My favourite artist

Hello everyone,

In this post, I'm going to write about my favourite artist.

He is called Banksy. He is from England, and he is a street artist. He has got millions of followers on social media. For example, more than 10 million people follow him on Instagram. There is something really interesting about him: Nobody knows who he really is. In other words, he is an anonymous artist. He just paints a picture on a wall (mural) in a city somewhere around the world, and it gets famous right away, but he usually does it in England. Unfortunately, some of his artwork is erased afterwards because people don't know it was Banksy, who painted it. Sometimes people erase his artwork because they don't like the message in it, or it is wiped out because some say it is vandalism. Here are a couple of examples of his artwork that I like.

I like his art because it always has a message. He draws about war, social issues, politics, etc. I think he is doing his best as an artist about world problems. That's why I respect him a lot.

In conclusion, I like art with a message in it. This is one of the reasons why I like Banksy. What about you? Who is your favourite artist? Why do you like them?

Thanks for reading.

An Inspiring Person

Hello, In this post, I'm going to write about an inspiring person. Her name is Greta Thunberg. She is a 17 year old young girl from Sweden. She is a student and an environmental activist. In 2018, one day, Greate decided not to go to school. Instead she went to the parliament building (of Sweden) and protested the government's attitude towards the climate change all alone. Then she became famous for her ideas and nowadays she is a famous activist and giving talks in different places. World Economic Forum, the European Parliament and the United Nations are a few of them. In this video, Greta is addressing all of the world leaders and calling upon them to do something serious about the climate change. Greta is also joining protests for climate change in different countries. She goes everywhere.

A book review

Hello everybody, In this post, I'm going to write a book review. This is a very important book for me. First of all, let me tell you the basics about it. It's called "Of Mice and Men", which was translated as " Fareler ve İnsanlar " into Turkish. It is a novel, but it is not very long (novella). It was written by John Steinbeck, a famous American author. It was first published in 1937, and it has got 107 pages originally. This is the cover of the book in first edition. The main characters of the book are George and Lennie. George is short, but he is a strong man. Also, he is Lennie's best friend. On the other hand, Lennie is very tall and very strong, but he is mentally disabled. In other words, he is like a baby. He cannot do anything without George's help. He always asks George before he does something. Lennie and George in the film version of the book. George and Lennie live together. They have a dream; they want to make a lot of money and buy a f...
