Post your opening & closing paragraphs of your Icons Artist Statement. Then....
It was a normal day after school. I had just got home and was putting my stuff away. Out of nowhere I hear my mom say to me, “come over here and sit down with me, I have some news to tell you”. And then she said it. “I have a brain tumor. I want you to be able to take care of yourself as much as you can and we will get through this”. After she told me that I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know how to react. As she watched my blank face she made some joke to me cheer me up. Till this day I don’t know what that joke was. I still remember that blank feeling. I worried about what was going too happened next. That’s when we found out that my mom had cancer; from there everything was going to change.
She began to teach me to do the laundry cook and clean the house like her mother taught her to do so when she was my age. I learned how to appreciate the things I have and be grateful that I had a mother that cared for me. I appreciate everything that I have learned from her. What she had taught me really did help throughout the years when she got really sick I took care of her for a while and it really came in handy how to cook and clean but I still got help. Also after her death it still came in handy because every day I look out for myself. even though I’m still growing up and learning form my grandmother and father, but what my mom taught me will always be with me and I which to pass all that I have learned from my mother to my children but no only do I want them to learn what my mom taught me I want to keep my mom’s memory alive by telling the future generation about her and what and impact she made to the family.
1. Explain why you chose this opening/closing combo.
Chose this combo because the way they complemented each other by how it starts with a little short story about my mother having to tell me that she has a brain tumor and wants to leave me with life lesson that I can use. The closing paragraph talks more of what happens later on and how I use what she taught me. In the end it connect to each other and continues the story
2. How does it tie together your big ideas?
They tie together to my big idea because it shows how I appreciated what she did and I learned great values from her.
3. Explain the types of thoughts that you hope your reader has when they are done reading your work
I would like that my readers to have the thought of people or anything that they appreciate. Nothing last forever. Also I would hope that a lot of people can connect the topic if they have lost someone important to them. I just want my reader to appreciate what they have and be grateful for it.
