I Want To Be A Super Model



I want to be a Super Model


By Marissa Stephens


Models, they are beautiful, famous, and they make lots of money or at less super models. To be a super model you have to have the looks. Looks are everything to agencies, but how you take a picture is even more important. To be a super model you have to have a great personality. Most of all you can’t be shy or be afraid of anything. Super models must be outgoing and be ready to walk that catwalk.
I want to be a super model and live the glamorous life. I want to be famous and be all over to magazines. I want to get rich. I got what it takes to be a super model. Being a models will help me a lot. I will be able to help my family. I going to show everybody who didn’t believe in me, that I made it and I’m living my dream. My dream is to be a super model and I going do whatever it take to be one.
Looks are what I have and I definitely know how to use them. People tell me that I should be a model. They tell me all the time that I’m beautiful. I love it when people tell me I’m beautiful, it makes me feel good, I want to show the world. A lot of people have told me that I’m really beautiful and that I could be a model. I think my looks are rare and hard to come by. I have green eyes, which are always sexy. I’m tall and slender, about 5’10" I would say. Pretty face, a smile that will light up a room, and the softest hair that you could ever feel, I got it all. There all kinds of models and they all have different looks.
I have to say that when it comes to the model world the most important thing is being able to sell a product. Victoria Secret’s model like Adrianna Lima takes pictures for lingerie. She take good pictures, there for she can sell the product, which is lingerie. There are a lot of different kinds of models, and everybody has a different look. All models must be photogenic, and I’ve been told that I am very photogenic. Taking a good picture for a product is the key to selling it. Ads are everywhere and a lot of them have models in them. I feel like if I can take a good picture then I can sell the product, and selling the product is the most important thing. So more people will buy the products.
To be a super model you must have a great personality. Have a great personality will help you get more jobs, because people will love you. Models with great personality, which means being nice and easy to work with, you have to love to have fun and go to parties. All my friends have told me that I have a great personality. I love to have fun, party, and most of all I love to model. I’m an easy person to work with and I take direction good.
Being a super model means you can’t be shy. Super models must take good pictures, there for it helps if you’re outgoing. Super models do a lot of thing like the catwalk, photos for magazines, and commercials. There’s no time to be shy or your career over. I am very outgoing, like Tyra Banks she has 2 television shows; America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show. It’s also not good to be shy about your body, there will be time when you might have to dress in front of people at shows.
Be a model is a hard job. You will be away from you family and friends. You’ll be in the limelight and every body will be in you business. I know I can take everybody in my business because their all in it now. It will be a lot of work, but I know I can do it. I’m ready to be a super model. It always been a dream of my to life the famous life. And I’m going to work my hardest to make it in this business. Like a lot of famous models ,I going to be like them someday. When I do I’m going be great.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find


A Good Man Is Hard To Find
By Flannery O'Connor

1. Write a 2-3-paragraph response to the story you read. Please focus more on how you felt about the story than writing a summary.


This is a messed up story, but it was good. I like this story it had a lot of funny part in it. I never hard of the term "pickaninny" and its was messed up how the grandma called that black kid that. I think the kids, John Wesley and June Star was some bad little kid. Before I read this story I thought it was going to be a love story because of the title "A Good Man Is Hard to Find". The story wasn’t anything like I thought it would be. The story had badly little kids, a quite mother who didn’t speak much, a plan dad, and the grandmother who was just selfish. The grandmother didn’t really think about anyone else in the story, just herself.
The grandmother was the cause of what happen to them all. I think that if the grandmother would have just gone on the ride and didn’t say anything they all would have stayed alive. The grandmother tick the kids into thinking what she wanted to think, and got them to go to a house. There wasn’t even a house that’s the messed up part about it. She should have calmly told him that they weren’t a house and maybe they all would be a live now. I thought that it wasn’t that sad when the grandma died, because she should have been trying to talk them out of killing all of them instead she just thought of her self. I feel sorry for the children but they were still bad children. I really thought this story was good I like story that have ending that you wouldn’t except.



2. What was the subject of the story? What was the theme? Look at the examples above if you need to. What do you think about what the author was trying to reveal about the subject? Do you agree with the author? Answer these questions in a short paragraph.


The story subject was about a family going on a trip. One of the themes of the story was to live your life the way you want to you going to died in the end anyway. I think the author show a man who had this way of life, but I don’t feel that way I think people should live a good life and be happy living. They shouldn’t take away other people’s happiness


3. How does the author's words support the theme they are trying to convey. In other words, how can you tell what the author thought about the subject, and how can you tell what the author was hoping you would think when you finished the story. Make sure you provide some direct evidence from the story to support you r response.


You can tell just by the title " A Good Man Is Hard To Find," In the story there was a bad man name misfit. So that just tell you that good men are hard to find. Also in the story they was a man named Red Sam, and the grandma told him " Because you’re a good man!" she told him this because he let two people work for him but they didn’t show. I thought the author was good in supporting her theme.


4. Think of your favorite movie. Explain the subject of that movie, and then the theme. How does the person who created this movie deliver the theme? Describe the themes that let you know how the author feels about the subject and convinces viewers to feel the same.



