250 words is about 1/3 of a page typed (short words mind you, longer words it could possibly be 1/2 a page). Houston is a metropolis of over 5 million. The Chronicle is going to receive hundreds of entries, I’d say maybe even upwards toward a thousand. XD It’s just a boardgame and movie tickets. There’s no need to make it any longer than that. I’ll have to see if my sister wants to enter this.

That’s awesome! I’m going to make all of my friends enter though, because you can’t do it about yourself.

I am sorry to asking stupid questions but my English is not good at all. That’s why I just wonder is this essay is about write a biggest fan of our hero I have ever seen? Like I have to write on what prove make me think she is the biggest fan and what she did to make me chose her? LIke that? Please answer!

Sorry, comments are closed for this article.
