I tutor. One of the activities suggested was to switch roles and have me as the student and him as the tutor. After many impossible math problems*, we switched to literacy. He told me to write a 500 word essay on a famous actor that I liked. I have to say, it was hard to write 500 words. So I did kind of half-ass it. Oh well!

Here is my essay on Parkey Posey:

I love Parker Posey because she is in amazing indie movies and she is well loved. She has a long career but she is less famous than an A-list actor, and therefore, is probably less recognizable in public, so she can go places without being flocked by admirers. She also is in Christopher Guest movies like Best In Show and Waiting for Guffman, and she gets to improvise in them, and she works well with an ensemble. She’s been in bigger movies, and she is the Queen of the Bs and that seems like a fun time.

Although, I am not a fan of being on camera, simply because it is boring with all the sitting around and not doing much, and being filmed like three times from all different angles. Although, I bet Parker Posey does plays or voice over as well. Regardless, I am a big fan of hers and would love to meet her in real life and go to lunch or coffee (except I don’t like coffee, so I would have to have a different drink, like hot chocolate).

I got an A-!**

 

*Examples of the 5 problems he gave me:

-000.3 divided by 10,000

.1mm = 2 __ oz

and

Chuck has -$2 in his bank account. And 50 coupons and 2,000 stamps. Apples are $3. How much will he have after he buys 10 apples?****

**First I got a B+***, but I complained and he changed it.

***But I agree, a B+ is generous for that one.

****Answer: a few less stamps and coupons. I forget how many now. And he should also get some chicken and a nice French bread and more produce and a cake and invite some friends. But he’s gotta get out of the red–he’s gonna get hit with insane fees!
