I chose for my blog “You Tube’s Rising Cartoon Star” by James Gavin, this is a very interesting article that struck me in many different ways. This article is about the cartoon Smigly that is currently on You Tube. When I watched one of these episodes it didn’t make sense to me at first, in this video there is a man playing saxophone on the street while a man constantly criticizes him on his playing. While the man is playing he blows out his heart into his saxophone and dies. This video was a metaphor for the mans life on how he took so much rejection from the world it was hard to handle and he couldn’t keep his soul intact. This was very strange to me because at first I could understand why he just died on the street. From rejection from one guy but then I got that that one man is representing the whole world and how they were rejecting him on his dream to become a saxophone player. I understand now that some times things can be overwhelming and you just want to give up on it. This guy goes to show you that you can’t quit eventually things will get better, because now this man has a very successful show on You Tube. However the article points out that he is fighting the same struggle other people are is how to make money off of stuff on the internet.
