Tough Ted

Tough Ted

I have had this bear for a very long time,  Old objects and toys have been thrown away but this bear has stayed with me all of this time, I can't really explain why but I have always been fond it and I will never part with it. I obtained it from a charity stall from a craft fair when I was in the beaver cub scouts, I remember exactly where and I can even remember the old lady that sold it me. The teddy is somewhat different to your normal cuddly teddy, he sports a tattoo on his arm a bitten ear and awesome tank top.

I suppose it defines me as a person because I believe to be a tough individual, not so much in physical strength but in my will and determination in life to try and progress myself for a better future.

Looking at the culture, I think all humans have a object that we will hold onto that may describe our personality some way. I also think about what difference that money made when I bought it, the charity was Bernardo's so it could have helped a young child through tough times. To my surprise I also discovered how a teddy bear can be bought now, there are shops were you actually make your own personalised bear. Another example of how the world has become commercialised.
