I think that this essay is saying that everyone has a heart. No matter their size, everyone has a heart. This essay shows all sorts of different animals. Many that I don't even know! But they all have 2 things in common - a heart and love. They all love something...or someone. Maybe, some hearts may be small. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that they give less love. It depends on its personality. Who knows? A small hummingbird may be more loving than an elephant. You may think that all tigers or lions or predators don't even have a heart. But trust me, they do - they're just afraid to show their love. Think about it - you won't allow the lion to eat you if it acts nice around you, would you? It's only so ferocious because it's hungry...and so is its child. The lion loves its child....and wants him/her to be happy. Clearly, every animal has at least one feeling - love. (At least that's what I think.) So, that's what I think is something that should be remembered from this essay. Size doesn't matter in love.

What's Worth Knowing?

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing." -Neil Gaiman

This quote is very true. They don't teach us what we should know. So, what's worth knowing? I think it's worth knowing how to not hurt someone. Regularly, many people upset others. They could get very hurt depending on what happens. Sometimes, it may happen without even knowing. There are many examples of people getting hurt and the consequences may be very heart-breaking. It can be physically or emotionally. In fact, I believe more people get emotionally hurt! Yes, we are taught to not be mean to others and to not physically hit someone. But, that is not enough. Hurting others can be done in other ways too. You may hurt someone without knowing, which is true in many cases. Many take some things in a very offensive way and that's how many relationships end. Misunderstandings occur quite often. Additionally, people can be hurt in such a way that they want to commit suicide. They cannot take the emotional pain. At some points of time, being emotionally hurt can lead to something more dangerous than being physically hurt! Studies show that emotional pain is more hurtful than physical pain! Emotional pain is not learnt about  as much as physical pain. To be on the safe side and to avoid disruptions in relationships, it's important to think twice before you speak. Just one mistake can lead to someone's death! So, that is something, I believe, that's worth knowing.

Waste Land

The most memorable part of this movie was when the  people were crying tears of joy seeing their artwork in the museums. It was very memorable because they probably never have even dreamt of being famous! They became famous artists from garbage pickers! I learned that you can become anything you want...even if you were a garbage picker before. You can accomplish anything you want if you try hard!
i think the people felt extremely happy to use there job in a better way. They were probably really grateful to be one of those few lucky people to get this new job! I would feel very grateful. I would feel so ovejoyed that I'm noy as "useful" as I thought I was.

Delicate

This is a plant. It needs good care otherwise it will die. So, it's delicate.

Big Pics

Honestly, I loved all the pictures. They each had their own hidden meaning. It was amazing looking through those beautiful, intricate snapshots which people had shot as their daily life. They weren't expecting it to be all that big. But, they've turned out to be some wonderful moments! It was difficult narrowing it down to just one brilliant picture. But, I managed to do so and I've also posted some others that stood out to me.



This picture was taken near the House of Parliaments and Big Ben in London, England.

I loved this picture because everything is in black and white...kind of like dull...and no freedom....they just stay in place (like the buildings, they cannot move). But, the sun only shines on one thing....the balloon. The balloon symbolizes many things to many people. But to me, it symbolizes freedom. It can let go and just be free and fly away. The sun is "highlighting" that fact that the balloon is the only one that shows freedom in this picture. It probably wasn't meant to be taken that way...but that's how I see this picture.

At first glance, you might miss how there are tons of buildings and how they compare to the balloon. Why did this person decide to take a picture of this? What stood out to them about this?

This sunset is just brilliant. I have always loved watching sunsets. Each one has it's own uniqueness.




This picture was also cool how the sunlight only landed on the man riding his bike....and nothing else. So, it seems just like my most favorite picture (the balloon one). Looking through these pictures, I'm realizing that the Sun plays an important role in symbolism.




Grief/Pain+Anger+Sadness=Volcano Eruption
That's what it seems like to me. The foggy layer of smoke which is tealish-light blue reminds me of sadness. The dark bluish-teal layer of heavy, puffy smoke reminds me of grief/pain. The heavy ed smoke reminds me of anger. With those 3 emotions combined, you would definitely erupt!




This is another favorite of mine. It doesn't really symbolize much to me....but it is just really cool! It was taken in action and came out perfect!




I just found this picture to be amazing! I mean...honestly, just look it at it! It;'s just soooo cool!





I find this to be very pretty! And it was on a window! I can see many different things! Flowers, birds, etc. It's up to our imagination to think of this as what we want. It's a very creative image!

Outside

I couldn't take many pictures because my phone died. So, I only took a few. But, the ones I took-I don't think they came out so bad

This one is red berries. This came out okay.

I tried taking a picture of these tiny berries, so the outside would go out of focus and the main focus would be the berries. But, this picture came out the other way around. :(

This, I believe, is a wasp. I think someone stepped on it. But, it came back alive!

Looking In

I think of looking in as looking into the future. I can't take a picture of the future or how I will be because I don't know yet. So, I took a picture of me when I was small "looking into the future"
