The Cricket
My exam works were to center around Joel Ben Izzys book, ’ The Beggar King and the Secret of Happiness: A True Story ’, the book tells his journey of losing and the return of his voice as a storyteller. Within his story he tells short stories with morals and links them to happenings in his own life.
These Lineare drawings are based on 1 of those stories called The Cricket, the story folows a cricket, who tries his whole life to jump to the moon. All the other crickets laugh about him in the beginning, but by the time of his death he has become a legend to the crickets because he never gave up, it is even believed that his face can be seen in the shadow side of the moon.
I found the story endearing!

The Beggar King

This Lineare drawing is based on 1 of those stories, called ‘The Beggar King’. I can really recommend reading this short story, even if you don’t read his whole story, the short stories he chooses to tell, really have a great moral that we can all learn from, or at least make us stop and think about.
