1 outline of artist statment

Thesis: Desmond Doss and John Lennon lived for the same thing: “peace for all the people”, but they expressed it in two different ways, art and war.

1 Paragraph

- Desmond Doss

When I stared this project I was looking for a great soldier that died in the battle field or that had give his life to save someone else’s. Instead I found something better, the story of a great man, a soldier out of the ordinary. His name was Desmond T. Doss, he was a soldier during World War II. But there was something different about him that made him………, he saw the opportunity of destroying for peace as an opportunity to restore what was being destroyed. He had certain believes that made he’s world wider than the other ones. He didn’t believe in killing, his reason to be in the battle field wasn’t to destroy, but to save. Doss risked his life to save the life of other 75 soldiers, he went to the front line of the battle field and with out a single weapon to defend him self he carried back fallen soldiers and used he’s medical tactics to save them. Even though for some he might be the complete opposite of what a warriors do because instead of hurting he healed, I believe that this man never need a gun to prove that he was a real warrior, someone that fought for his dream, peace.

Include (religious thoughts)
Paragraph 2
-picture and transition to John Lennon
In my piece of art you can see Desmond Doss with his honor medal. The tombs represent other American soldiers that risked their lives like Doss did, but they didn’t make it. The words in the tombs are a quote from a song written by John Lennon, “Imagine”. I think the quote “nothing to kill or die for” is the one that best represents Desmond Doss because he believed in peace with out murder.

Paragraph 3
-John Lennon
This song also represents well the believes that John Lennon had.

Paragraph 4
-Quote and song, meaning (things going on in that time)

Paragraph 5
Conclusion
Despite there differences Demond Doss and John Lennon had at least the most important thing in common, what they lived for, peace for all the people.
