Marilyn Monroe had a very interesting life that was admired by everyone during the 20th century. On the inside she was still a normal girl even though she had a glamorous life. In some ways I’m like Marilyn Monroe. Just like me, she had big dreams. She also was determined and hardworking. One difference between Marilyn Monroe and me is that her family was dysfunctional. Marilyn’s career, just like everyone else’s, started with a dream. She started as an orphaned girl in foster homes and, because of her big dreams, became famous. She dreamt big and had high expectations for herself and eventually achieved those dreams. I also have big dreams for the future. I want to go to a good college and have a good job that I love to do. But to achieve your goals in life you have to work hard. The next thing we have in common is that we both work hard. Marilyn changed her life completely by working hard and being determined. She was dedicated to her work and went from a lot of unknown movies to some of the most popular of her time. She gave her best effort, just like I do, and ended up living her dreams. If she had just given up when her dad left or when she was being transferred from foster home to foster home then she wouldn’t be where she ended up. She worked hard through all her troubles and it paid off. Of course, I and Marilyn Monroe have a lot of differences too. One difference between us is that Marilyn’s family had a lot of problems and mine doesn’t. Her dad left before she was born and her mother was put into a mental institution. My parents still are with me and are happy together. She’s also been put through a lot of foster homes and orphanages and I’ve never had to do that. Luckily, that’s one of the good differences between us. Though you might think I would have nothing in common with someone who was famous, I do. But we still do have a lot of differences. It was nice to learn about Marilyn Monroe and find out that I’m like her in some ways.
