How to use identity in a sentence?

  1. Oscar Auliq-Ice:

    A subtle but effective way of encouraging an irregular voter is by slightly altering your vocabulary when you ask questions.

Use that to your advantage by emphasizing the identity of being a voter rather than the act of voting.

  2. Walt Whitman:

    Answer That you are here---that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

  4. Aydin Soei:
