story

Yesterday,a man made a time machine and went back to the 15th century. He also brought along his favorite computer. The people there tried to kill him so he went back home.In his panic he left behind his computer.During those events a troll under a bridge saw hat was happening and as soon as the man ran away, the troll took his computer.

The troll was extremely smart and knew english.He figured out how the computer worked and opened up the internet.As he was reading comments on someones blog and didnt like what he saw.The man that left his computer behind had caps lock on and the troll did not notice.The troll posted rude things and replied them to people.after a few weeks the troll had already started a flame war.

Back in the present the man had not signed out of his account and everyone thought it was him flaming.He then realized that he left his computer behind and went back to get it.Immediately,he saw a troll under a bridge holding his computer.The man was very angry for being accused so he beat up the troll and took back his computer.The troll snuck into the time machine and ended up in the 21st century.

After he arrived the internet trolls were born.

whole essay

     A lot of celebrities have bad reputations.This is because people write about bad things that celebrities do. People say that bad things are more interesting,people don't like to buy what they don't want to read, and good things are boring and less interesting than bad things.This is why people write about bad things more often.
  
     First,people write about bad things because bad things are more interesting. Because bad behavior is more interesting,it is covered more in the news.according to Eric Wubbo in nature.com (2011),"bad is stronger than good".this means that bad things are more interesting than good things in real life. It is in the human nature to want to read about bad behavior more.

     Next,people dont like to pay for what they dont want to read.Companies know that people want to read about bad things so they publish them in order to make money.newspapers write about good things and they dont make much money, but when they write about bad behavior many people buy the paper and the newspaper company gets money.because newspapers make more money.

     Finally,bad things are covered more because good things are boring.If people write about good things,others will not want to read it.Many people dont read about good things because they are not as entertaining as bad things celebrities do.Humans would most likely rather read about bad behavior than good.so because good behavior is boring,people write about bad things more often.

     Becuase bad behavior is more interesting,people dont want to pay for what they dont want to read, and because good things are boring,bad things are covered more.
