Monsieur Pivot on Horseback

"Every Journey starts with one step"



What do you think about the picture which was drawn by the artist, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot?
I picked 'Monsieur pivot on horseback' because it represents and symbolizes my quote. It looks like as if the man (M
onsieur Pivot) is going on a journey and as he takes one step, he looks back at his home. It looks as if he is longing to see the people that he had left to go on forward with his journey. He looks as if he feels nostalgic. His horse doesn't turn back and it appears to be feeling very devastated to leave wherever he was from. He shows as if he is baffled.

How does it link with our current topic?
This links in with our topic because the man (monsieur Pivot) is going on a journey to a mysterious, puzzling, strange, bizarre, perplexing, inexplicable place that he has never been to. This refers to my current topic; if you see he is steping a step or two forwards and looking back, it means that he wants to go back and not go on a journey after all. He looks like he has no choice to go but to go forward. This links to my quotation "Every Journey starts with one step" because he doesn't want to go but he's taking a step at a time. As my quote says, every journey WILL start with one (simple) step.

  1. Reflective and relevant. Transitions between ideas work well. You were organized in your approach to this explanation, however I felt that you repeated yourself at one point. What about linking it to the journey that you are going on? That would have made a real link to what is happening in your life and given more substance to what you were trying to say. Pleasing ideas but aim for more specific details to make the point clearly.
