"If men don't have to control, women won't have to be controlled."

This quotation is from Emma Watson's speech on gender equality.

This quotation is important to me, because it means that men and women can be equal. Men and women deserve to be treated the same.

This means that men don't always have to be the leaders. Men don't always have to lead, control, be the best, or do everything themselves. Sometimes being a leader causes stress and pressure, and can cause mental illnesses. They are afraid to ask for help, because of the qualities of being a "man".

Men expect women to be the supporters. In the quote, "Women won't have to be controlled", means that women don't always have to be the supporters. Every now and then, they can change roles. Women can be the leaders, and men can be the supporters, too.

The picture goes with this quote, because it shows that men and women are the equal, holding hands, neither the man or woman higher, nothing to show inequality. The picture shows equality for them man and woman, neither better than each other. This picture shows that men and women are equal.

Keep your face to the sunshine, and you cannot  see a shadow.
1) I like this quote, because it reminds me to stay positive. It's important to stay positive.
2) It means that there's always a bright side, and you can't see the bad side. Always stay positive.
3) I think this picture goes with the quote, because the sunshine is like positive. All you see is the sun, the bright side.
