...My biggest idol For me, an idol is not just an idol, it’s a hero. A person you can look up to and think, wauw, I want to be just like him/her when I grow up. And there is only one person I can think of. My idol is my grandpa. He was, is and will always be my hero. My grandfather was an admirable old man. His high bridge of the nose, broad forehead is just two things I will always remember, or that the lovely smile on his face, that no matter what always could but a smile on my face. In an age of 19 he was a soldier in the Danish army doing the World War II, he fought for his country against the German army. I remember him talking about it, he didn’t like it, but when talked, it was kind of scary to hear some of the thing he had gone through. After the army he decided to settle down with his dearest love, my grandma. They found a farm outside Thisted and they brought to kinds into the world, my dad and aunt. When I was a little girl, my grandpa was my hero. I was a hundred percent sure of that he could do anything in the world, and he could. He make me stop crying when I fell down from a tree, he taught me how to braid, he taught me to ride a bike like I said, he could do anything in the world. I grew up and he was still my hero. When I was upset with my parents he was always the first one I called. He always knew what to said to make the whole situation better, how to make me feel better. But he got old too of cause and in august 2010 he passed...

...The Voice and American Idol are two of many popular entertainment tv series. Audiences have only increased for each series as they continue to climb up the popularity ladder. However, despite their massive steps toward stardom each show has their own level of popularity. The Voice may be seen as more entertaining than American Idol, but every “perfect” thing has it’s flaws. American Idol has statistically been proven to be the best compared to The Voice due to the fact that the main focus is the contestants and their celebrity production rate. The Voice may have much more popular judges than it’s counterpart, but that may be their downfall. For the most part The Voice’s audience members merely watch the show because their favorite artist(s) are the judges, where as, American Idol’s judges are known but not to the extent as The Voice’s judges. “...the four celebrity “coaches” on the show...

...productions we have chosen to write about his X Factor franchise, Got Talent franchise and Pop Idol as this is the show to which he rose to fame and from this he got the idea to start his own shows. These programmes are all casting programmes. Millions of people on average watch these shows. On average ten million viewers watch X Factor UK each week, although this number is decreasing. Also when Ashleigh and Pudsey won Britain’s Got Talent in May 2012, an average of nineteen million people tuned into see the dancing dog. The shows are watched by both male and female and also the shows do not target any specific age group. Pop Idol first appeared on our screens in 2001. Simon was a judge on the first series. After surprising Simon Fuller the show producer, Simon then travelled to America to appear as a judge on the American version of Pop Idol. Pete Waterman a fellow judge on Pop Idol was furious when Michelle McManus won series two of Pop Idol in 2003. Pete believed Michelle did not look like a pop star even though she had an amazing voice. Many people watching this show would have been influenced by this as they would then feel that they could not follow their dream as they may not have been as small in sized like other pop stars. Simon did not agree with Pete though as he was behind Michelle from the beginning and was more interested in her voice and not her appearance. Simon quit Pop Idol...

...Good afternoon to my honourable teacher, Puan Rubi, and also my dearest classmate.Today I want to tell you a little about my favourite book titled L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad.Like Amilyn state yesterday,teenagers nowadays like to read love story,book and novel.I agreed with it because most of my novel are about love story.This book is not totally about love but still,there are some elements of love. Basically this book is about the author herself,Lauren Conrad,but some of the story are true and some are maybe just her imagination to make the story interesting.This story is about Jane and her best friend,Scarlett.They move from Santa Barbara to LA for certain reason.Jane has an internship with Fiona Chen who's a event planner and Scarlett studied at University of Southern California,known as U.S.C. They live like a normal teenage girl at first until one day,Trevor Lord,a producer of reality show met them and offer them to star in new reality show called L.A. Candy.The tv programme shows ups-and-down of Jane,Scarlett and two other girl’s life,name Madison and Gaby.This story also shows behind the scene of reality shows and ofcourse there are a lot of drama and some backstabbing in this story.

I really enjoyed this book so much .So,.if you...

...The Impact Reality Television Has On Our Youth Television serves nearly 30 hours of entertainment to children 8 to 18, weekly. Reality television is a phenomenon that is sweeping the globe. These programs are widely viewed by kids, tweens, and teens. Many of these kids idolize reality stars and mimic their every move and their vocabulary. This alleged reality is negatively affecting the well-being of children world-wide. Kids tend to imitate what they observe on television and these programs typically support the worst attributes of behavior. (Ludwig 2003). While reality television can be positive, parents should monitor the programs watched by their children due to the negative affects these shows contribute to children’s overall health. It is a known fact that television influences our lives and the lives of our children. Today, kids are watching more reality television and revering those they see. They are basing their lives, their wants, their desires on what they perceive as real on these programs. This influence is shown in lower self-esteem, poor level of respect displayed, and the ideals of happiness our youths possess. Research presented by Dr. Helen Street revealed that children who suffer from depression will believe beauty, wealth, and popularity leads to fulfillment. (Genesis Health, 2003). The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also shares concern that this exposure to reality media carries health risks to children. These risks include violent...

