Dedication Essay
English is a controversial subject. This is because the English vocabulary has no standard definition. All these words are interpreted according to an individual’s personal experience. Very many other factors are also considered. The word ‘dedication’ is a perfect example to look at. The word has very many acceptable definitions.
Dedication is passion. Don’t tell me that you don’t know Ludwig Van Beethoven, the German composer and pianist. Beethoven displayed his musical talents at a very early age, after being taught by his father, Johann van Beethoven. At the age of 21, he moved to Vienna where he sharpened his skills and became a virtuoso pianist. All this is normal and does not portray passion. Beethoven’s hearing became poor at the age of thirty and by his death time, he was entirely deaf. Wikipedia informs that he gave up conducting but kept on composing music! This is because he suffered from tinnitus, a ringing in his ears probably because he dipped his head in water to stay awake. Beethoven had to turn around to the audience so as to see the applause after his presentation because he could not hear. Is it not passion that he even went on composing and discussing with friends about music in his conversation diaries?
Think of dedication, and parallel it with loyalty. Do they seem to imply the same?…
