I’m currently in a class learning to be a children’s book writer and my assignment is a how to. I am taking the class cause I love to write fantasy stories. And I am required to open up my mind in other writing forms but I am just having a writers block. I can’t think of anything to write about. The age level is 8-12. Please if you have any ideas that would be great.

“There are no definitive statistics on tattoo removal, but Catherine A. Kniker, a senior vice president for laser manufacturer Candela, calculated that Americans may have 100,000 laser tattoo removal treatments this year,” Stated an article by Natasha Singer, writer for The New York Times. Thousands of Americans are beginning to consider tattoos as a way to improve their body image; several of them never consider the real meaning of their tattoos. With famous superstars and rap artists turning tattoo art mainstream, people with no doubt have began to consider tattoos as a way to enhance the image they want to give out about themselves. Americans should not get tattoos to improve their body image; doing so would make people face various tattoo stigmas that could have an effect on their social and economical status and without mentioning the possibility of emotional distress. Also, in consequence that the tattoo has little or no meaning to the person, they would eventually get bored of

and be forced to consider laser removal processes. Another reason to take into consideration is the standard of body image, like fashion, is it constantly changing and may greatly affect the way one might feel about ones tattoo over time.

Topic Sentence 1
Getting a tattoo to improve ones image will not only provoke co-workers and family to look at one from a different perspective but will also create a stereotype that might not be suitable for the lifestyle or work atmosphere one carries.

Topic Sentence 2
When people get a tattoo without a meaning it usually turns out to be for the sole purpose of enhancing their body image; a typical mistake they later might regret.

Topic Sentence 3
The perception of good body image constantly changes over the years and might effect the way society views your tattoo and what it reflects about you.

Suffering and Smiling….. Africa is hot. Why? …..So we can save it? …. Western views of the continent.

A few years ago, I was sitting on a plane when one of those ads came on. You know the type: some Sally Struthers wannabe standing next to a mud hut with sad folks huddled in the doorway. We’ve seen them a million times, and these days every celebrity seems to want to jump on the Save Africa bandwagon. (See Ricky Gervais’s take.) Because that is how most people in the West see Africa: A problem to be solved. By us.

My problem with this scenario is that, during several years living in and traveling through East and West Africa, I never saw anyone (without some deformity) who looked as miserable as the people on those charity shoots. As I walked past my neighbors’ huts, people yelled greetings, smiled, waved, laughed, asked what my news was, asked me for money and laughed when I said no. Then they invited me in for tea, killed a chicken, made me stay for three hours, eating till I was stuffed. But this warmth and generosity and humor are nowhere to be seen in those ads. They flatten the place I knew into a caricature of misery.

In Vanity Fair’s new Africa Issue, Binyavanga Wainaina, a great writer who broke out with a Caine Prize-winning travel story, (and who I interviewed last year for Tin House) makes much the same point in his article, Generation Kenya. “As I sit here in Upstate New York, and read the New York Times, or watch CNN,” he writes as current writer-in-residence at Union College, “Africa feels like a fevered and infectious place….This habit—of trying to turn the second largest continent in the world, which has 53 countries and nearly a billion people of every variety and situation, into one giant crisis—is now one of the biggest problems Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Ghana face.”

Not to mention the other 49 countries.

Wainaina’s piece is easily the best in the magazine, chronicling the story of Kenya in the 1990s, a time of protest and reform and economic rebirth and technological advance. Mostly his country was (and is) a place with hope, not because aid was pouring in, but because initiative took root. “We have learned to ignore the shrill screams coming from the peddlers of hopelessness,” he writes. “We motor on in faith and enterprise, with small steps. On hope, without hysteria.……”

Agent Smith asked:


“President Carter worked throughout the campaign to secure their release, including launching an ill-fated rescue mission in April 1980 that killed eight U.S. servicemen. Critics say the Reagan team was so concerned that Carter would gain a boost by winning their release just before the election, that his campaign manager and others negotiated privately with the Iranians to ensure that did not happen.”

Phillip asked:


Shortly after September 11th, 2001, there were many articles written internationally. There is one in particular that I am looking for. It was written by a Canadian writer who basically said that though the United States has helped other countries, they stood on their own on September 11th. He went on to say that The United States will rebuild, stronger and more unified than ever and to stand tall and proud because of who we are.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find this article? I did a search, but don’t know enough about it to be able to narrow it down. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

In an article appearing in Today’s Health a writer states that the average number of calories in a serving of popcorn is 75. To determine if the average number of calories in a serving of popcorn is different from 75, a nutritionist selected a random sample of 20 servings of popcorn and computed the sample mean number of calories per serving to be 78 with a sample standard deviation of 7.
