English-Short Stories

Watch Amy Purdy's Ted Talk titled, Living Beyond Limits and answer two of the following questions:

1. If life were a book, and you were the author, how would you want the story to go?
2. If you could write a new chapter in your life, where would you start?
3. Amy comments, "in our mind, we can do anything if we face our fears face on." What are some of your fears and how are they holding you back?
4. How, if at all, has Amy's story changed the way you feel about facing challenges.

Each answer should rephrase the question in the form of a topic sentence and should be two to three paragraphs in length. Be sure to organize you thoughts before you write. Highlight your topic sentence and use at least two examples from the TED Talk to help support your writing. Each response is worth 6 marks.
