BLOG POST #5
Preparing For and Embarking on a Journey to Creating a Literary Profile

    For my upcoming piece of work which is an literary profile, 

which will require, and give me the liberty to explore, and gather 

insightful information on another individual other than myself, it would

reveal, and bring to me a plethora of knowledge of what 

it is like to be someone else. 
 
     My second oldest brother has quite a knack 

for writing, and two years ago he began to set on a journey of 

writing films, and series which he wants, and feels could one day be 

recognized, and developed in Hollywood, California. What makes 

my second oldest brother a possible candidate for my literary 

profile is that he carries this nostalgia to him that he can be 

productive, produce, create, and re-create to his own rhythm, and 

beat without having to go through , and complete school, or work 

really hard in a ordinary job in order to be someone/something 

eventually/one day. What makes his nostalgia rare, and unique for 

me is that it embodies both of this fairy tale-like element to life 

that in this competitive world we live in today, to make it "big" without 

having gone through a institution or earning some kind of degree 

for a knack turned profession, or career, he feels it can be this way. 

On the other side to this theory of his is that its more or less 

unlikely to be this easy or non-challenging to be discovered. 

    Secondly my Father is someone of a established stature having 

immigrated here in the late 1970's to Brooklyn, NY from Ghana, 

and was from nothing nut a green card among the many 

other credentials he carried with him, he was able to build from the 

ground up a 5-borough distribution business  that has lasted to 

today, and has been taking care of me from the very day I was 

born. Whats contradictory is that he left school very soon 

after receiving his associates to start this business, and sometimes I 

feel I should do the same, (leave school after my associates, 

and become self made someway, somehow) but he shuns that idea,

and is strict about me completing school. and i feel its not all that 

fair or reasonable when thinking about the decision he made but at 

least cam find out why exactly he went in the direction he went 

after possibly interviewing him.