...Stefan Monsouir Eng. 106 / ERAU 17 MAY 2014 Persuasive Essay Rough Reality television today is destroying generation after generation of young people. You cannot turn on the television without seeing some type of drama in the form of fighting, someone finding out that their three year romantic online relationship was a lie, or even sixteen year old girls who got knocked up and think they have it all figured out until the reality sets in. The largest fan base for reality television is children and teenagers who are being negatively influenced by what they see and hear on these shows. One big problem with reality television is that it promotes violence. It does not matter if it is a competition cooking show, a group of random individuals living together, or a show about a pawn shop; there is always some type of fight happening. Whether it is a heated argument and both parties are in each other’s face yelling or in some cases there have been actual fights, it is like producers love the fact that there are fights on their shows because that is what boosts ratings and that’s what makes them money. Television producers actually manipulate situations to create tension and fights and even though producers don’t come right out and admit it, you can see it in the commercials for the show when all you see is the fights and the drama; it is what catches the eyes of the watcher and sparks the interest. Among the fighting and the arguing, the fact that people have such disrespect...

...The Penis The short story ”The Penis” is written by Hanif Kureishi. The short story is about a penis, which has been separated from its owner Doug, who we hear from later on. At first though we hear about a guy called Alfie who was “a cutter – a hairdresser – and had to get to work”. He is having breakfast with his wife, when she asks him what he did last night, and if he had a good time last night? Alfie can not remember what he did last night, he then looks in his wallet to examine how much money he had spent or if he has any cocaine left or anything else, which could give him a clue of what he has been doing. He finds something strange inside his pocket. In his pocket he finds a penis, with balls, and pubic hair. This appears very incongruous to me, because I had not expected that he would find a penis in his pocket, maybe cocaine, which Hanif Kureishi had prepared the ground to. Alfie considered how he should get rid of the penis. His instinct is to drop it in a litterbin, but then he remembers how his wife wants him to be more “business minded”, and more than anything wanted him to appear on television. After this little thought he then considers selling the penis to an art dealer, but he ends up throwing the penis over the side of a bridge. Alfies story is told by a limited omniscient point of view, and when we hear about Doug, which I will tell a bit about next, Hanif Kureishi turns the point of view and tells the rest of the story in an omniscient third-person narrators...

...Classify Similarities between the Hunger Games and American Idol In recent years, more people have become are enthusiastic to reality television show. American Idol is a popular reality television show, but there is irrationality in reality television show. Suzanne Collins, author, who wrote the Hunger Games, claims that she was influenced by reality show. Therefore, American Idol and the Hunger Games have similarities to claims in society such as survival game with only one winner, audience care, and media has been brainstormed people’s perspective. First, survival game has only one winner. In the Hunger Games, people kill others to survive. The game is for surviving, and the person who wins the game can be a rich person. It means only one can live well, but others should sacrifice for only one. Also, in American Idol, people compete against each other to win the competition. Winner can be a famous person, so this status enables to be him/her a singer, but others aren’t recognize by audience. Secondly, contestants have to have the audience care. In the Hunger Game, less audience care is directly connected to death because audience gives their food and supplies. Attractive to audience will give participate more support to win the Hunger Games easily. American Idol also needs audience care. In competition, contestants have to judged by their own skills, but attraction is more than their skills because if the audience likes contestants regardless of their skill, contestant...

...Braxton was told she would never be able to achieve the goals she once had. Toni had big dreams of finishing up her latest album as well as furthering her career. Toni and I are very much alike in this way; however, my goals and dreams consisted of going back to school to get a degree in criminal justice. Toni Braxton and I both vowed not to let lupus get us! Many a doctor told me to file for disability and just give in. My motivation and drive to succeed against all of the odds placed against me was too great for me to quit. One would think after a couple heart attacks, blood clots to the lungs, and the death of my daughter due to lupus would have made me listen - nope. Obviously giving up was not an option in my mind, and going back to college was something I really wanted in life. I knew in my heart that it is never too late to go back to college. In all of my years suffering from lupus, the motivation and drive to succeed in college and better my life for my family was always the winning factor. The desperation that came with wanting to tell my son my success story of going back to college at 34 years old was driven by just that, desperation. This was not a bad desperation, but yet a good desperation; desperation to be a college graduate and achieve my dreams. I truly believed a few times over the last 13 years that going back to college with lupus was not an option. Lupus patients can live a normal life depending on how severe each case is. However, I am one of...
