Part C: Illustration and Description (70 points)

1. Illustration Paragraph -

When we are growing up one of the most important lessons we learn is that painful experiences can sometimes teach valuable lessons.It may be the agony of learning them that makes such experiences so memorable. This learning experience is not pleasant, but it is necessary. Many of these experiences first occur in childhood. That is when I learned one of my most unforgettable lessons. When I was seven years old I lied about doing my homework. I had always done my homework before; that one time, however, I had not. I had been upset that I had religiously done my homework, but the teacher had never checked my work. I saw that so many others did not do their work, but they did not suffer any harm nor did I receive any praise. I decided to not do my homework. The teacher discovered my lie and embarrassed me in front of the class. I learned, because of that, to never put myself in that situation again. I always did my homework and I always told the truth.I am glad I learned this valuable lesson, but it was a painful lesson to learn.

2. Description Paragraph –

First impressions really do mean a lot. Every daypeople judge others and make decisions about them based on how they look and on how they react to the way they look. A face put on the local news channel can often cause such a strong reaction that viewers are immediately fascinated by the person. Viewers cannot move their eyes from a face and begin to study their eyes and mouth. People wonder what the person was thinking or doing when a particular picture was taken. People become curious, even anxious, just looking at the picture. Indeed, people may even feel as excited as they would if they were anticipating meeting or getting to know that person. For example, I remember all of the reports surrounding Paris Hilton. She is annoying; but she is memorable. Her face forces people to look at her. Her coloring is very attractive and her appearance is always very well put together. Although the person she is may not be someone many would enjoy spending time with, she is attractive to look at. Although not intellectually or humanlyappealing, people can be physicallylovely.
