ReplyDeleteWho's Frieda Kahlo??
ReplyDeleteHere's her and anyone please give your opinion
ReplyDeleteFrieda Khola
“The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.”
Andre Breton
Sitting in a body cast in 1924, Frieda Kahlo sat silently in her lonely bed thinking incessantly about if she would ever make it out of the ominous hospital. Frieda Kahlo should probably be remembered as one of the most exemplary artists of the century. Mexican native, Frieda Kahlo, knew from her early years that she was going to at least try to make an impact on the world. Even when Frieda experienced the deadly polio at only 6 years of age, she persevered; of course, like her whole life shows by believing in herself. At an early age, Frieda Kahlo was on of the only women in a high-paying school, but instead of taking it for granted; she took it as an opportunity at life. Frieda Kahlo once watched silently as Diego Rivera, famed Mexican painter and future husband, painted an eloquent mural on the school wall. Even then, she most likely felt affectionate for him as she said she did later in her life. Soon after Frieda broke over 40 bones in a saddening accident, she decided to turn the accident from a negative to a positive. Pain, willingness, and sadness showed in her art work while she was in a body cast in the hospital in Mexico.
The extravagant painter showed artists a new way of life and perseverance alike during her middle years. A huge communist supporter, Frieda and her husband, Diego Rivera, often let in famed Russian communist leaders. By doing this deed, they endangered their lives for they thought was right. For that, I truly respect as not only a painter, but also as a person. During her tough divorce, she was deeply saddened by her husband’s actions; however, she just let her emotions flow in her drawing, and it showed with the money she made.
Hustling and bustling, Frieda kept the work up even as she neared the end of her magnificent journey. About 4 years before she died, Frieda Kahlo had a deadening problem in her leg, and she even had to get it cut off. Even then, she still widely participated politically like a maniac until she passed away. Furthermore, she went to an opening of a museum with her art in it while she was in a body stretcher. Yet again, she strongly persevered through all of her problems and made sure nobody treated her differently because of her set backs. In conclusion, by persevering through her setbacks and always taking nothing for granted Frieda Kahlo is one of the most exemplary artists to ever set foot on the earth. Walking steathely out the door Frieda Kahlo knows that it is time for her to take a step back into the ‘real’ world. “The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon around a bomb.” describes all of her weakness and strengths by talking about her beautiful art and her levels of life.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
ReplyDelete“There are many causes I am prepared to die for, but none I am prepared to kill for”-Gandhi
“There are many causes I am prepared to die for, but none I am prepared to kill for” says Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a peaceful, nonviolent protester against Indian discrimination. As the sun rises over the nearby hills, A bald, unkempt man starts down his street on his morning walk. Gandhi is known as a hero and leader.
He was born on October second, 1869 in India and died January 30, 1948. Sadly, he didn't have anything that we have today, from comfortable beds, to toys to play with when he was a boy. Strangely, He was educated at the Royal Academy of London to become a lawyer, but he instead chose to live his life in India. At age 13 he was married to a girl named Kastwfia and they later had four children, Haulal, Manilal, Ramdas, and Devadas that he loved with all his heart.
In the middle of his life he became a peaceful protester, capable of tremendous perseverance. To protest in India is breaking the law, and he was thrown in jail several times. He played a prominent role in the Indian independence Movement of South Africa. As life progressed, he protested more and at one point was thrown off a train because he refused to move from first class to third class while possessing a valid first-class ticket. Truthful Gandhi met entrepreneur Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line and maker of the model “T” ford car, in 1909 in the United States of America. In South Africa, he told fellow protesters to refuse and suffer, rather than use violence and that became one of his major philosophies for the rest of his life. I believe that that was an illogical decision, for he just let the enemy get him, instead of getting the enemy.
Gandhi had many morals that he believes all his life. Faith, truth, and nonviolence were morals of Gandhi's, as well as vegetarianism, swaraj(self- control), and simplicity. Faith was one of Gandhi's morals because he was very religious and as he said, “Yes, I am Hindu. Yet I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew.” Surprisingly, another one of his morals was brahmacharya(devotion). The last one he got when he was older and his father passed away, he became incredibly devoted to his mother. A trait of his was fairness and truthfulness. It is said that Gandhi never broke a promise. To conclude, Gandhi lived a long life and he was always devoted to his morals and he never, ever gave up. Walking back to his house, the bald, unkempt man with thick glasses, Gandhi, realizes he is one of the world's most influential men. “There are many causes that I am prepared to die for none I am prepared to kill for” is, in a nutshell, a summary of all that Gandhi ever stood for.
Does anyone have any advice? I did the checklist and did everything yet it could still be inproved.

