"One Piece" of Inspiration



 ”One Piece“ is currently one of the most popular manga globally, it influences me a lot in shaping who I am. I learnt a lot principles of life while reading it. This is where I understand how dream is very important to our life, without a dream, what's the purpose of life? Each character in "One Piece" represents an attitude towards life, I'll talk to you about that later on. "One Piece" taught me the importance of having a dream, and you should always stay strong and insist on attempting your dream. "One Piece" represents my attitude towards life, I would not be who I am without  getting influenced  by "One Piece".


“One day I'll have a ship and crew better than yours! And we'll have the biggest hoard of treasure in the world! I'm gonna be king of the pirates!" Monkey D Luffy (picture to the left) exclaims to Shanks, then Shanks sacrificed his right arm in order to save Luffy's life. Everything starts with this promise, he follows his dream no matter how hard it is, just to keep that promise. Luffy taught me that life is very simple, just follow your dream, and live your life with no regrets. The other reason that kept Luffy to follow his dream is another promise he made with Shanks, before Shanks leaves him, he gave his precious hat to Luffy, and challenge him to return this hat to him once he became a great pirate. Thats his motivation to keep his promise and follow his dream in the quest to become the kind of pirates.


The main theme of "One Piece" can be represented by dream. It indicates every human being should seek and follow their dream, it also represents enjoying themselves with their personal freedom, which should be how everyone should live. But reality does not allow us to do that, everything is restricted, that's why when you have a dream, you should seriously insist and try to achieve it, or else you will definitely regret it when you turned old where you do not have to ability to follow your dream anymore.

    This is a great blog entry topic as it fits in very well with your extended theme of "Dreams". You have used used appropriate, advanced vocabulary for the most part, e.g. motivation, attitude, represent, but there are some sentences that could be improved: "...this is said by Monkey D Luffy" What other reporting verbs could you use?
    Keep up the great work, Joshua!
