We all read how certain environments and identities affected how Tambu acted. To be honest I can relate to this topic. Nearly everyday I am in an environment hat changes my "identity" and in turn effects my decision making. Here are of few of my examples.
1. One of the major places that effects my identity is church. In church I am not allowed to be the outgoing, crazy kid that I am around my peers. In church one must remain quiet and respectful, which alters my thinking, and tells my body to stay still and quiet. Creating a very strict, formal, and respectful identity.
2. The next place is on a social media website. Social media sites are created for people to be able to freely express their selfs. Which is what I do, but on some of these sites I am sadly monitored like a hawk stalking its prey by my mother. In turn, limiting my freedom of expression. Creating a free yet smart and cunning identity.
3. Then, theres school. At school its a toss up. You will either find me just relaxing, you can find me being rambunctious with friends, or you can find me being very quiet and well behaved. All of these factors are controlled by my mood that day, weather or not I'm in class, if I'm doing something important in class, or if I'm just freely roaming campus at break. Creating a very chill, fun, and relaxed identity.
4. Next is a relatives house. This one is tricky all depending on which relative you are staying with. If you are staying with an aunt or uncle, the mood will have more of a fun, comfortable vibe to it. Allowing you to express your self, while still knowing your limits. But if you are staying with a grant parent its a whole different story. The mood will be more of a stricter, awkward vibe. You most definitely wouldn't want to freely express your opinions out of due respect. Creating a very fun, relaxed, or strict, uptight identity based on where you are in particular.
5. Finally, a water park. A water park would be a perfect place for one to express themselves. Full of fun rides, a happy atmosphere, and mostly good people; the mood here would reflect that of a chucke cheese or a McDonalds play area. Creating a very relaxed, free, spunky, and fun identity.

Nicely done Will. You compare various locations and identities extremely well, making sure to touch up on many important moods associated with them. I also like how you ended each segment with a strong clincher, which consists of the identity in a few words.
