Claude's Obstacles
Claude Monet had a struggle. He had always wanted to be an artist. Before he could be an artist Claude Monet faced a lot of obstacles. Whenever he entered his paintings in the Salon they mostly were rejected. Also Claude's father and his aunt never encouraged him to do better in art they were always so focused on Claude to go into the grocery business. He overcame that and just kept on painting and working harder but after he died his paintings were going in the Salon. Even though people would think that Claude Monet would want this but he didn't because he never achieved his goal until after he died.
