Life Like A Flame

     I know a woman who had a very great life. Her life was not given by the destiny, she made it herself. She is Frida Kahlo. Usually, she painted her self-portrait within her feeling. Her paintings have very strong feeling. Each painting has different meaning. Her paintings also include Latin American style. Her life was also extraordinary. There were historical interesting people, such as Diego Revera, Lenin, and etc. around her. Everybody liked majestic Frida and her emotional painting.

     Frida was a painter in Mexico. She was a just ordinary girl and the last daughter in her family before the car accident. She had to ware a cast in her whole body. Her arms, legs, and spinal code were hurt. She could not get out of her bed. Her parents brought paint and canvases and attached a mirror on the ceiling. She started to paint herself. She showed her painting to Diego Revera, who was popular painter in Mexico. Frida and Diego fell in love each other, and they got married. However, their happy married life did not continued forever because of Diego¡¯s amorousness. The sequela of the car accident made Frida very ill. And she smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol, too. Finally, she could not get out of her bed. By the way, Diego came back to her and stayed.

     Frida was a weak woman, but her mind was strong. In her several personality, people can realize that she was not weak. First, She liked primary colors such as red or green. She wore a red dress and a green shawl for her marriage with Diego. She always attracted people¡¯s attention. She was confident. Second, she did whatever she wanted, nobody could resist her. When Frida was very ill, everybody dissuaded her, but she finally went her reception of her paintings with her bed. Third, Frida was innocent. It means that she was innocent enough to have friends earnestly. She became friendly with Diego¡¯s ex-wife. They anguished together about Frida¡¯s problems.      

     Frida had confidence, good sense of expression, and innocence. She expressed her feeling in her paintings. Her paintings include her happiness, tears, pain, and life. Her paintings are her autobiography. She was very lucky because she knew how to express her feeling. She did not hesitate about her opinion. And she did not shrink, too. These are the reasons for why I want to be her. I wish that I had confidence and sense of expression.

     Frida¡¯s life was like a flame. Her life was kind of difficult, but she stood face to her life and people stately. She made people and the world marvel. A person who sees Frida¡¯s paintings first may laugh at her face because she is not pretty. However, if that person know about her enough, he/she will think about her patiently.
