Essay Prompt

          Sue Jozui says, "We should boycott trick advertising and legislate rules and guidelines for advertisers."  I agree and disagree with what she wants to be done with advertisers.  I think that it is wrong for people to trick other people into buying a certain product.  It's wrong for them to be tricking us and feeding us lies about how there product is better or how good the product is.  It's also bad because nowadays you can't trust anyone even the news because they lie for these big companies.
          These companies paid millions of dollars to famous actors for doing this advertisements. Because we see this famous actor using this products we just buy it without even knowing what is in the product or if it really works.  Also we have to take in factor that this is the peoples jobs so we shouldn't penalize the advertisers but the company that allows such deceiving methods of advertising .  What people have to understand is that all-in-all you shouldn't be so easily deceived by this type of commercial cause it's so obvious.  Another thing about taking away these types of advertising would be that most commercials today are deceiving.
          Jozui is arguing that advertisers make us believe that celebrities use products or consume products to persuade us into buying them. She is suggesting that we should boycott this type of advertising. I agree with Jozui, the product may not even be good at all but because a celebrity gives a testimony we fall for the advertising and buy the product. This is another reason why we should boycott to not be fooled anymore by these advertisers. We should boycott to help others too, if we start boycotting then other people will notice and they will also no longer be fooled. We see famous people advertising anything like food, cars, and even toothpaste.
          If we boycott, these advertisements may start to fade. Almost every famous advertisement has a famous person in them. They use the famous person just to catch our attention and persuade us.

Autobiography


        In a mirror is where you find a reflection of your apparence, but in a heart is where you find a reflection of your soul. What should matter the most is how we see ourselves. Sometimes we may not see the beauty inside is, sometimes we might need to see it through someone else's eyes. We should all live our own life not someone else. Be unique and don't compared yourself with others. My name is Julissa. I am 16 years old I'm from El Salvador.
   
         In my life I have bad and good experiences, but a fantastic life overall. These experiences help me to be happy, and I learn from them every day of my life. I started kindergarten when I was 4 years old and I finished it at 6 years old. In the kindergarten, I had very good times. Later, I started elementary school when I was 6 years old. I remember school very well, because at first I was so scared of the boys. They were bigger than I was. However, I made friends there and I liked to study, do my homework, play with my friends, and talk with them about cartoons on television. In fact, I really enjoyed this time in my childhood. Exactly a month before I turn 7 my mom moved to the United States and my dad left. Even though I lived with the rest of my family it was really hard for me to be without my mom. When I turned 9 I finally got to see her again.

I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a french woman, and whose present four sons have four wives of different nations. He is an American."  This explains that not all Americans are suppose to be native to the United States in order to be considered as Americans. And those who are not native make a lot of sacrifices to make it to the United States, to complete their trip to America.

A true American is someone who reaches there goals and if to reach their dreams they have to migrate to another country they should not be treated different because they are doing the impossible to  make their dreams come true. There are many people in America and they all have different dreams.

Many people, most of the people that come from foreign countries sacrifice many things in order to become an American.
