Here is my 7th Sunday Funny. Enjoy!
“What meaning is this? The climax of creation, man? Nothing seems unspoken. Religion, culture, jellyfish, gorillas created for man? No. No, of course not.
I used a page from Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael and created my own poem.
My poem:
the sound of the talking was nothing
then something changed
imagine the presence of one
speech occurred over and over
my attention possessed;
now I employed a different sound;
by small steps,
in some mysterious way,
I was truly born
as a person.

For this Sunday Funnies assignment, I decided to quote Mahatma Ghandi.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” – Ghandi
I live by this quote because it inspires me to better myself as an individual. If I could change one thing in this world it would be how people of different ethnicities interact with each other politically, socially, and economically. This quote has made me realized why I should accept people for who they are no matter what.

For this week’s Sunday Funnies, I decided to use a quote by Mark Twain.

I read this book a while ago but this quote was the one that came to my mind when I first heard about this assignment. I feel that this quote is really motivating and although it was very difficult, and I ran into many problems during the process, I had a lot of fun illustrating this project.

For this Sunday Funnies assignment, I chose a quote by Arthur Ashe.
“Success is a journey, not a destination.”
-Arthur Ashe

I chose this quote by Socrates for my Sunday Funnies Assignment because it really made me think. Often times we do not let ourselves try something because we do not think that we are ‘supposed’ to do that. Or, when we do go to something or see something we are left disappointed because we pictured it turning out differently or being different. I chose these photos to portray this quote because the one on the left was of my high school tennis team in 2013 when we were at the semi-finals of our state tournament. We took this photo as a joke and did end up losing the match (the photo and losing have nothing to do with each other). But, the photo on the right is us after we won our regional tournament for the first time in six years. If we don’t think that we can beat a certain team, we don’t but when we do take a risk and don’t have expectations, we are able to accomplish everything.

Quote by Thomas Jefferson.
For this week’s Sunday Funny, I chose a quote by Thomas Jefferson that really speaks to who I am. I personally hate feeling like I am not being productive; therefore, I intend to spend every minute of my life doing something.
