Demi Gains Control Again.

Purpose: To entertain, to inform.

Audience: Teenagers, Celebrity Magazine readers.

Demi Lovato , 18, is the most recent celebrity to be effected by the reality of being ‘famous’. Demi has spoken out about cutting, bullying, depression, anorexia and bulimia. It seems the troubled star doesn’t have such a simple life as first looks seem.

 Last November, The actress began three months of treatment to address the problem of self-harming and an eating disorder after she punched a dancer while on tour with the Jonas Brothers. At the time she entered herself to rehab for unspecified "emotional and physical issues", and recently revealed that these were the reasons why she checked into the treatment centre. She also discovered that she was bipolar whilst she was in treatment. The troubled teen star admitted to having the disorder to People magazine in a very honest interview:

"I've battled depression from a young age. I never found out until I went into treatment that I am bipolar. At first, I was like, 'What does that even mean?' But looking back, it makes sense... That's why I wasn't happy when everything in my life was great."

 Also speaking to people’s magazine about her eating disorder, which was so extreme she started vomiting up blood before she was satisfied with herself, she tells all and doesn’t leave out anything. The Actress/Singer tells the magazine, "When I was about 15, I was only eating two meals a week, but I wasn't losing any more weight because my body adjusted to that. So I tried new things: laxatives, fasts - nothing was working.”

"I decided maybe I should start throwing up. At my worst, I was doing it five times a day. I threw up so hard and so much, it was just blood in the toilet."

In a separate interview with People magazine, Lovato reveals she 'stopped eating' at the age of 12, dropping 30lbs. At 5ft 3in, she weighed 95lbs.

After completing a three-month stint in the mental health facility, Lovato says every day is still a struggle. She told People magazine that ‘she find things more difficult now there’s no one supervising her’ which is why she decided to take time out from work.

Demi is doing her best to fix these problems, the first step she's taking is quitting her TV show 'Sonny With A Chance' so that she'll be able to focus on her music career.

Speaking on the shock exit from the show, she revealed: "It's kind of sad for me that a chapter of my life has ended but there couldn't be a better time for me to move on. I don't think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery."

The Apartheid in South Africa taken to a new level

Citizens across South Africa now fear murder because of the distressing apartheid.

It was reported, late last night, that three cases of murder have occurred in the small town of Kuruman. Three African victims were brutally taken from their local community after a green jeep pulled up near the victims and now they're no-where to be found.

It is known that one of the victims, Danlandi Osundare was taken at approximately 8pm last night from his family home. The kidnappers made quite a stir; as one local neighbor tells us: “The green Jeep turned up last night, their whole house woke up, and they dragged Danlandi out”. This is not the only time that this has happened, as reports say it then happened again on that evening in the same village. 

 Akanni Monada was also brutally taken from the home two hours later. It seemed the kidnappers broke in at around 10pm in the evening through Monada's open bedroom window, which his family claimed that he always left open so that they could get air. Monada's family told press that they were all awoken by the sounds of screams, but because of fear, none of them left their rooms until they were sure that everyone had left the home and the Jeep had driven off.

 Another of the kidnappings happened to Chinwe Chunga, whom's story was very different. It seemed that she went off to work as normal on Friday, only to not return home. A work friend spoke of the event, saying "Chinwe was a lovely person, why would anyone feel the need to do this? its so wrong...". It is unknown what happened to Chunga after leaving work. Civilians are starting to ask themselves; why is this happening to us?

Local police recommend public to stay in their homes in the evening and not to go out walking the lonely streets unaccompanied. They also say to look out for any green 4-by-4 Jeeps, as the same car has been used in the kidnapping of the victims.

Locals fear what may happen to them and their families, and are praying that it all goes away.

Right now, nobody is safe…

Not My Business

 The Apartheid in South Africa has recently hit it's all time low this week, with numerous horrific beatings, kidnappings and disappearances each involving a Jeep.

  Since Saturday, Akanni Odu and Danladi Rion have been brutally abused and kidnapped. It is seemed that both men had been targeted because of their race and because they aren't the same as the minds behind the kidnappings. Odu was the first of the pair to be kidnapped from their family homes on Wednesday night and police reports have said he was "beat soft like clay, then stuffed into the Jeep." Family of Odu are distraught, saying "It's horrible how it only happened to him. Why him? Why not all of us? Will they come back for us?"

