//Disobedience follows my thought//

Disobedience follows my thought, 
But thoughts follow my Disobedience.
Sometimes It make my day, 
Sometimes It make me pay.
But what does Disobedience mean anyway?

It means opening opening the truth of life,
It means dying a million times alive.
But if rooted truly deep in conscience,
It means making the world revive.


What is that? What's that poem meant to do? At first, it might seem confusing and a little out of sort, but if taken a closer look, the poem conveys something deep; something that shaped our world today.

Disobedience is a powerful tool that can affect our lives. It can change our society and how things are viewed. Disobedience is also a characteristic common between the most revolutionary people - including George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. 

As it might seem at first, Disobedience is not just going against your parents' wish or laws of Government. Disobedience is a force to change our world. But not just any Disobedience, only Disobedience that is right. 

If the society suffers from an ongoing wrong belief or practice, then the disobedience to depart away is correct. It is not just a made up theory about Disobedience, but a proven fact rooted in the History that shaped us and will our future. 

MLK is one example of that disobedience. He went against the long going society practice of racial discrimination. His disobedience was the one that led to the betterment of society. 

George Washington and other American revolutionists went against the British Government who was trying to oppress the Americans. Their disobedience was the one that led to revolution and formation of a better country.

They are not just history figures, but the people who changed our world today for good. They used the powerful tool of Disobedience that was opposed by the society, but because of the conscience of their belief, they achieved their goals and changed the society. 

Disobedience is a powerful tool that should be used to cure the ills of society when needed. But not all Disobedience is right; it is only correct when it is a step towards improvement and progression of Human Life.

    I found your introduction very interesting since it took me a long time to understand it. I agree with the way you described disobedience as "a force to change our world". Disobedience is extremely powerful and it should be viewed with a strong perspective.

Maus's Message (Page 125)

Image
  From Maus I by Art Spiegelman      This is a panel (page 125) from Maus by Art Spiegelman and it reveals a lot. In the direct context, Vladek (Narrator's Father) was stuck in a ghetto. Germans were transporting Jews from there, but Vladek managed to hide and survive. After the whole ghetto was emptied, Vladek and his wife Anja left the ghetto.     When we look the picture carefully, the road that Vladek and Anja are travelling on is representing the Swastika symbol of the Nazis. The road is completely white and clear, but the surroundings are lined (which represent the lined clothes of jews in the concentration camps). Also, the ends of the road eventually get into the lined part as well, especially in the top end of the road.     The drawing is very detailed and is a foreshadow of future of the characters. Vladek and Anja are walking on a swastika shaped road; they are within the range the Nazis (Spiegelman shows that by making t...

What is Art?

What is art? Well, I don’t know. Or maybe I do.  If you look at pure definition, art is commonly regarded as something that was created out of the creator’s creative mind. It could be a movie, a song, a book, a painting, or anything else. If you look deeply among these art forms, one common element is that all these emerge from the imagination of a person. And for me, that imagination is art.  I have been imagining various things since childhood. As a kid, I imagined myself as a superhero saving the world or a famous sportsperson representing the country. I used to think of dinosaurs, aliens, car racing, and all sorts of things. As I grew up ,things have changed, and I don’t necessarily dream of myself in a fantastical world. Rather I try to visualize academic concepts. This may sound boring at first, but when I start to imagine such realms, it quickly develops my interest. For example, while doing AP Physics C this year, I was sometimes  confused by the complexities. But...

The Next 10 Years

As I transition into the new chapter of my life and exit high school, I would have to change and learn a lot. To help me go through this smoothly, I plan on reading these 10 books in the next 10 years. Fiction      Lord of The Rings - by Peter Jackson: I have always been lured by fantasies and the worlds they describe. As I read this book about Frodo Baggins's journey to prevent Sauron from getting the hold of the One Ring,  I will enjoy the adventures of Frodo and his friends as they fight against Sauron's will.      Pride and Prejudice - by Jane Austen : As Austen follows the stories of the married couple of Elizabeth & Darcy and Jane & Bingley, she explores the various societal issues of the time. Going through their story, Austen highlights the aspects of the society that existed in late 1700s. Reading this book will help me gain insights into the historical societal views and allow me to explore important themes.      One Hu...
