Celebrities’ bad behavior
        Why does more people like to hear about bad behavior than good behavior? Celebrities bad behavior is covered more in the news stories than positive behavior. Celebrities bad behavior is shown more because it sells more, it is more interesting to the audience, and because many people like gossip.
           The first reason celebrities’ bad behavior is reported more is because it sells more magazines. If people sell more magazines they will make more money.

comic master

comic master

simplicity  7

music  4

color  6

total  17 


I
 gave  a  7 to  the  simplicity  of  comic  master .  The  good  thing  of  comic  master  is  that  it  already  has  all  the  drawings  done  and  that  you  almost  don't  have  to  to  do  almost  anything.  Another  thing about  comic  master is  that  it  already  has  the  characters  done  to use.  A  bad  thing  about  comic  master  is  that  you  cant  add  any  color  to  the  comics  because  it  is  already  done.
   I  gave  a  6  the  color  of  comic  master  because  it  already  had  the  colors  on  the  characters and  on  the  background.  The  characters  are   very  detailed  and  they  have  many  kinds  of  colors  on  them.  The  thing  I  didn't  like  from  color  in  comic  master  is  that  it  had  the  color  was  already  on  the  comic  and that  the  characters  were  already  done.
   I  gave  a  4  to  the  music  in  comic  master  because  it  only  had  about  3  kinds  of  songs  to  choose  from.  the  music  in  comic  master  was  not  good  and  their  was  not  much  music  to  choose  from.
