and I realized that he wasn't dead. Sudipto then talked about how you could get information about the kind of person someone was by just that simple story.
  He asked us to observe and talk to a community of our choice. My group decided to study a group of construction workers. We were then asked to create a personna using the qualities that these construction workers had. Our imaginary construction worker was a woman called Shilpa. She had two children who she could not afford to send to school and bought along with her to work because there was no one else to take care of them. She risked her professional hazards on them as well. Her husband was a garbage collector.