Mother Teresa
ReplyDeleteCaroline Mackey
“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.”
- Mother Teresa
As the frail, old woman looks at the children suffering; tear droplets well up in her eyes, and gently and slowly roll down her wrinkled, old face. Mother Teresa, a missioner and humanitarian, ministered and saved the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying people in Calcutta, India.
Out of five children, Mother Teresa, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was one child. Sadly, only three of her born siblings survived. She was the youngest out of the surviving children with an older brother and sister. Mother Teresa and her siblings had a father who devoted most of his time to politics and the Albanian cause. After one of his meetings he fell ill and died. Having her father die made 8 year old Mother Teresa want to help ill and dying people.
In other words Mother Teresa’s warm, tender nature led her to help the dying, ill, poor, and orphaned. She vowed to give her life to these people the care they need. Speaking out about divorce, protecting people, and caring for other human beings is what makes up a wonderful woman like Mother Teresa. Not only did Mother Teresa care for children, but also spoke out against problems throughout the world. Although Mother Teresa did sublime things she did take pity for God. A famous quote Mother Teresa once said, “If you can dream it you can do it,” really wings me. When I have a dream to be someone or do something, I remember her words and realize that I shouldn’t give up, I should go out and grab the chance. Abandoned, ill and dying people combine to make up the humans Mother Teresa helped throughout her loving life.
Mother Teresa was a good woman who inspired the world and the people with her unselfish acts of love and dedication; thus she took a vow of poverty, and she spent most of her life helping others and serving God. Above all Mother Teresa did what God expects from each of us and that is to do the best that we can, with what we have. She used her position in life to the best of her abilities. She taught the world and people that love will open doors that hate has closed. She taught us that the greatest way to show God's love is to meet the needs of others. She helped those that were in need. She helped the poor, the dying, and abandoned children. She showed them love, compassion, and kindness. She gave them shelter, food and hope. Truly, she was an inspiration. When Mother Teresa said, “Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person,” she meant to tell people to get up and do things for other people and to lead your own life the way you want it to go.
Sister Teresa was a kindhearted and affectionate woman; therefore, she helped save many lives, provide for others, and make other people feel good about God and life. She experienced things that none of us could ever experience. As Mother Teresa slowly walks away from the Albanian children she helped, they all run as fast as they can up to her and thank her from the goodness of their hearts for what

ReplyDeleteAnne Frank
“Don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”
-Anne Frank
A skinny, black- haired girl sits down at her desk to write in her diary. Anne Frank was just a young, innocent girl, but along with several other Jews, she was considered a national threat.
Anne lived a sad and memorable life. Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany. When the Nazis attacked, Anne and the rest of her family were forced to flee and hide in Amsterdam, Holland. To learn Dutch was a challenge for Edith and Otto Frank, Anne’s parents, but Anne and Margot, Anne’s sister, learned Dutch easily and became fluent in both German and Dutch. The Franks hid in a secret room that was apart of Otto’s old office building. The Franks and the van Pels, another Jewish family that went into hiding, moved in in 1942; unfortunately, the Franks secret hiding place was discovered in 1944. The only artifact left over from this terrible tragedy was Anne’s inspiring diary, which has now been published as a book.
Although Anne was an ordinary girl, she accomplished great things. Anne’s diary held all of her thoughts. Anne wrote about how much she wanted to play and run outdoors; she also wrote about how much she feared the Nazis. Despite these desperate times, Anne always had hope and made the best of everything. For example in one of her entries, she stated, “I don’t think of the misery but of the beauty that still remains.”
Anne’s diary has made a big impact on the world. Thousands of people across the world have read Anne Frank’s glorious diary. With this diary, Anne proved to the world that you can change the world if you make your voice heard. As some wise guy once said, “If you want to see a change in the world, YOU have to make it.” Personally, I have an opinion that states that Anne has done an excellent job of making the world a better place.
To conclude, Anne Frank kept an inspirational diary, had hope in desparate times, and always made the best of everything. A freckled, black-haired girl lays down in bed after a long day.
Thanks you guys!

