Explanation:
Brian walks to school about one mile from his home in rural Connecticut. He set up for school as usual by 6am hoping to arrive in an hour's time. Brian had walked for about 30 minutes when without warning, heavy rain began to fall. Within minutes, Brian was soaked to the skin. On reaching the railing intersection, he noticed that the railway bridge has given way during the heavy downpour. As he was about crossing, Brian sees the train coming. It took his mind seconds to register that this means a ghastly accident for the oncoming train. Without a second hesitation, Brian stood on the track, ignoring the warning whistles and started waving his shirts. Providence was on his side because the captain of the train sited him from a good distance and started applying the brake. Just a few metres from where he stood, the train halted and the accident was prevented. Brian was rewarded for his bravery .
I think reality television is harming our communities because of their misleading views on society; thus, why many individuals become self conscious of their life altogether it is stable. Reality television puts out a false image of succession which in tern harms our self confidence and happiness in life. If I could be in any reality show I would be in my 600 pound life and, I would chose this because I would get to receive money, attention, and praise from others around me. Although I would become rich and famous my relationships with others would most likely be ruined. While I would never actually like to be in a reality television show, I would call it “The Teachings of Professional Procrastinators”, and the show would show viewers how to procrastinate on a daily basis ending with the best television shows to become distracted with.
