This paper focuses on the analysis and examination of a person as a profile. This profile explains what the person’s work, belief, creative,thoughts, and flow in his life was. For this analysis profile, I have selected a poet named Shel Silverstein. The reason to select Shel Silverstein is that he obtained vast experience in not only the artistic work but also lived his life with a touch of unique rules, beliefs, and thoughts. His many rules to live life can be found in the readings of flow that are discussed in the class. Firstly we introduced him, he was a musician and poet recognized for books for kids like "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and "The Giving Tree." Comment by Tiffany Wong: This type of commentary isn't necessary for an essay such as this.

SIlversteinHe was born in 1930 on September 25, in Chicago. He studied musicology and settled himself as an artist and musician, composing songs such as Loretta "Lynn’s “One’s on the Way,” and “A Boy Named Sue,” which was familiarized through 'Johnny Cash.' Shel Silverstein further composed literature for kids, like "A Light in the Attic" and "The Giving Tree" as the poem selection. Shel Silverstein died in the year 1999. He served in the Army of the United States in the year 1950 and worked in Japan and Korea, converting an artist for the magazine named "Stars & Stripes." Later his work in the US Army was done, Shel Silverstein shortly started sketching animations for publications like "Look and Sports Illustrated," although that was his job for a magazine named "Playboy" that started receiving Silverstein public attention.

Cartoons created by Silverstein arrived in each edition of Playboy, managing to at the top place in fame at that time, from 1957 to the 1970s. In the 1950s, in Playboy Silverstein further started examining different domains of creativity, such as music and writing, and he added songs to the publication, such as "The Smoke-off," and "The Winner" and composed the book "Playboy's Teevee Jeebies" and its series, "More Playboy's Teevee Jeebies: Do-It-Yourself Dialogue for the Late Late Show." Shel Silverstein further started writing his own cartoon novels, starting with Grab Your Socks in the year 1956 and "Take Ten" in the year 1955. In the year 1960, his assembled cartons, "Now Here's My Plan: A Book of Futilities," would issue by one of the most popular sketches decorating the screen (Almeida e Silva Mello & Gonçalves, 2018). Throughout that period, Shel Silverstein branched out within musicology, videotaping the first album named "Hairy Jazz" in the year 1959 that album including many types and a few unique songs. McDowell described Silverstein’s reclusiveness in the Book Review that Silverstein “for many years has rejected interviews and promoting stints, also Silverstein even requested his publicist not to transfer out a piece of biographical data regarding him” (McDowell, 1981). This is a belief of life that shows us that he wanted an "Autotelic Experience" that we learned in the reading.

Silverstein once stated that “When I was a kid – 12, 14, around there – I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn’t play ball, I couldn’t dance…So, I started to draw and to write. I was… lucky that I didn’t have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style; I was creating before I knew there were a Thurber, a Benchley, a Price, and a Steinberg. I never saw their work until I was around 30.” (Ramsey, Comment by Tiffany Wong: This is too long of a quote. You'll need to use a shorter quote and paraphrase the rest or use long quote format.

He didn't start writing for kids until he wrote "The Lion Who Shot Back," "Uncle Shelby’s Story of Lafcadio, written in 1963. Silverstein admitted once that: “I never planned to write or draw for kids.

In the year 1974, Stel Silverstein wrote many poems for kids named "Where the Sidewalk Ends." That brings out the real creativity and the joy of life that he always wanted from life. Making connections to the similarities of Edward Lear and Dr. Seuss, Wherever "The Sidewalk Ends" got funny exercises like “Band-Aids,” “Dreadful,” and “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout / Would Not Take the Garbage Out." Kay Winters praised the success of the author in "The Reading Teacher: “Among beings from the never-heard, Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout (a person would not get the trash out), Hector the Collector, the Mustn’ts, Tickle Me too, Ickle Me Pickle Me, and entertaining bone of Silverstein appears to work wherever he performs.” She additionally wrote that "Where the Sidewalk Ends “is the absolute record for educators to hold handy.” The book has established successfully with boy collections as thoroughly; this remains Comment by Tiffany Wong: Italics, no quote marks for titles throughout essay.

Today indicates the completion of the analysis of Shel Silverstein, also whereby his task frequently describes Thoughtful expressions and opinions. Being an excellent poet, Silverstein writes provocative, also difficult issues....expression and expressing them in a process growing kids can get. Poems of Silverstein further acknowledge for an open-ended conversation on topics of enjoying life.

Silverstein's other poem named "Listen to mustn't" that can be utilized when educating kids the Philosophy basics is clearing the point of creativity and enjoyment in life. That poem can be matched among the writings from the latest job, also be utilized when developing kids to create them. Instead of doing a different view, showing children what people should or can and cannot or should not take, make them understand and see that poem. Consider this a little. Later request them whatever that indicates to them. Hold open-ended problems that get them producing and directing their problems. A different famous poem to work would be "Masks." This poem would be great to utilize later the kids should have a reading on self-identity. Once people seem similar people have their personal views, this is necessary to show them not to protect these thoughts and fundamental issues.

The excellent point regarding Silverstein is his attractive, entertaining and Thoughtful poems. Utilizing each of his works would be a fabulous spot to offer growing kids to the

amazing world of entertainment, learning, and life and build a 'question-asking' person. Observing the world by its own cameras, and not people pre-ordered through different people, Comment by Tiffany Wong: ?

As we learn many things in the class reading about life, worries, thoughts, experiences, self-consciousness, belief, entertainment, creativity, and pleasure, all can be observed in the experience and life of Shel Silverstein. A pretty short marriage of Silverstein with Susan Hastings directed to the birth of a baby girl "Shoshanna" in the year 1970. Life of Silverstein wasn't without struggle, nonetheless; his wife died before the fifth birthday of his daughter. Due to the untethered and traveling lifestyle of Silverstein, his daughter lived with her uncle and aunt. Dejectedly, Shoshanna died at the age of eleven, in 1982, due to an aneurysm. Shel Silverstein had athe second baby, named Matthew, and Silverstein was observed executing very greater energy to be a member of his son's life that he did not do with his daughter. Visions of Silverstein proceed to attract the creativity of both adults and kids. His efforts can be viewed as essentially "a call to believe" and encourages students to get forward on a trip back to the opportunities that endured in life and childhood. His appreciation for the simplicity of an imagination of a kid is thematically common throughout the poetry and work of Silverstein. Comment by Tiffany Wong: So, how did his family life effect his creativity? How does this paragraph support your argument that Sliverstien has an autotelic personality? You're missing a lot of analysis from the course reading. Consider this: Person: Silverstein Field: Writing Domain: Children's Literature Without understanding or bringing in Csikszentmihalyi's system's model, your analysis is not quite hitting the mark.
