Do Now: Wiki 3/31

What is my influence?

My reason for purchasing a product is probably how entertaining their advertising is. If I saw a really funny commercial then it would get me interested in the product more than a product that had a very boring advertisement. Also if the product has good reviews on the internet and I know that the product is reliable then I would buy it.

Invisible for a Day

If I could be invisible for one day I would do a lot of things. I would probably be thinking about all of the amazing opportunities I have. My invisibility would allow me to do things that I would get busted for if they could see me. I would like to do something really over the top but even though I am invisible I would probably not be able to because I am still not super strong or can fly so I am limited. The good deeds I would do is probably something like pick up the trash or maybe help an old lady carry her groceries into her house. I would do random nice acts for society.
I would help he elderly because since they are old they do not have the same energy that a young person has and it is harder for them to do things. I would help them mow their lawns or carry heavy objects. Since I am invisible they would not know it was me but I would not care because I would not have time to take any praise anyway. I would also devote my time to picking up trash in my school or park area. I would do this because kids should be able to play and go to school in a nice and clean environment. These are the good deeds I would do if I was invisible.
