Conclusion.


As a conclusion bad behavior is published because it gives stars more publicity, people find bad behavior entertaining, and magazines make more money. So yeah bad behavior is more interesting.  So what’s your definition of why bad behavior is published? 

4th Paragraph.

Finally, celebrities bad behavior is covered more in the news because it gives the magazine money. They don’t care if they ruin a star’s reputation; they just want money. Since people like what they are reading people buy more and more because of all the fake information inside. “Magazines make money because [photograohers] just want to make a quick buck…” (9).

3rd Paragraph.


Secondly, people find good behavior boring. No one really cares about good publicity. People like to see people getting arrested, on drugs, partying and other “juicy stuff” as the publishers say. “There is no such thing as bad publicity…” says Oscar Wilde ,nut then reasearchers show that “Bad publicity get’s people more intrigued into the story or more entertained by the story [also] good and proper behavior get publicity too but not as much as bad [Behavior]…”(paragraph 3).

2nd Paragraph.


Celebrities like fame. It doesn’t matter where they get their fame at. Mostly most of the fame of “stars” is because of something negative. Celebrities like bad publicity because it gives them attention, They behave this way because with bad behavior comes a lot of fame and with more fame comes more money, and more money means you become rich. Like take Lindsay Lohan as an example. Lindsay Lohan is famous for being a drug addict. She acts this way because “[Lindsay] has been exploited [used] from a very young age” (1). Maybe also she is likes the attention ,and she keeps doing these things that are theoretically feeding her attention. So celebrities like attention [publicity] even if it’s good or bad. 

My first paragraph.


                                                Is Bad Behavior Good?
“Extra! Extra! Lindsay Lohan Got arrested AGAIN!!” that is what people always see in magazines not anything with good behavior it’s always bad. Celebrities’ bad behavior is always covered in the news stories than positive behavior because it gives more publicity to the “star”,  people find bad behavior more interesting than good behavior, and makes magazines earn much more publicity and money.

Prompt 1,IA 2

The news never show good news anymore. They only show the worst news making people look bad. Like Lindsay Lohan, they always show her in jail or drinking, partying, and doing drugs,but they never when she helps a charity or helps orphans and other stuff like that. Many people like reading bad news because it amuses them. It distracts them from their own bad behavior and think THEY are better.

   The simplicity of Go Animate is very high (5) ,because the only thing you need to do is like make a character, choose characters, write their diolaugue, choose their actions,and make a scene. It's that easy.

    In the other side Comic Sketch is a bit more difficult thing to do, because you NEED to draw your character with the computer mouse which is very hard. So thats why it got a very low score in simplicity.

 In Go Animate you create them. Just pick the characters, type what you want them to say and choose their actions and your done.

The characters for both got the highest score because they both have as many characters as you want, in Comic Sketch you have to litterally draw them.

  Voce might sound a little weird but you can make them talk.(the characters in Go Animate) but the voice sounds very autotuned and sounds a bit weird, but it's pretty easy. That's why it got a 3.

  Comic Sketch got a very low rating because you CAN'T talk in it. It's more like speech bubbles. Which is pretty boring. Which can bore the sixth graders and then they loose interest and don't pay attention at all.

I decided to make a animation movie, because I'm a visual learner and I love movies. I chose Go Animate and Comics Sketch. Go Animate is really cool. I liked it very much, because I don't need to draw in the computer it's more like writing dialogue and choosing the little stick figures actions. As in Comics Sketch I liked it because you can draw all kinds of things, I really dont like the fact that I have to draw in the computer, because lets be honest it's really hard to draw in the computer. I chose go animate because it's simple, fun and very cool.
