"Think of all the beauty that’s still left in and around you and be happy."
—from The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank

Even in difficult circumstances, some people focus on the positive aspects of life. Think carefully about this statement.

Write an essay stating your opinion on whether a person can choose to be happy. Be sure to —
• state your position clearly
• use appropriate organization
• provide specific support for your argument
• choose your words carefully
• edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling

Answer:

A person can absolutely choose to be happy. It is often easy to look at someone like Anne Frank and say that she was in a situation where one can't be happy. But, Anne Frank has showed us that happiness is not reliant upon circumstance. In incredibly difficult circumstances one has every right to feel negative emotions. The most important thing is that we remember that even though we experience negative emotions we shouldn't let them overrun us. We should accept our circumstances, experience our emotions,and then choose happiness.

Floating Entertainment
During the mid-19th century, before television or movies existed, people enjoyed forms of entertainment that are no longer common today.
For example, people who lived in areas along the Mississippi River that were far from large cities depended on showboats. Showboats were boats
on which plays were performed
An actor named William Chapman was the first person to build a showboat. He called his showboat the "Floating Theater." Actors lived on
the boat and traveled along the river. The showboat stopped at small towns to perform plays.
Showboats were very popular but were discontinued when the Civil War began in 1861. They became popular again in the late 1870s.
However, by the early 1900s, many settlements along the Mississippi had grown into larger towns with dance halls and movie theaters. As a result,
Mississippi showboats began to lose their appeal. By 1910, people were heading to movie theaters big time.

Which revision of this section of dialogue best shows the narrator’s feelings? When I open the cover, the smell of fresh paper wafts up to greet me and the crisp, open page fills me with an exquisite sense of possibility. When I first open the notebook, I take care to crease the cover gently so that it’s nice and flexible, and then I can enjoy writing without fussing. I’m happy about the notebook because now I can get started on writing down the song that’s been floundering in my head all week. I’m glad to have a new notebook because I’m hoping it will provide inspiration to start working on that short story that’s due in English soon.
