Matt Harding Essay Reflection

What surprised me is that he doesn’t only do the dancing in different countries for himself but he does it so people that feel and are different can finally be the same and equal as other people. He does this dancing so that people can connect from all over the country and come together as a community.

Why we judge people by how they look?

When Susan Boyle came on stage everyone judged her by how she looked. It was because she was old and ugly that they didn’t like her. Even the judges thought she was disgusting and that she wasn’t going to make it. People were laughing at her and making disgusted faces and they made sarcastic whistling to make her think she was cool. But she still had this dream of becoming a singer and she didn’t care what people thought. And then she started singing and people were amazed. Also at the end Amanda the judge was saying that people were unbelievable and that Amanda herself and the other people shouldn’t of judged her by how she looked.

It seemed like Paul Pots gave up his dream at a young age, and started working for a mobile shop. When he thought he could live his dream again he went to Britain’s Got Talent to show what he could do. At the beginning he didn’t feel confident but when he left I’m pretty sure he felt that he could do it and he didn’t have to be unconfident.

Paul Pots reminded me of another boy that was once on the show Britain’s got talent. The boy was ten or eleven and was not confident because of the way people bullied him. He didn’t have any friends because they thought he was different because he sang opera. When he came on that stage he sang and everyone got tears in their eyes. Simon told the boy that he could wipe out all of those bullies. So at the end of the day he left the stage with first or second price in his hand and left with confidence. Take a look at him below:

My Characteristics


Who am I?

I chose the image on the left to represent the tree in my poem. How it spreads and journey's. Sunflowers also bring joy just like the sun brings joy to people.                                                                                                    

Who I am?


I am the sun

Sparkling through clouds with my bright rays,

Energizing cold people on a white frost winter's day,

Promising the summer's joy,

In skies of blue.

 

 

I am the clown

Tripping, falling,  juggling balls in my striped trousers and white, red face

Throwing colorful ball and handkerchief

Watching, working and playing for the laughter on faces,

That makes me too laugh.

 

 

I am a rope,

Made out of different parts,

Flexible as feelings,

I twist and tie and break and heal

I knot and open and bind and unlock

 

 

I am the tree,

With roots deep in the dark sand,

But my branches, spread, grow and twist through many countries,

Where I have journeyed,

For a short time.

 

 

I am a dog,

I will always stand by you,

When feelings are hurt,

I will sit next to you to comfort you and your feelings

Like the sun helps people,

I will help you

 

 

Who am I?

 I am me.
