Abstract:
The image shown above is inspired by one of the most powerful and inspirational speeches by Rev. Jesse Jackson in 1984 that still plays a significant role in U.S. history. His speech implemented a very energetic and compelling message that inspired many. The message incorporated a metaphor that influenced the image we chose. The media above is an art that we found and in the image is David and Gloliath. David and Goliath is a well-known biblical story that acknowledges many life lessons such as 1; Do not underestimate yourself and your capabilities, 2; Believe, 3; Use resources that you already have, 4; Size does not matter, and 5; Be bigger and bolder than your fears.
