Enigmatic Smile of Mona Lisa



              We all know the famous painting of Leonardo the Vinci which is Mona Lisa. It was very popular to the whole world. Many of us are curious about the smile of Mona Lisa. It is intriguing. I am curious about who is that girl behind the face of Mona Lisa. And also how did Leonardo the Vinci came up to that face of Mona Lisa and the name of it.

        Many researchers had researched about the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa. The Dutch said that the smile of Mona Lisa is 83 % happy, 9 % disgusted, 6% fearful, 2 % angry, less than 1% neutral, and not surprised at all. Another thing that the researchers did was the faces of ten women of Mediterranean ancestry were used to create a composite image of a neutral expression. The researchers compared the composite image and the painting. They got six emotions: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness.

        The facial expression of Mona Lisa seems to change depending on the direction from which you look at the painting. I was really curious of what is the real mood of Mona Lisa in the painting. Researchers had made many researches about the smile of Mona Lisa. But what are the real emotions of Mona Lisa shown in the painting? You, do you have any idea? Share it with me.


Great Man of My Dreams.


         In the year 1960s and 1970ss, The Beatles is very popular those times. The Beatles is a band composed of four members. One of them is my very best idol who is John Lennon. John Lennon is one of the guitarists in the band. He was married to Yoko Ono and had one child who is Sean Lennon. John Lennon left The Beatles and made a solo album. He released the album “Double Fantasy” and after he released that album, he was murdered. No one knows what the real reason behind it was. He was one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music.
        John Lennon invited a fan in his house. That was luckily me. When I arrived at his house, I saw a very big and gorgeous house. He greeted me and walked with me going to his house. The very first place that we visited is his museum. There, he showed and explained the albums that they made when he was once a member of The Beatles. I realized how many songs that they made. After a long time roaming around the museum, the other members of The Beatles arrived at his house. I hugged each of them very much. It was really nice and unbelievable to eat with them. We talked as if we were friends before. That night, we went to their concert. It was their reunion and their comeback onstage. I was very glad to see them performing onstage. I joined them onstage and sing their song with them. John Lennon introduced me to their fans. It was a great opportunity to sing their song with them. After the concert, John Lennon handed me a guitar with his signature. It was his personal guitar. He gave that to me because that concert was their last performance together. I was touched because he gave me his guitar.
        I chose John Lennon for this because I idolized him so much. I like how the way he sings. Their songs were so great and meaningful. I wanted to live in their times. I wanted to be one of their fans those times. But still, I am one of their fans. I am still listening to their songs. I love the meaning of them. Everytime I heard their songs, I remembered John Lennon. He is my one and only idol in their times.
