English Comic MYP5
Tekst Storyboardowy
- One Friday Afternoon at 5:00PM...
- Bla... bla... bla...
- OLIVE!
- Well hang up right now. Your report card is here... and you failed math!
- Mom, you scared me! What is it, I'm talking with Stephanie-
- Oh no, she found out I failed math. But who cares, it's not a big deal. Besides, my whole class failed. Crap, she will probably ground me now though... *Deep breath*
- If I fight with her, I will only cause resistance. And if I've learned one thing, it's that one person cannot force another to lead a fulfilling life. Thus, she must find the motivation to create her meaning on her own.
- But mom- life isn't just about grades! Isn't it more important for me to socialize?
- Oh my, she reminds me of my younger self.Lost and searching for meaning.
- Uhh, what?
- We are our choices Olive, we are our choices.
- Olive, I am very disappointed in you. But, I will give you the space to reflect on how you are spending your life. I hope you take the time to think about your meaning, and what your future goals and ambitions are.
- I do not know how to deal with her anymore, she never listens. *Sigh* All I can do now is leave her alone and hope she reflects on her ways.
- Wow, what just happened? We always just fight, yet now she has left me pondering on the meaning of life.
- *Buzz*
- Meaning of life, meaning of life... Huh. So, what is my meaning? How can I find it...
- I must change. Time is the most valuable thing on Earth, and the one thing we can never get back. And all I do is waste it.
- We all have one life, one story to write. Yet all I do is waste my time on my phone. Now I realize that the reason I feel so empty is because deep down I am unfulfilled...
- 🙍🏼♀️
- Hello? Are you there? Lets watch tiktoks! 🎉
- Mhm?
- Stephanie
- Sorry, my Mom came in! And-I need to ask you something...
- This might be a little random. but, what do you think the meaning of life is? 🤔
- Gosh, I wonder if she knows what the meaning of life is. I have to know!
- I NEED ANSWERS! 😰
- 10 minutes later...
- 🙍🏼♀️
- Oh. Well, maybe... to find love?
- That's alright! Let's just go find the meaning of life then!
- Stephanie
- Hm. That's cool but to be honest I'm not quite sure. ☹️
- Wait, what? How!! 🧐
- 🙍🏼♀️
- Ahh hold on, I'll be at your house in 10 minutes!
- Stephanie
- Awesome, see you soon!
- Hi! I'm glad you're here!
- Of course! Now let's go outside. I'll explain everything on the way.
- Good point, let's ask him then!
- I was thinking, why don't we ask someone? True, we don't know the meaning of life, but that man over there for example might have the answer!
- We hope we are not bothering you, but we were just wondering if we could ask you a question about life.
- Good afternoon, Sir.
- What is the meaning of life?
- Rather than looking for a specific meaning, we should dedicate our life to creating it, and becoming complete. This is because meaning is not something that is set in stone, as it is deeply personal and different for everyone.
- Good afternoon to you as well. I too spent my whole life trying to find my meaning. But only years later I realized I should not have been looking.
- What do you mean?
- 15 minutes later back in Olive's room...
- Therefore, the meaning of life is to choose the choices that are right for you. Only then can you live your life to the fullest and create your purpose.
- What this means is that you are free. Because, ultimately, your actions determine your path.
- With every choice, we create ourselves. As one existentialist by the name Sartre has said, existence precedes essence.
- Wow, I'm shocked. That is a new perspective that I have not thought about, but I absolutely love the answer and agree.
- Good luck building your purpose.
- .
- Goodbye, and thank you so much.
- I am still perplexed about what the wise old man said.
- Exactly. I realized that there is no "right" and "wrong" choice, as everyone has different morals. Thus, there is simply a choice.
- Me too. I agree with him though, as now I feel like my eyes have been opened to the reality that we are in charge of our lives, and denying that is just us making excuses.
- And by making the choices that are right and good for you personally, you create the meaning of your life, fulfill yourself, and find your purpose.
- *Olive's mom knocks on door*
- Come in mom, me and Stephanie have something to tell you.
- And on that note, mom, I wanted to apologize for my carelessness and irresponsible attitude towards school that I have shown. I realize how much you sacrificed in order for me to have the opportunities that shape a bright future, and from now on I will always try my best.
- We had an epiphany - we realized that only we can give meaning to our lives by embracing our personal responsibility and developing ourselves.
- Oh my goodness, Ollie, I am so proud of you. And I would like to apologize as well for not giving you your space sooner. I realize now that by constantly trying to make your choices for you, I only cause an opposite effect. I am extremely proud that you've grasped your personal responsibility, and trust you will develop into a moral and fulfilled individual.
- Yes, of course. Let me grab my books, I have some math to learn for the retake exam!
- .
- Wow, who are you, and what have you done to Olive?
- HAHAHAHAHA!
