Three Influential Icons
The Beatles
An icon is a
symbolism of something or someone who possesses characteristics and traits that
are looked highly upon. The possibilities of what an icon can be is endless. It
can be a song, a movie, a person. Three top examples of icons that are iconic
to me are all people. These people are, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Oprah
Winfrey. Michael Jackson was a singer who started at the age of 4 and remained
is popularity and greatness until his death. The Beatles was a successful band
from the 1960’s and continues to make an impression on new and current
generations. Oprah Winfrey is known for her talk show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show,
“ and how much she helps people in the world. There are many people in this world who are inspirational icons. I chose Michel Jackson and Oprah Winfrey for their celebrity statuses, and The Beatles because I have never heard someone not know who they were. All three are known for there immense about of exposure. Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and Oprah Winfrey may not be loved by all, but they all made a difference and whether some are alive or not, they are continuing to make a difference to many people in the world today. Michael Jackson and The Beatles still play on the radio and sell their music, and Oprah Winfrey continues to have her show air on television.
Oprah Winfrey
Michael
Jackson was a successful man. He was unique and didn’t let the weight of the
world make him perform any less. He had hardcore fans that he worked to impress
and show off his amazing voice and excellent dance moves. He was a very
inspiring person to have watched work so hard and face so many people who
disliked him. His strength and motivation is truly iconic. I chose The Beatles
as an icon because I grew up listening to them. My step dad used to twirl my
sisters and I in circles and dance with us in our living room when we were all
young children. Now, when I go out to places that have jukeboxes, I will always
play a Beatles song and everyone in the room sings along. Oprah Winfrey is
considered an Icon to me because she is a woman who has become so successful
and still gives back to the world. It
has taken a long time for women to prove her abilities and remain inspirational
and Oprah does an excellent job showing this.
