Journal8: what are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous?

I think that to advantages of being famous is what the person can get a lot of money. And what human network spread. Famous person have to get engaged many people. And what the person is welcome by other people. Because famous people are invited, they can be involved in many events. To disadvantage of being famous is having no privacy. Famous people have to care paparazzi and have to care about other’s eyes. So famous people tend to get stressed out. Instead famous people get a lot of many, they have no privacy and they can not spend time.

Reflection on my writing so far this semester

I learned about many things in this class. I did some brainstorming, made outlines and wrote essays about university life. First, I wrote essay by myself. Next, not by myself but I did it by pair. I commented my classmate's blog about text of essay. I had to comment with question or my opinion. So it was difficult that I commented poor essays. And then, I received many explanations especially how to use computer. It is adding links to my blog, making drive and sharing it. About drive, I made proto-portfolios, my bibliography and my essays. Because of explanations like that, I thought that I had learned to use some workings. And, in this class, there were many submitted homework which are about book reviews, typing and essays.
