Plastic Surgery is Dangerous

Look around you. You will see many actors and entertainers, but do they have something in common? Yes, they do. Their faces look pretty similar. That’s because of plastic surgery. These days plastic surgery has become a big issue, not only to actors and entertainers but also for the citizens. I am going to argue that plastic surgery is dangerous and I’ll tell you the reasons why.

Have you ever been hurt or had an accident while having a surgery? If yes, then you would know and if no, you should still know. While having a surgery and there are risks of an accident. It is very dangerous and the patient can get harmed and die. Plastic surgery is also a surgery, so if there is an accident the person who did plastic surgery can look worse than before. According to a person who did plastic surgery in a Seoul surgery clinic, her nose was supposed to stand but became crooked to the left side. Although the court said that the clinic should return all the money to the person, but they only returned 70 percent of the money paid. Also, in KBS news, there was an interview. The woman who had the interview showed her high school picture which was much prettier than now. She regretted that she had plastic surgery because of the accidents.

Plastic surgery is not only dangerous for your facial looks but also for our health. For example, having nose surgery can lead you to heart attacks because you have problems breathing after. According to the doctors from the GNG clinic they because of the side effects it can cause you trouble to breathe. You may think that these are rare health problems but actually, in the survey of the topic “side effect” health problems about 2000 people per year have problems.

             People who support plastic surgery say that with plastic surgery, you can become prettier for many jobs such as models, flight attendants; you need to be pretty to get that job. However, these days being pretty aren’t everything. Many jobs including flight attendants have to be smart too because they test your ability to get that job so we shouldn’t do plastic surgery to just become pretty.

             In summary, I still think that plastic surgery is bad. Even though you think you can become prettier after it, there are accidents happening. I think that instead of having plastic surgery, to become prettier we should be satisfied with what you have. So after you have read my opinion, on plastic surgery, what do you think? Thank you.

The Weather War (Drabble)


Drop. Drop. Drop. Rain drops on the windowsill. Red boots come out and splash into the puddles the rain has made.

 Clap! Thunder rumbles and lightning blinks. The sky turns gray, more thunder roars and rain drops.
The red boots go in and the sky turns black.
They don’t seem to go away. Tornado joins them and ruins everything in its path.
Finally sun comes out bringing a rainbow. Afraid of its shining colors rain, thunder, lightning and tornadoes run away.
Sun shines over the ruined areas and the rainbow brings people out with its colors.
The war is over.

Compare and Contrast(Merida and 3 other princesses)



Hi!~ I’m Whipping Cream^^. Last week Our writing class watched a movie about a Disney princess. This princess is different from the other princesses. The other princesses like dresses and being pretty and have a love; however in this movie I learned that princesses don’t all have to be like that. They each have their own freedom and choice. So today from the Disney princesses(Jasmine, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, The Little Mermaid, Belle, Pocahontas, Mulan, The Frog Princess)I have chosen 3 princesses and will compare the differences and similarities with Merida.



On Friday I watched the movie “Brave”. Brave is about a princess named Merida trying to change her fate and she changes it by knowing about her mother’s love. Merida is a princess who was different from when she was born. She enjoyed archery the most and didn’t act like a princess. But Merida isn’t the only Disney princess. Today I’m going to compare Merida with 3 other Disney princesses.
1)     Trapped VS Freedom
-       Merida and the princess Rapunzel both long for freedom, instead of staying long dreadful days in their towers or castle. Merida always finds a little of freedom when going in the forest and shooting arrows, however Rapunzel stays in the tower dreaming of freedom until she captures a boy, who helps her to get freedom. Till then she keeps having the same routine every day.
2)     Family VS Love
-       In almost every Disney princess tale the princess grows up with a wicked stepmother or witch then grow up a handsome prince kills the bad guy and they both get married and live happily ever after. But not this time. What would you choose if it was love or family? Merida chooses her family’s love rather a boy’s love; however the Little Mermaid “Ariel” chooses her love for Eric, over her father.
3)     Magic VS the Real life
-       A wisp or a magic carpet? A witch or a genie? Magic or the real life? What would you choose? Merida sees a is(a type of magical creature such as a pixie or fairy)that leads her to the witch’s cottage, which changes her fate with magic. The princess Jasmine from Aladdin is in the same situation as Merida. Aladdin changes into a prince with the help of a genie, magic carpet and magic as well.

In conclusion, Merida isn’t a normal princess. She’s different from the other Disney princesses. She doesn’t like to be trapped inside some place or be told what to do. Merida is the kind of princess who wants to run free, not wear dresses and live freely. Unlike Rapunzel who is trapped,Ariel who chooses a boy’s love over her father, but Jasmine has similarities with Merida.



                        -Lessons from the movie-
                           *Change your fate
                           *Be brave




                           *NEVER take potions from a witch

Mirror Mirror

Dear Mirror,


Mirror, mirror on the wall.I look at you , you look at me, we're old friends
You come in all shapes and sizes. Shining with colors before my eyes.
Your parents are long and tall on the other hand your friends are short and small.
You're darling, bright and round always reflecting me when I'm around.


Happy days we share, sad days we cry. We all share the same days cause your reflection is mine. Your parents show my whole body. Your friends show me just my face, but you show whatever I want at anytime I want.

In the morning I use you from my phone. At night I carry you from my pocket.
I carry you wherever I go even one in my pencil case.
I never get tired of you, I never get bored of you.

I saw you yesterday, I saw you today, I will be seeing you tomorrow.
NO matter what, nothing can tear us apart. You reflect me always.
Always by my side, reflect me a picture in the back, reflect me in the front.


                                                                                                     


                                                     The Fairest of all 
                                                          You RIm

Introduction

Hi! My name is You Rim Lee but you can call me Kelly whichever you prefer.First let me introduce myself since you don't know much about me. I am going to turn 14 next month, I have lived 8years in Korea. 5years in Busan and 3years in Dongtan, but now I live in Suwon. I attend Sannam Elementary school.(I don't like it) My dream is to become an artist and a fashion designer. I have had these dreams for almost all my life. I don't think that they have ever changed. The weird thing is that if I want to become a fashion designer I have to be interested in shopping but I don't really enjoy shopping or like it. Now how about if I tell you 3 things that most people don't know about me. 

3 THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
1)5
2)Sim Chung-I
3)Whipping cream

5 means how long I have stayed abroad. I have lived abroad for 5 years in the Philippines in Manila. 
If I say Sim Chung-I you might think of the good daughter who fell into the sea for her father, but no. Actually it's my grandmother's dag's name. She has a relationship with me because she listens to me the most. 
The last word is sort of like a nickname my roommates call me. They call me whipping cream because at first we were going to call each other nicknames, then I told them one of my friends call me cream so they started calling me Whipping Cream.

These are the 3things that you might not known about me^^
