Spelling Bee!

Choose one subject, person. Describe how winning the spelling bee is important to a subject

Emily: She does it because she is competitive. She thinks that she whats to be better than people. 

Should we still have spelling  bees?

I think that we should, since some people like spelling bees, and they have something to do. Though I don't think people should give the kids that type of pressure. One of the kids in the movie had large pressure due to the fact that his father was paying lots of people to pray for him. I think that the contestants should do it for fun, and have a life apart from that. When the spelling bee is over, where are your friends? your life? Most of there kids didn't do anything else than study the words.
