Reflction on Peanut Drawing Project-Devin Sherwood

I noticed that after we took the time to draw, give a life story, characteristics, and a name to our peanut it was no longer just another peanut. When asked if we would like to trade our peanut for a more perfect one most people in the class refused to give up their peanut. By paying so much attention to this one peanut we personified it in a way. No longer could anyone eat their peanut, but rather a bond was formed between that person and their peanut. By noticing the imperfections and weird shape of our peanut we noticed its uniqueness, and every other peanut lacked the special qualities of our own peanut. It was then easy to distinguish our peanut from a group of other peanuts because we recognized its own unique imperfections.
At first this peanut was just another peanut in a shell, it didn't mean anything to anyone. Yet, after completing this assignment and "getting to know our peanut" it became our own personal peanut, even our friend.