Mother Teresa Character Sketch
ReplyDelete“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
-Mother Teresa
As an old, natural, and caring lady is getting out of a rustic bed, she’s ready to help India. Mother Teresa is a warm, loving person who puts others first.
She has a valuable background. Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born on August 26th, 1910 in Macedonia, Skopje. Mother Teresa was the youngest of five children; however, only three survived. Nikola, her mother, devoted all her time to politics and Albanian cause. Mother Teresa’s father died in 1918. Mother Teresa was almost eight years old. Her pictures were all she had to remember him. Then later in her life she decided to help the sick and poor. Mother Teresa gave to others and was known as sentimental, wise, and fair.
Mother Teresa had many accomplishments. As Mother Teresa said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” She accomplished so many things that she won the Noble Peace Prize for working to bring help to suffering humanity in 1979. In 1946, Sister Teresa had an experience called a “call within a call” which made her want to care for the sick and poor. She was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity. Roman Catholic women helped the poor, especially the poor of India. She created Nirmal Hriday (“Place for the Pure of Heart”), a place where people who were dying could go and be taken care of. To advocate for the blind, old, and people who are disable, she decided to open a center for them. Amazingly Mother Teresa didn’t judge others, and was always giving to others.
Surprisingly, Mother Teresa has changed the world in various ways. She helped people be aware of poverty in other countries. If Americans really want to make a change in the world, and be like Mother Teresa, they must work hard at it. I f Americans were brave and compassionate, they too can be successful. Americans and Indians are still trying to emulate her actions, even 12 years since her death. This shows how Americans and Indians are good and believe in doing the right thing. September 5th, 1997 in Calcutta, India at 87 Mother Teresa died of a heart attack. Although, she has not been forgotten.
To conclude, from caring for older people, to winning the Noble Peace Prize, and changing the world, Mother Teresa was a life changing, selfless woman. “If you judge people, you have no time to love them” means that people shouldn’t judge people if you haven’t had time to get to know them. The little, old lady lays down in her antique bed, she’s ready to start the next day.

Irena Sendler
ReplyDelete‘I was brought up to believe that a person must be rescued when drowning, regardless of religion and nationality.’ – Irena Sendler
From her forged papers clutched in her hand, eyes full of faith and crisp nurse uniform, everything about Irena Sendler seemed business-like as she entered the Warsaw Ghetto. The more she saw, the angrier she became. Irena Sendler was a remarkable woman who showed courage, loyalty and faith in the face of danger.
Irena Sendler was a Polish Catholic social worker and grew up around Jews from childhood. Irena was born on February 15, 1910. She was raised by her Catholic parents to respect, love and help people regardless of their religion or ethnicity. Her father, a physician, was the only doctor who would treat the poor, mostly Jewish patients that had typhus. Her father may not have been held highly in the eyes of others, but he was very loyal to his belief. Surprisingly, he died when Irena was just seven from the very sickness he cured. Irena was comfortable around Jewish people as a young child. Not only did she oppose the Ghetto Bench System that existed at the Warsaw University, but she was suspended from the University for three years for doing so. She had courage to do so because she was following her heart, which is a most admirable thing. When she grew up, Irena became a Polish Catholic social worker. From Otwock, to Tarczyn, Irena Sendler worked for Urban Social Welfare.
She moved into Warsaw just as World War Two began. Almost immediately, Irena Sendler joined the Zegota and began aiding Jews. Irena Sendler knew she had to help people in the Warsaw Ghetto because she had been brought up as a little girl to know that everyone should be helped. The Warsaw Ghetto was an area that Jews were forced to live in Warsaw, Polland. She didn’t like the way they were treated just because they had a different religion. She joined the Zegota, which was a code name for the Polish Council to Aid Jews (also known as Konrad Żegota Committee). Irena Sendler and two dozen others

ReplyDeletestarted to smuggle the children out. To smuggle them out past German guards took tremendous courage. In boxes, suitcases and strollers, the children were taken out of the Ghetto and away from the train that led to the concentration camps. The children were placed with Polish families, orphanages and convent. The families who gave up their children were probably feeling like their hearts were being torn out of their chests. Most of the families would never see their children again. I can only imagine what they were feeling and I admire them for that. Irena Sendler disguised herself as a nurse and forged papers. Before she knew it, she had saved 2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto. As she saved the children, she kept track of their names in jars. Their new identities and their old ones were buried in jars beside a tree. Irena Sendler had the hope that after the war she could return the children to their parents.
ReplyDeleteIrena Sandler continued her life-saving work until she was arrested. In 1943, she was arrested by the Nazis. When they came to her home, she was working with another member of the Zegota on writing down the children’s names in a jar. Irena knew she couldn’t risk them finding the jars. They both showed tremendous courage to keep calm with the soldiers at their door. Tactfully, she stuffed the jar into her underwear. Not only did the Gestapo torture her, but they sentenced her to death. But still, she did not give away anything. This was incredibly devoted of her and courageous. On the way to her death sentence, the Zegota bribed her guard into letting her go. With shattered, broken arms and legs, Irena Sandler was left in the woods. She lived in hiding for the rest of the war and continued to help the Jewish children. At the end of the war, she tried to return the children to their families. Sadly, most of the parents had been killed or gone missing. Some say she was a hero. She disagrees. ‘Heroes do extraordinary things. What I did was not an extraordinary thing. It was normal.’ With all things considered, this was an extremely modest thing for her to say. Some Christians did nothing to help the Jews. Irena Sendler died on May 12, 2008. She showed the world that in times of danger, you must follow your heart and do what you know is right.
To conclude, Irena Sendler showed courage, loyalty and faith in times of horror. She didn’t save just 2,500 children. She saved their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on. She did believe that people should be rescued. The Jews were drowning and Irena Sendler saved them. Stumbling out of the Ghetto, Irena Sendler holds a box in her hands. Her face twisted with emotion. Her hands shake a bit as she walks through the streets of Warsaw. Arriving home, she pulls the baby out of the box – and smiles.

