So , did you hear about Paris Hilton? Well, if you didn't the story was she was caught drunk driving and was sentenced to 26 days in jail but after only serving 2/26 days she was sentenced to house jail or whatever you call it. This has been annoying me so much lately because I think if it had been a normal person then she would still be in jail but just because she's a celebrity she gets special treatment but luckily she still had to serve all of her sentence but know is publishing a book and getting lots of attention. Another example of unfair treatment would be Steve Irwin death, now before you get angry I'd like to say I look up to Steve Irwin he was a great person but he died late 2006 and they are still going on about it and he didn't die saving whales or helping someone like someone in the news last week. Last week a 43 year old man with three young children died in a shooting whilst trying to help a women in need... over one week no memorial- no more articals and barely any recognition. It's sad to think that his children are going to remember and miss him fro the rest of their lives but we only give him a tiny article for one measly week.
Bye for now,
Holly

I really agree with your blog; it is unfair that famous people get special treatment and something should be done about it!

Holly. I think this is a great post. You certainly have asked some important questions about what and who we value as a society. Your writing is mature and reflects on the issues really effectively.
I can't wait to read some more of your opinions.
Celebrities are just normal people with lots of fame. Another example of this is Ben Cousins, seeing as he takes drugs he gets both the front and the back page of the newspaper, but had it been an ordinary adult they most likely wouldnt even publish it unless he died and only then he would get something small. I really agree with what you said Holly and celebrities should be taken down a notch.