Kiki's Delivery Service is my all time favorite it was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. In this movie Kiki is a witch trying to make it on her own. The theme is that if you never give up you can do anything. In the movie Kiki went though a lot she forget how it fly, that was a big part of her job. I the end she believe and got her ability to fly back.

The One Who Got Away.

1.Write a 2-3 paragraph summary/response to what you have read. Please be sure to concentrate more on your feelings about the story rather than simply summarizing what happened.

My short story was about a man name Traci Edwards that was almost the twelfth victim of Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer is a cannibal who went down in history for his killings. My story was a little confusing at the beginning; it talks about a freelance reporter Denny Johnson who was trying to get an interview with Traci Edwards. Denny got his chance to interveiw Traci, but for a price. He offered Traci $1,000 if he would meet Denny for an interview. Traci meet Denny and he bought a friend along.The interview took place in a hotel room. Denny asked Traci to start off just by telling his story. Denny gives Traci $500 up front and would give him the rest after he was done telling his story. Traci smoke a cigarette and started his story.He first told how Jeffrey came up to him in the mall and asked him if he wanted to party? . Traci thought it was a good ideal at the time. Jeffery told him that they would get some girl and beer. Traci really wanted to go then after he heard their will be free beer. Traci never thought that Jeffrey might be gay. Traci said, "the kind of neighborhood Jeffrey lived in would never tolerated him. They jump guys like that over on his block." The weird thing about what his telling us is that Jeffery offer his victims money so he could take sexy picture of them, but Traci didn’t tell us nothing about this.Lately that day Traci and Jeffery want back to Jeffrey’s apartment. Traci said that Jeffery just need to change his clothes and then they leave. As they walk down the hall, Traci begun to smell a nasty smell as they got closer to Jeffrey’s apartment. Traci asked "Damn, what’s that stink? Jeffery just brushed it off. Traci told Jeffery "Lets just grab a beer and get out of there." Jeffery told Traci that it was the sewer. Traci thought that he was telling the truth. In Jeffery apartment were a lot of drawings of man but Jeffery just told Traci that they were for the health club.I thought this story was nasty but their were some really good parts in the story. I like the part when they were in Jeffrey’s apartment and Jeffery try to kill Traci. I like that Traci fought for his life and in the end he got away. I think the nasty part was when Traci saw the hand. I think Jeffery was just chillin’ in his bed one night and got the hand and was just eating it. That’s nasty.


2. Explain what you think the author's purpose was for writing this story.What do you think he or she wanted readers to come away from this story thinking? Your answer should be between 2 and 3 paragraphs, and the best responses will include some direct evidence from the story.

The author was trying to tell us about an article that was done on the almost twelfth victim of Jeffrey Dahmer. I think he want tell us about it because it is a very good story about how the victim got away. I think people should read this story because they should never just let anyone try to kill them, they should always fight for their life.I think the author also wanted use to know to never give up. If your caught in something like this, fight you’re hardest to get away. I also so think the author wanted people to know about what Jeffery did with the man, and what was it like for them. In the story a lot of red flags went up, and in real life if we feel like something isn’t right we should just go with that feeling.


3. Why do you think it is important to read about moments in other people's lives? Why are these stories so popular?Are their instances in your life that would be helpful to other people to read about?
I think it important because learning about other people’s lives can tell you a lot about your own life. If their life is a lot like you own you’re going to want to read about it. I think that knowing that people, not just you, go thought difficulty situation make you feel better about your life. I think a lot of people like to read story like these because they can relate to them and also compare them to they own lives.


1. Write a 2-3-paragraph response to the article you chose. What information stuck out to you the most?
The article was very good, I thought a lot of the stuff it was saying about gambling was true. I think that parents shouldn’t let their children play gambling games, because they’ll grow up and have big gambling problems. I think its ok to let you children play card games. I think that the article really got the point across about playing poker and you’re a child.I think that even gambling game, not just poker is wrong for children. They are many different games for children to play that will keep them out of trouble. I think that allowing your kid to play gambling games is maybe showing the you might have a problem yourself. I like in the article the part where the told you about warning signs of gambling. Being able to tell the signs will help stop the problem before it gets to late.

2. Two Quotes/Two Questions – Please pick out two quotes that for some reason you find to be important. Then go back through the article and come up with two questions that you have about what you read.
"What these parents may not know is that boys and girls who gambled before age 20 were three times as likely to become addicted to gambling as those who didn’t, and of teenage gamblers, 50% are likely to binge-drink, and 75% are likely to smoke marijuana."
How did you find this information?
"According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, about 80 percent of boys age 17 and younger have gambled at least once within the past year.
"Why are their more boys with this problem?

3. What is the main idea of the article you just read? That more teenagers then people think have a gambling problem.4. List at least three details the author of the article used to support the main idea you identified in #3
" people under 17 were twice as likely as adults to develop a gambling problem. "When you are finished, publish all your responses to your blog, and then leave a comment to this post telling me to check your work.