ReplyDeleteWinston Churchill

“A pessimist is someone who sees the difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
In 1940, German bombs exploded on the streets and houses across London, and people wailing and crying for dear life was all there was to be seen or heard. Puffing on a cigar as if to sooth and convince the London citizens that everything was under control, Winston calmly led the people to underground bunkers. Winston Churchill, the prime minister from 1939-1945, was a great man for many different reasons, and will be remembered for saving London from Germany (Hitler). Winston had a terribly neglected, unfairly ignored childhood. His parents didn’t think very highly of him, and his parents always neglected him. At age eight they sent him away to St. George, a boarding school, and never visited him even if they were in the same town as the school. He did terrible in school and hated it, although he wrote to his parents and lied that he liked it. Surprisingly, the only time Winston’s parents visited him was because at eleven years old, he got pneumonia and thought he might die. When he got older, his ways of flunking changed almost as if his eyes had been opened so he could see the world. 1895 was a hard year for Winston. His father and beloved nanny, the woman who had supported him all those years, passed away. Winston never had a chance to show his father his calling. When Winston was thirty-four he married Clementine Hozier had 3 girls and one boy. unintelligently, Winston smoked cigars which was bad for his health, and as a teenager, his parents had begged him not to, and even bribed him. In his later years, he achieved many accomplishments. In 1953 Queen Elizabeth knighted him changing his name to Sir Winston Churchill. In 1963, Winston became an American Citizen, and the same year he won the nobel peace prize. From an eight year old boy who didn’t care whatsoever about to school, to a middle aged man who had found his calling, Winston Churchill was a brave, intelligent, great unselfish man. Not only did he help stop Hitler, but he also went to war for a few years. “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
-Winston Churchill.
This quote is a great quote describing exactly what Winston Churchill is not. What this quotes is suggesting is that an appeaser is somebody who lets the other person do whatever they want, Where as Winston always stood up to Hitler no matter what. An optimist is truly the word to fit Winston Churchill for his enthusiasm when things looked bad, his hard work to stop Hitler, and his determined spirit.

ReplyDeleteMother Teresa
By Robert Fuller
“We can do no great things; only small things with great love.” -Mother Teresa
An old, frail woman picks up a small child. She washes him, feeds him, and blesses him. They are in the slums of Calcutta, India; however, this little boy is considered “untouchable”. Who is this person who so willingly, lovingly serves those in need? Mother Teresa is this nun’s name. Mother Teresa of Calcutta was a joyous, generous, and loving woman who served God with and people in poverty with all her heart.
When she was born on August 26, 1910, her name was Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu. Nicola Bojaxhiu, her father, was a pharmacist. Upon his death when Agnesë was 9, Drone, her mother, became a saleswoman. Even as a child, Agnesë was very devout, and she went with her mother to work with kids in poverty.
During her 18th year, Mother Teresa left her home of Skopje, Albania and traveled to Ireland to become a nun with the Sisters of Loreto. She then took the name Sister Mary Teresa after St. Theresé of Lisieux. Six months later, she went to India and taught geography at St. Mary’s High School for Girls in Darjeeling, India. Next, she received a call from God, so she went out to serve in the slums of Calcutta. Determined, wise Mother Teresa started the Missionaries of Charity and made shelters in more than 120 different countries.
At the time that she passed in 1997, sweet Mother Teresa and her kind organization had more than 4,000 nuns helping. Although others criticized her beliefs and actions, she made the world a much better place. Righteously, Pope John Paul II sped up the process to make her a saint. Mother Teresa won countless humanitarian awards, including the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. From making shelters, to blessing children, and feeding the hungry, Mother Teresa has impacted millions with her love, generosity, and inspiring deeds.
I think Mother Teresa was faithful, hardworking, and wise. She was very faithful because she listened and followed the call of God. Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity intensely comforted and healed. To become one in poverty in order to help them is so generous. Caring for others and comforting the suffering, Mother Teresa helped thousands. She was wise because of all the guidance she gave to the dying, the poor, and those who feel unloved. As Mother Teresa once said, “Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”
To conclude, her faith, wisdom, love, and generosity pushed her to do the magnificent things she did and light up lives like no one else. As Mother Teresa feeds the homeless man, he is happy, for he knows he is in excellent hands
