                                                      Sparky – Charlie Brown

                                                                                      The Peanuts gang

A story is told about a boy named Sparky. For Sparky school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school. Receiving a flat zero in the subject, he distinguished himself as the worst physics student in the school’s history. Sparky also flunked Latin, algebra and English. He didn't do much better in sports. Although, he managed to make the school's golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was also consolation match but he lost that too.

throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students. It’s just that no one cared that much. He would be astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. There’s no way to tell how he might have done at dating since Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down.

Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. So he rolled with it. Sparky had made up his mind early in life that if things were meant to work out, they would. Otherwise he would content himself with what appeared to be his inevitable mediocrity.

However there is one thing that was important to Sparky - drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. ln his senior years of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. They were turned down. Despite this particularly painful rejection, Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist.

Upon graduating from high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject matter for cartoons was suggested. Sparky drew the proposed cartoon. He spent a great deal of time on it and on all the other drawings he submitted. Finally the reply came from Disney Studios; he had been rejected once again, it was just another loss for the loser.

So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons. He described his childhood self- a littIe boy loser and chronic under achiever. The cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. For Sparky, the boy who had failed every subject in the eight grades and whose work was rejected again and again was Charles Schulz. He created the "Peanuts". Comic strip and the little cartoons boy whose kite would never fly and who never succeeded in , kicking the football - Charlie Brown.
