Is Fame Worth It?

Is fame worth it? Every child dream is to be famous when they are older. Everybody wants to have time in the spotlight. But do they really know what the sacrifices are to be famous. If you walk outside or go down to the shops paparazzi are everywhere. Being famous is meant to be amazing but is it really?

Firstly, all your privacy goes away. The paparazzi is always around the corner. The media posts things that u might not like them to know, all your family is interrupted by paparazzi, the media, social media and fans. So is being famous what it is cut out to be?

Secondly, celebrates are meant to have a great reputation, appearance and being a good role model. Such as not doing the right thing unlike drugs, gambling and booze all contribute to being a good role model.

Lastly, does fame get you happiness? Part of fame means that you get to spend with your family and friends, and have a normal life. If you walk outside the media is always there.

Is fame really worth it? You have no privacy. Do you really have any happiness when you are famous? After all we are only human. :)

Holes Book Review

Holes is an amazing book with lots of conflict which is set in Texas. It all started 100 years ago with Elya Yelnats and a pig. There is a wide range of characters, some are mean, some are nice and lots in the middle. It jumps back from the past to the present and it all weaves together towards the end.

Holes has many different and interesting characters with two friends who uncover the mysteries of  Camp Green Lake. Stanley Yelnats is accused of stealing Clyde Livingston’s shoes given a choice Camp Green Lake or Jail. At camp green lake there are 6 people in group D.Every day they wake up and dig a hole % feet dig and 5 feet wide there are a lot of different personalities.

The events from the past and the present meet up towards the end. The boys thought that they were sent to Camp Green Lake to build character but soon they find out that instead they were there to find the hidden treasure left by the feared Kissin Kate Barlow!

My favourite character would be Zero because he has a lot of personality and is very different.

Holes is an amazing book and you will be question what you know…..
