Tuesday Write Blog Post: Reality T.V.

            Reality T.V. has a negative premises and is just overall not good. Many shows like Jersey Shore, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Keeping up with the Kardashians portray certain people, with no talent, doing stupid things to be funny and famous. Quite frankly it is sad. Jersey Shore shows young Adults going out and drinking and sleeping with anyone they can get their hands on. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo shows a young, obese girl who eats sugar all day long and says dumb things. People watch this for entertainment, but in no way whatsoever does this portray a true reality. It is not okay for people to think that the kinds of behaviors portrayed in these various shows are normal or acceptable. On the contrary, there arer some shows that do have a postive influence on people, helping them to chase their dreams, like Biggest Loser and So You Think You Can Dance, but shows like these are sparse and hard to find and also these shows contain a lot of unnessecary drama. Reality T.V., in conclusion, only has a negative affect on its viewers.

Introduction

Hi my name is Bella Salyer and this is my blog for English class! I'm 15 years old and I've never blogged before. Some of my hobbies include reading, dance, and shopping. My favorite book is Perks of Being a Wallflower  by Stephen Chbosky or An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. My writing goal for this year is to just become a stronger writer in general and expand my thoughts through my writing. One of my favorite quotes is "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." -Mahatma Gandhi.
