Reflection:
Before this discussion, I like to observe people wherever I am. For example, in hospital, if there are two people standing in front of the doctor, and apparently one of them is accompany with the other. I always like to guess who is patient. On the bus, I always like to guess the jobs of people by their dressing and behaviors. Although I could not get the answer at last sometimes, I still enjoy the process of the guessing part. When I watched the movie Holmes, my favorite part is when Holmes infers someone’s job, life, even what he/she did last night. I don’t think that is impossible in the real life. Since if we know everything, and we notice some details, we could do the same inference as Holmes does. Watching people is interesting, because we are being watched by somebody else sometimes. And we don’t know what they think about us, however, the best part is, sometimes, we could be anyone. For instance, we could dress like a lawyer, and talk like a lawyer. Then when someone is watching you, he/she might think you are a lawyer.
Future:
I will keep watching people. And I always will cosplay someone else in real life, not for some shows or activities.
