True Beauty is flawed.

Even the most beautiful of people have flaws. No one is perfect and this what makes everyone special. I can't think of a single person who is completely perfect. Everyone has problems that make them unique and different. Think about it. Even the most beautiful of people is not perfect.

If a person was to be perfect with no imperfections inside or outside, she would be boring. She would be absolutely dull to be around. She would be nothing but a pretty face - a flat character. There would never be any problems and the "perfect" life would get very boring. There would never be any reason to use your mind because nothing is wrong. If people could be truly perfect they would stop growing as a person and then simply being alive would be a waste of time.

The perfectly beautiful person would be unattainable. It would be lonely because no one would ever bother to try except egotistical jerks. Being around that person would make people constantly feel not quite good enough. It would make people feel completely inadequate so even though the person was perfect and kind and beautiful no one would want to be around her because she would make them feel bad about themselves.

The fact that the person would be lonely and not growing as a person would make them flawed, therefore there is no perfection. People who try to be perfect too hard tend to make fools of themselves. They will try so hard they lose themselves. The need to be perfect looking has ruined so many good people. Trying to better one's self is normal but striving for perfection will only make them unhappy therefore imperfect. These people should just learn to love themselves and then their true beauty will shine through giving off a happier, livelier more perfect appearance.

Blogging in English 12..

When we blog we should be given multiple choices. There should be at least 2 options to choose from so that there is something everyone is interested in. A good topic would be to write about your favorite song: why you like it, how you first hear it and your favorite lyrics from it. Everyone likes music but it also gives you alot of options to be creative.

Every once in a while we should be given the opportunity to blog about anything as long as it is appropriate. It will be easier to express ourselves if we get to choose what we write about and it would show a little bit more about who we are and our personalities. We could write about sports, tv, websites, friends or anything that holds our interests.

Our blogs should be a way to tell a little bit about ourselves while writing interesting blogs. The questions and topics should be open ended so there is more room for creativity. It will make us think harder about what to write about.

The blogs should get an overall mark at the end of each term. That way, you have the whole term to improve. The blog should be one project not just a place to put little projects that are each gettting marked. If the blogs are marked at the end it takes away a little bit of the pressure you would get if every single blog you wrote got marked.

Super Powers.

If I could have any super power it would be invisibility. Seriously, it would be so useful. Sometimes I just want to disappear and with the power of inivisibility it would be easy. I could sneak around without getting caught which would be very useful if I felt like skipping or sneaking out. What happens when I do something incredibly embarassing? I could just make myself invisible and get out of there. In fact, I could get out of alot of sticky situations by just "disappearing." There are times when I just want to be alone with no one to bother me. I just want the world to forget me while I try to forget the world. If I could make myself invisible, no one would be able to find me while I wandered alone. I could do whatever I pleased and no one could stop me because they couldn't see me. I could walk around naked and have no one be able to see me. I wouldn't want to but if I did want to, I could.

The uses wouldn't just be selfish. I could, theoretically, sneak into the lairs of theifs and murderers and hear all there evil plans and then spoil them. I could throw things at bullies so the poor kids they are scaring could try and run away.

I would have to be careful though. Being invisible would be a big responsibility. I would have to make sure I never used my super power for wrong. I'm only human so eventually evil thoughts would start running through my head. I could use my power to steal, to listen in on private conversations, and to watch things I shouldn't be watching. Invisibility would be really helpful and fun but it that wouldn't mean it wasn't hard sometimes.
