Protia Being Saved.

Have you ever had a person in your live that has saved you.. From being harmed? A women named Portia de Rossi had a eating disorder and was very ill. She was a mall and she didnt think that being her size was harmful. She thought to be a model you had to look like she did. She had anorexia and bulima for many years. But then she met a women named Ellen DeGeneres who got her on the right track. Before she got on the right track she use to eat as few as 150 calories a day with 20 laxatives mixed in. She spent hours on the trend mill.


Portia knew she was killing herself. The doctors diagnosis her having osteoporsis, her liver enzymes was inidicating cirrhosis and her organs barely functioning. But When she met Ellen her world flipped. Ellen helped her get on track and started eating right. Thanks to ellen, protia is now gettting her life healthy.

Thanks- Regan

I read this story from Star Magazine by Melissa Cronin.

My Bondage and My Freedom

I have been reading the story "My Bondage and My Freedom", in Mr. King's english class. It is a story by Fredrick Douglass and talks about slavery. Fredrick Douglass explains how he was a slave and had barely any rights. He was a slave when he was young to the Auld Family. The mistress of the Auld's started teaching Douglass how to read. But when the master found out, it soonly ended. The master told the mistress that teaching a slave how to read, will make him useless. Once a slave learns what is out there, they start rebelling.
This story has taught me a lesson, that slavery was torture. What slaves went through to live was unnecessary. Did people that had slaves ever think about what they went through.. Did they wonder if they were the slaves how they would like it.. Those people thought it was necessary to have a slave. They never thought about what slavery really was. Slavery was unfair in many ways, and people need to understand that.
