Negate this and you'll about have it!
I could write a very angry letter right now about Mr. Jack J Dawson, but I decided instead merely to express some constructive criticism. But first, let me pose you a question: Is Jack actually concerned about any of us, or does he just want to destabilize the already volatile social fabric that he purportedly aims to save? After reading this letter, you'll clearly find it's the latter. He has a natural talent for complaining. He can find any aspect of life and whine about it for hours upon hours. Whether you call it "boosterism", "blackguardism", or "adversarialism", it is alive and well in Jack's jibes. It's what convinced me that we must understand that Jack undoubtedly needs to stop living in a fool's paradise. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible.
However passive-aggressive the national picture already is, I appreciate feedback and other people's views on subjects. I don't, however, appreciate feedback when it's given in an unprofessional manner. But it gets much worse than that. At first, Jack just wanted to hasten the destruction of our civilization. Then, he tried to divert us from proclaiming what in our innermost conviction is absolutely necessary. Who knows what he'll do next? After days of agonized pondering and reflection, I finally came to the conclusion that he does not merely extirpate the things that I cherish. He does so consciously, deliberately, willfully, and methodically.
I stand by what I've written before, that I don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to take a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance because doing so clearly demonstrates how he really shouldn't exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless. That's just plain common sense. Of course, the people who appreciate his indiscretions are those who eagerly root up common sense, prominently hold it out, and decry it as poison with astonishing alacrity. Jack's antisocial ideals convince me of only one thing: that we must expose injustice and puncture prejudice. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time. I may not believe that Jack holds a universal license that allows him to burn our fair cities to the ground, but I undeniably do feel that this makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of his nutty sermons. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.) I would like to end on a heartfelt note. Shooting one's mouth off in a public forum on the basis of flimsy facts is neither prudent nor smart.

Todd was an average citizen living the American dream. He owned a lucrative business that sold skateboards, tee-shirts and used CDs. He was married and had two sons, a house in the suburbs and he drove a porsche. Everybody loved Todd, greeted him when they saw him at the supermarket, little league games and swim meets. Mothers stopped to shake his hand and thank him for equipping their sons--and sometimes daughters--with the right combination of skate boards, shoulder and knee pads and tee shirts to make them the most popular kids at their junior high schools.
Then one weekend on a snowboarding trip Todd had an accident. He jumped over what he thought was a snowbank and fell down the side of a sheer cliff landing on his head 100 feet below. Everyone who witnessed the accident thought he was dead. Todd would remain in a coma for three weeks, he broke his neck in two places and doctors doubted he would ever walk or use his arms again. As the weeks turned into months his family and friends had all but lost hope. His business went under, his wife struggled to pay the bills and his kids did not have a father to teach them how to skate and be their friend.
But miraculously Todd defied his prognosis and over a period of two years his body had healed to its pre-accident condition. Todd was happy to be his old self again but the accident had profoundly changed him. To his family's amazement Todd anounced one day that he was going to follow his lifelong dream of becoming a Christian minister. He moved to Salt Lake City to take up his education spending two weeks out of every month at school and two weeks at home with his family. When Todd earned his divinity degree and moved back home he secured a job at a local church. The congregation had its doubts at first that such a young man (Todd is 36) could lead their church. But in a short time they have learned to love his enthusiasm and his gift for spreading the gospel. He also teaches the youth group at the church and incorporates his skateboarding savvy into the religious lessons. Todd's wife says, "Todd fell a long way down but he's risen much higer as a result." Todd has plans in the future of directing skateboarding videos and donating any profits to Chrisitan youth programs in his community.
I made this up but your teacher won't know. Hope you get an A.

Well, I'm not going to write these 3 paragraphs for you, but I will give you an idea. You could write about someone who takes charge if there is suddenly a black out at a school. Good luck! :)

Look up a guy named Audie Murphy.
We learned a lot about him in the army, and I was very impressed with how humble he was, and he is a very good example of great leadership
