Blog Entry 2.2

Orphan
Children who are refers to as orphans comes from various situations. In addition, many of them might have lost their parents due to unfortunate circumstances such as war, sickness, disease and some are abandon for unknown reasons.

In this image, we can see a young boy fetching water from a well. I can only imagin what he is thinking. What I get from this is pure innocence from the boy and his way of life. It comes natural for him, everyone he knows does what he is doing. The yellow bucket color represent the sun and with the sun we get sunshine . With that said, the yellow indicate hope in the boy's life. Well, for myself I was fortunate to have both parents, but, this make me sad because it bring back memories has a child growing up in Jamaica. Even though I had both parents, I had vivid memories of living in my words, "slight poverty". Thinking back on my childhood living conditions, it was bad, but it wasn't the worst. Thanks to God. Anyway, their are people I know personally who were worst off, including those I have read about and seeing on television. One who read this should not be sadden for me, I was actually a happy child because that all I knew. I believe the biggest issue thats I can strongly relate to an orphan is a fear of abandonment.
Altruist
This is a person who is very selfless, kind, and always quick to give. People love to be around them and  definitely look out for their friend. Basically, with altruist personality these people always participate in charitable action.

In my opinion, Angelina Jolie is a great example of  altruist.
This is a picture of her star, she is an hollywood star. Angelina is consider the most respectable humanitarian heroine and was awarded the best celebrity humanitarian of 2007. Because of her continuous work as a U.N. goodwill ambassador, she command the greatest public respect of all the celebrity do-gooders. Angelina is an adoptive mother of three orphans, who she adopted from three different parts of the world. She constantly tries to raise awareness of the devastating suffering in Africa.

In this image the (grey) color indicate her dedication and positiveness. The (white) color represent the pureness and genuine care  she has for the less fortunate. Her half naked shoulders signify hunger, pain and suffering for the needy children. The long steer in her eyes, depicts how long before people help these abandon helpless people. I agree with the results of me having an altruist personality because friends, family, sisters and brothers at my church can testify to that. I am kind, friendly,  great best friend, and I constantly spend a lot of time volunteering at church, events, the soup kitchen where we hand out food and sometime my personal belongings to the less fortunate. These are jus a few do-gooders things I am apart of and I can justify that  I have the personality of Altruist