 Rion was another who was beaten and then stuffed into the Jeep this week. It seemed the kidnappers broke in at around 4am in the morning through Rion's open bedroom window, which his family claimed that he always left open so that they could get air. Rion's family told press that they were all awoken by the sounds of screams, but because of fear, none of them left their rooms until they were sure that everyone had left the home and the jeep had driven off. Both of these kidnappings have said to be linked, yet no one has been returned or found.

 The last of these events happened to Chinwe Chunga who was reported missing. A work friend spoke of the event, saying "Chinwe was a lovely person, why would anyone feel the need to do this? its so wrong..."
It was revealed that Chinwe went missing after she was dismissed from her job with no reason. "I feel part of this is because of the kidnappers, and part because she lost her job. She was hurt and confused. I hope she is safe" said Chinwe's friend.

  These are the three events that have happened so far, but how are we to know that they are the last? The apartheid has gone to far this time, and we can't stop what the kidnappers feel is so natural to do.

What feedback did I get in my tutorial?

  When I had my tutorial with Mr. Michie he told me that my work was very good and I knew how to develop my point and my work showed a strong point of view. We discussed my knowledge of being able to describe a image, use a good range of vocabulary and how I had control the whole way through my piece. I also understand that I can write a sustainable piece of work but this is something that could be further improved.
   Therefore, we also discussed what I could develop in my work. This is so that next time I write, I can make sure that it is a quality piece of work that is sustainable throughout if it is a long piece of writing, meaning it's strong throughout the piece with no parts becoming 'droopy' and unclear. My main target was to proof read every piece of work part by part and to also keep note on my sentence structure. Then, to develop this target further, I was told to use simple sentences for shape, such as "I went to the shop and brought some sweets" or to use short sentences such as "stop." for effect on the reader. I also need to make sure that I close up my points before I start to discuss something new, explore simple sentences and make sure I have a variety of lengths of sentences. This is so that some of them are long flowing sentences, others are short and then others are of a simple kind. Instead of just doing this in the poem I have written below, I could also bring the effect into my prose writing which I will further develop and re-write soon.
   We then ended by saying about my choice of vocabulary. Whereas some of the vocabulary I choose to use has more of an emotional feeling, others I use sometimes aren't as appropriate and I should proof read my work so that I notice things like that. This means I have a chance to strengthen my vocabulary as well as my work piece.

My Final Target:
Vary sentence length in traditional writing and proof read, leave things for a few days and then come back to it and then make sure someone else reads my work.

Dashwood

Broken beautiful bachelor, as dashing as you may be
you left and hurt the bones within my body.
Lies told and promises made.
Music and tears over you were nothing 

while i sit and think for revenge.
Tunes,notes,books read happiness for you
but your pleasure is my pain.
Why did you withdraw yourself and your love?

Coward. You wrote me music yet no letters,
stay, my bitter love because none were expected.
I play and remember each word and tune 
that you spoke and heard, yet this time

My voice was totally suspended with tears.
Over it, done. Evil within you has been spotted
in my blood red eyes. Silence within me
broken out. Nothing given nor expected.

Over it, done. Your dead to me.

My Object.

Millions of memories inside something so little. Colourful, reliable and alternative. Inside the one thing most important to me, becomes another world entirely. Inside, contains hours of listening, hours of remembering. Some old, some new. A changing screen creates so many different and alternate backgrounds, and can also broadcast a million sounds into my ears at one time. The outside of the item can be changed by the easiest move, making it unbreakable, yet more stylish or practical. Most people claim that they could not live without this item, and I believe I am the same. I believe that it’s incredible how something so little can mean so much to someone in life. The little earphones that plug into the bottom of the machine that brings life to itself. Everywhere. This machine comes everywhere with me like it’s a part of my body. Connected to me by the ears, never to be lost or let go of. The machine is unique and individual to every human being. Nobody has any one the same, yet so much criticism can surround the item, if another doesn’t agree. Inside is your own personal library that no one can alter because it’s unique to yourself and only yourself. Easy to change, yet most don’t want to touch the memories created by each little space used up. Each within a time based normally around three small minutes, sometimes longer, and sometimes shorter. Inside, different voices, tones, tunes and words surround a base created around something that you like, something to fit in with the market that is known by everyone, each trying to break out and become something of themselves. This item, so significant to me could mean absolutely nothing to the next person. But is significant to me because of the memories, times and places it holds within itself or has been too.
