In the personal narrative “Two Questions” by Lynda
Barry she shows that one must not give up their creative mind for the gratitude
of others. Lynda Barry is a cartoonist that displays here emotions and thoughts
through pictures. Lynda starts with saying she loved to draw because of the
free flowing thought process and how it was her own. Then she starts drawing
things that are only good to her peers and not necessarily to her. Lynda then
realizes that the appreciation by others was not important as her own opinion
on it and decides to start drawing for her again. She ends her personal
literacy telling kids to come back to drawing and to not quit if someone says
it’s not good. I completely agree with this narrative in many ways. Drawing
from my own experiences I learned many ways to convey my message or thoughts
through art. I also feel that no one should tell you what is good or bad, only
you should judge if you like it or not. Many people limit their creativity
because they are afraid of what someone will say about it. I use to make comic
books as a young kid not for my classmates to enjoy but for my own amusement.
If I had only created them for others they might have not been as special to me
or how I wanted them to be. I say to all those writers and artists keep doing
what makes you feel good and not what others want from you.
