The television show is called Dawson's Creek. The show is based on four teenagers struggling with high school, love, and their futures. In one of the episodes, one of the lead female characters began drawing and she realized that she just might have some artistic talent up her sleeve. So in order pursue this new found passion, she broke up with her boyfriend. She believed that if they were apart she would be able to find herself and figure out if drawing is the right thing for her.
When she broke up with her boyfriend she told him that all she was was his girlfriend and she wanted to be more than just that. So she took several art classes and started enjoying the new creative person she had become. She went into drawing open minded and in the end a whole new world was opened right before her. Drawing kept her entertained so she kept doing it. Feynman kept himself entertained by doing what he loved. He loved science and enjoyed not knowing the right answer. He just wanted to have fun. And in the end he did. He was a very intelligent and successful man.
Feynman and the girl in Dawson's Creek are similar because they were both curious and open minded to everything, that in the end they experienced a whole different side to life. And they enjoyed experiencing that new side because they were having fun and loving what they were doing.
I realized that two things that are completely different can also be completely similar. I never thought that a show about four teenagers could relate to a article about a famous scientist. It just goes to show that creativity is everywhere and anyone can be creative.
I found that this blog post was interesting because the girl in Dawson's Creek was doing the same thing Feynman was but it was in a sense teenagers would enjoy,a tv show.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting how you connected a character from a TV show to a scientist Feynman. I totally agree that these two people’s creativeness comes from their enjoyment and curiosity towards what they are doing. Art and science can be a really tough topic to struggle through. However, since these people were full of their curiosity and were ready to enjoy the struggle followed by this curiosity, they were able to reach their creative ideas. I also liked how you said these people were open minded. Many people decide not to open their mind when they face some hard topics. Since most of the people these days are not willing to learn, or accept new things, creativity can not present. I believe the most essential source of creativity is, curiosity, enjoyment, and people’s willingness.
