Steve Irwin

Mrs. Hall sent me three names in her message to me: Steve Irwin, Bessie Smith, Sylvia Plath.  I have chosen Steve Irwin for my biography assignment.  Steve Irwin is a very interesting person to me.  When he was alive I really enjoyed his show.  I greatly appreciated his love of animals, as well as the fearless way he approached them.
As a child I was a lot like Steve Irwin.  I was Always curios about animals and never scared of them.  Even to this day I enjoy keeping and taking care of animals.  I also find it very interesting how he died, and the way his family is keeping up his work.
Steve Irwin died while doing what he loved and his family seems to take a lot of comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved.  His wife and daughter both remain very dedicated to wildlife education and conservation.   
Steve Irwin was born in Australia and was also the host of a popular television show.  While there was some controversy over some of the things he did on his show I don’t believe any of it was done with bad intentions.  Some people accused him of exploiting the animals.  From what I could tell he just used his popularity to bring the troubles of these animals into the public eye.  There was also a lot of attention brought to Steve Irwin over the involvement of his children in his show.  Steve Irwin simply seen it as a part of everyday life, he was raised in a zoo and wanted the same for his children.  As far as I can tell Steve Irwin was agreat guy with a very interesting life.
