In my personal essay i chose the umbrealla theme of Cyrano deBergerac as my
topic. Which asks if we tend to take importance on how we look than on any other thing
that is or should be more important.
However in "Cyrano deBergerac" view he concerns about his nose as being a

TV shows like "Baywatch" or "Friends" have a cast of people who are good looking. Not
only do you have this in show business but in the music industry too: belive it or not . If
you watch MTV like I do you'll know what i'm talking about. All you ever see are these
teen singers that look hot like Brittney Spears or Christina Agulara, not only them but you
get people like backstreet boys or nsync who drive the 12-15 year old girls crazy. And the
