Intermediate Literature Unit 6

     Marian Anderson and Raphael are two amazing artists.  These two artists are strong, creative, caring, and determined to finish what they start.  Marian Anderson did not give up even when other people treated her poorly.  She cared for the other people that were going through the same things.  Marian loved to sing.  Of all the things he could be Raphael Sanzio was caring.  He cared for his friends and their work.  He took time to help them and watch them work.
     All Marian Anderson wanted to do was sing, but because she had brown skin people didn't want to let her.  Even though she isn't treated like a person she still doesn't give up and stop singing.  When she went to a singing school to learn more about singing she was ignored because she had colored skin.  She was hurt by it but she still didn't give up!  Marian Anderson sang and sang until she was invited to the Lincoln Memorial.  She accepted the invitation because she knew she was a symbol for her people.
     Raphael Sanzio was a young artistic boy that loved to watch and learn about art.  He watched his dad paint and his neighbor make pots.  This boy was an example of the saying, "watch and learn."  One of his friends wanted to marry Raphael's neighbor's daughter.  Raphael's friend was not a potter and Raphael's neighbor (Benedetto) wanted his daughter to marry a potter.   Later after this Benedetto made a challenge,  it was that anyone who wanted to marry his daughter would need to make a pot witch he would judge.  Witch ever pot was the best the maker of the pot could marry his daughter.  This made Raphael's friend sad because he knew he couldn't make a pot, so out of kindness and care for his friend Raphael offered to make a pot for his friend.  His friend said he could.  Raphael worked day and night on his pot.  When his friend saw it he was amazed.  Later Raphael won the contest with his beautiful pot.  His friend married Benedetto's daughter.  This is an example of caring for a friend.
      These two artists are amazing, creative, artistic, and determined to finish the unfinished.  They are examples of determination, creativeness and friendship.  Without these traits the world would be a different place.  With a little creativity and artistic thinking these people had success.
