Frida Kahlo By: Hedda Garza

The book Frida Kahlo is a biography about Frida Kahlo. It talks about all the obstacles she has faced in life and all of her best secessions. The book is also talks about childhood memories and the disease she received when she was younger called Poliomyelitis. So here is a little more detail about the book. On September 17, 1925 a bus crash in Mexico killed several people and injured many more. On that bus there was a woman named Frida Kahlo, after the accident happened she was found near the tracks severely injured. She was pieced right through the stomach with a metal holding bar that was on the bus. While she was confined due to her injury, she decided to start painting. Due to that accident the 20th century gained their most beautiful and talented artist-Frida Kahlo. 

My opinion on the book, is that it was really great the book leaves you wondering why she made certain decisions, shows great imagery on how things were back in her time, and how cruel woman can be. I enjoyed learning about someone new and learning what lead the to their path of fame. Even though some parts in the book got me upset with Frida, I really did enjoy it. Overall, what i think the book tried to convey is that no matter how many things that are difficult for you or try to ruin your path to your dreams, don't let it take you down. You have to keep persevering until you make it.

On A Sunny Evening  On a purple sun-shot evening Under wide-flowering chestnut trees Upon the threshold full of dust Yesterday, today, the days are all like these. Trees flower forth in beauty, Lovely, too, their very wood all gnarled and old Into their crowns of green and gold. The sun has made a veil of gold So lovely that my body aches. Above, the heavens shriek with blue Convinced Ive smiled by some mistake. The world's abloom and seem to smile. I want to fly but where, how high? If in bared wire, things can bloom Why couldn't I? I will not die! 1994 Anonymous  Written by the children in Barracks L318 and L417 Age: 10-16 years

SodaPop Curtis is the second eldest brother out of the Curtis brothers. He is movie-star handsome and is very sweet. Soda is a high school drop out and he is not proud of it. He works at the DX gas station so he can make a living for his other brothers. SodaPop is a very optimistic person he is always smiling or joking around. He is really not good at disciplining his brother PonyBoy like the eldest brother Darry is. SodaPop really does not take life serious he lives for the moment but he is serious when it comes to important  situations. SodaPop Curtis changed throughout the book by acting more of his age and controlling over his brother PonyBoy because he does not want his brothers life to be endangered ever again. I like everything about SodaPop but some key things I like about him are, his personality and his perspective on life. He is so happy go-lucky, he likes to make a game out of everything, and I think It's very important to surround yourself with people like him. ...
