Inspiration thingy Rough Draft
Every person in this world has someone who is an inspiration to them. One of an unknown number of people who inspire me is Tyra Banks. Yes, she may talk about herself incessantly, and say weird things too, but besides all that she is a good role model. Tyra started the TZONE week-long camp in 1999 to help teenage girls with self esteem, reinforce positive values and to encourage them to resist peer pressure. She has helped empower many girls and young women. More recently, when Tyra Banks launched the Tyra Show, she began giving power to women more publicly, through television. On her hour long show, she helps women and girls with body image issues, among other things that help to better people. In our society, today, body image is a very important thing. Girls’ ideal body images have come to be ones of impossibly stick thin models. Tyra has addressed this, and I am in agreement with her- you do not have to be skinny to be beautiful. Beauty comes from your attitude and how you present yourself to the world; it’s not just your body. Tyra is pretty, funny, smart and likes to do good things for other, more unfortunate people; that's why I chose to write about her. Tyra Banks has helped so many girls with so many things, which is why she is inspiring to me.

I enjoyed that you searched up facts, like the TZONE week. Its also cool that you like her for what you see her as, not what other people think.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any questions. If this were my paper I would separate it a little bit more, but otherwise I loved it!
I liked how you gave really good reasons to pick her as a role model.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a question.
and if it were my paper I would.....I don't know it was really good, but I i guess breaking it up a little would be nice.
This was a great paper, and i really enjoyed reading it. I liked the facts you researched, and like ashely said, I like how you like her for what you see, not what others see. I love all the reasons you gave for liking her, they are all great. I would maybe chose some more traits that you like instead of facts that you like. That would help better separate the paper too. This was fun to read and i really enjoyed everything about it. Great job, as always Leah!

I liked that you went more in-depth than just saying simple stuff, like explaining what she does on the show instead of just saying she has a show. I have no questions. If this were my paper, I would break it into chunks, like Ashley and Kevin said.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your essay I don't have any questions because you answered all the questions I was thinking of. If this was my paper, I would
ReplyDeletemaybe have broken it up into paragraphs and would have made it a little bit longer.
I liked how you got all the facts and explained what she does on her show. Also I liked all the reasons that you gave that you liked her for.
