Assignment 2-2

Mickey Mouse is a popular icon that is well known for his cartoons and the main symbol for amusement parks across America.  He has provided entertainment for a multitude of people for several years. 

I chose Mickey Mouse because he has impacted so many people in a positive way including myself as a child.

As a kid I enjoyed the Mickey Mouse club and cartoons but I think the greatest reason Mickey Mouse has impacted my life is the story of how Mickey Mouse was created.  While Walt Disney was isolated with mice in his room the life of Mickey Mouse bloomed.  To me, it signifies that grand things can be created in a dire time.   I had, and still have, a standing Mickey Mouse phone in my room growing up.

                Elvis Presley is known for the King of Rock and Roll.  He is known worldwide for his acting abilities and singing talents.  Elvis shocked the world with his act.

                Elvis was rejected by most adults in his debut yet he loved by the younger people in the debut of his career.  Elvis was bold to stand up for what he believed in which impacted his generation and all the generations since.  It has been years since Elvis died and he is still impacting people. He has shown how much one person with a mission can impact the world

                I have always enjoyed Elvis’s singing and like watching his movies.  I was young when I died yet remember where I was when it was announced on the radio.  As much as Elvis had going for him, his death has always been very sad to me.  He was adamant against using narcotics only to get hooked on “safe” prescription drugs.  The very thing he fought consumed him in the end because it had a different wrapper. 

                The Holy Bible was written approximately 2000 years ago.  The span of the writings required about 1400 years using 40 writers.  It contains 66 books and is considered the Holy Word of God.  In spite of this, the Bible is considered one book.

                The Bible has affected many lives for centuries.  There are those who claim it is just a book of compiled fables but to the believer the Word becomes living leading the way to Salvation and guides people in their lives.

                I have experienced firsthand the benefits of believing in the Bible.  The doctors told my parents that I would not survive my battle with Leukemia.  When they had me prayed for, I was healed and have not been sick since.    The Bible is an intricate part of my life as I know it is for many others.   I do not know of anything else so old yet still as popular as the Bible.
