popular forms of entertainment in society today like reality television, professional sports, social media etc. It is all
about other people! Imagine you are in the cafeteria and you see a student throw a plate of spaghetti into another
student's face (very poor decision). Are you going to turn away before you see the reaction of spaghetti face? No
way! You want to know what happens. History is full of events and stories just as exciting as the spaghetü face
sage. It is about people and their reactions.
Describe other people that interest you and explain why they are interesting.
