Final Six Word Memoir: Being Myself Is What Counts, Not What People Want Me To Be.

1. Pretending to be something your not.

Well what inspired me to write this 6 word memoir is a person that I don't want to mention. For some reason she doesn't like the way I am. She's always trying to change the way I am. Whenever we go out to see the family she always wants to change the way I dress. She doesn't like  the music I listen to, but that's just the way I am. The 6 word memoir is just trying to say that sometimes I have to pretend to be something I'm not around my family that doesn't live with me. In reality they don't know who I really am. I selected the image below because it's practically saying the truth. It's always better to be yourself then pretending to be something your aren't. If you do, then you're just hurting yourself.

Whale Rider

In the film Whale Rider a little girl name Pai is the leader of a  tribe. Her grandfather,
Pucker,does not want to accept her as the leader. Her grandmother actually shows her affection towards Pai, not like her grandfather, Pucker.Her grandmother supported her more than  Pucker. Later in the film Pucker kicks Pai out of the house because she tries do the same as the the boys after she is told not to by Pucker. Pai's uncle helps Pai by shower her how to becaome the leader of the tribe. I think Pai was not valued in her family by her grandfather beacuse she is a girl. Since her twin brother died at birth, her grandfather was disappointed that she survived and not her brother,which was going to become the leader. The only reason why Pai's grandfather accepted her was because she proved that she was the leader. Pai proved she was the leader by riding on a whale.

Music!

It's true what Billy Strayhorn said "All music is beautiful". Music is a way to express yourself, just like art. Whenever you are happy you listen to cheerful music. When you are sad you listen to depressing songs. There is always at least one song that describes the way you feel at that point. "Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”- Unknown . The quote says it all. Many people say that some genres arn't real music, there is no such thing as "Real Music" All music is real. You might not like it but other people do. Don't pay attention to what other people say, just listen to what you want, to what makes you happy.
