Quotes

 What are quotes? What makes quotes stand out when famous people declare them?  What do they actually mean? They sound fanatical sometimes, but usually have lots of meaning.
Some of my favorite quotes are….  
- “Dogs never bite me. Just humans.” By Marilyn Monroe,
-“When one door is closed, another one is opened.” alleged Bob Marley.,
-“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attitude of the strong.” Said Mahatma Gandhi.
-“Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world.” Unfortunately I was so homesick that I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.” said Tyra Banks.
- “Ok, you want me in a cage, then I will come out in beast mode.” Said Lil Wayne.
        All of these of these quotes have lots of meaning.  The quote by Marilyn Monroe, “Dogs never bite me, Just humans.” I think this means people can be really mean and nasty and all they want to do is tear you down.
Bob Marley once said “When one door is closed, another one is opened.” This means if one great opportunity passes there will always be another one. 
        I found Gandhi’s quote to the most thoughtful.  “The week can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attitude of the strong.”  I think this means forgiveness makes you a better person, and being unforgiving makes you snobby. Forgiveness is better than holding a grudge and possibly loosing this person for ever.
        Tyra Bank’s quote was most relevant to me. “Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world.” Unfortunately I was so homesick that I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.”  I really got what she meant it was straight to the point. She is saying that going out is fun but sometimes you need to go home and get away from all the drama.  There is no place like home!
        Lil Wayne quote is my favorite.  I feel it is a good life lesson. He says “Ok, you want me in a cage, then I will come out in beast mode.”  He is basically saying that if people are trying to hold you back you need to come out and give it your all. Just to prove them wrong.
        Overall, quotes can have a lot of meaning; some are inspirational and some are heartbreaking. What they all seem to have in common is a very strong message!

  1. I liked your post, it was very unique. You had a wide variety of vocabulary. There was only couple of errors in your writing, but they were so small that it didn't change much. I think you could have added an author's note before it. Otherwise, awesome job.
