The Hunger Artist

After reading Franz Kafka's Hunger Artist, it disclosed the real meaning of what an artist is. The metaphorical act of hunger which conveys the grappling of a person(an artist) to see his craft having a satisfactory outcome. For me that the artist in the story did not find the proper outlet for his craft. He had the hard time doing it because he has to conform with the society which is indeed what we are experiencing in real life now. We tend to do things because this is how the people and the society dictate us. People tend to admire the art and the artist using the demands of the many. It is so difficult for the artist to partake his craft without the people appreciating it. An artist may experience ups and downs but still has the courage to show his craft as an expression of themselves. Just like how we live life. Life may be winsome and pleasing which we love most of the times,but this isn’t always the way things would be, it can also be as stormy as it is. Change is inevitable and the only thing that is constant in this world, we just have to face and enjoy it as long as we shared and expressed it right.
