Subject: Imaginary Audience

Last night all 3 presentations mentioned the idea of an imaginary audience. I'm in the midst of reading "Warriors Don't Cry: A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock's Central High". These students had a real audience. I can't imagine the internal struggles they each faced. A quote from the book describes one of the Little Rock Nine's perspective: "My eight friends and I paid for the integration of Central High with our innocence. During those years when we desperately needed approval from our peers, we were victims of the most harsh rejection imaginable. The physical and psychological punishment we endured profoundly affected all our lives. It transformed us into warriors who dared not cry even when we suffered intolerable pain (p. 2)".
