New Ideas

Come up with a new idea , meaning no one has thought of it before, is more difficult than what we think. Sometimes we think on something that could make our lives easier, and we say no one has thought about, but one day we see on TV, or maybe on the streets and we feel so disappointed because we thought that we are the creators of it. Sometimes we also say they stole the idea from me, but the funny thing is that you never told anyone about that idea. In my opinion ideas come from our imagination. Many of those ideas come from the regular basis, most of the time in the need of work better and with more efficiency. That is why the computer, the car and many other things where invented.

I have a dream.

Dr. Martin Luther King starts his speech with telling some history of The United States. He tells us about how the black community suffered segregation and discrimination in the past. How they used to live in absolute poverty without any resources to have a better life. As a matter of fact the lived in exile in their own country. Therefor, Dr. Luther King started talking about the civil rights for everyone in the country, how the children of the future needed a better place to live with the same opportunities as everyone else. he showed support to all the victims that were exposed to racism, cruelty and brutality. He also let the world know that this community were humans that needed to be treat the same as other people in the world. he let everyone in the world know that his dream was not only his , it was the dream that black people in this world was waiting to have real.

Cinematypes

In cinematypes Toth classifies her dates as follows: Aaron a very cold person , that just take her to art films. he only goes to the movies where a cartographers have a good critic about. They got to the movies in separate cars, and inside the theater he seats tentatively, which means that if he does not like the movie he can move. On the other hand she has Pete, a guy who is more affective than Aaron, but he is kind of cheap. They take turns to go to the movies, that way nobody owns anything to nobody, and they park away from the theater to do not pay parking. Different from the two guys mentioned before is Sam, a very affectionate person, and not cheap at all. The only thing weird with him is that the only thing he wold not pay for is the pop corn, because in his opinion is to grease. He likes entertainment movies, and inside the theater he likes to put himself comfortable. At the end she concludes that she likes to got the movies by herself. She enjoys the movies better without people that have so any issues.

College Pressures

As William said as students we faced so many pressures, that make us feel down , those pressures are: economic, parenting, peers, and self pressure. I am totally agree with the author, many students face so many things that instead of live this experience happily, most of the time make them quit before they finish. There are some strategies that the author advises for those students that are feeling so stress out because of so many pressures. One strategy is not to overwhelmed themselves with to many classes, and to try to relax taking art classes. Another strategy is study a career that they really like, not something that daddy wants just because he is paying. many people that study what they do not like, end up working in something totally different from what they study, and their lives are something they do not expected. In conclusion always pleased yourself first, and you will see how your love ones are going to be happy too.

Sexism in language

In my opinion we still have some sexism in our language . This does not mean that is like in the past, but today we use words that according to the author of the essay they used to have a strong meaning in the past. One example is woman, that used to have sexual connotations. Now days woman to a gender without having a sexual implications, and like those words many other ones. Supporting my first statement, we still have some sexism , but not much, and is because language was created so many years back that certain words were created for a specific gender like: nurse or fly attendant, for women, and for men words like: doctors, or engineer. But now a days those words have change a little bit, just because we have nurses that are men, and engineers that are women. In conclusion time has completely change, we still have some sexism in our language, and it will be difficult to change it.

Human psychology and the horror genre.

I am not agree with Stephen King's premise in his essay. I think that to crave on horror movies do not mean that we all are mentally ill. If we see that type of movies is because we like something that is out of the routine life, not normal, and at end is a fantasy. Also is mostly to entertain ourselves, not to practice what those movies present. By the way there are few others that may take those movies seriously, and I would say they are the ones ill , and need professional help. As I repeat we are not all the same, and not all of us are mentally ill.

Illusion For Empire

The essay " My Wood" by E.M Foster narrates the responsibility that a first time home buyer feels over a piece of property that acquire for the first time. The tittle is pretty logic, just for the reason that the author wants to make some improvements to the property to make it look beautiful, and keep it away form deterioration. It seems to be that he feels a little overwhelmed with this situation, but I think is a feeling that all have when we buy a property for the first time. We know that most of the time is not only to buy a property, is also maintain it, and make it look beautiful.

Why don't we complaint?

This story made me realize that there are so many things out on the streets that many of us do not agree on, but we let it go in order to avoid dramatic or violet events. One example could be the way many people drive on the roads. Many of them do not care if you are transporting kids or old people who need special attention, they just want to get to their point in the less amount of time possible skipping light, and changing lanes like crazy. Another event that we are getting use to live with is people smoking around us. I know smoking inside public places is not allow anymore, but what about people that smoke outside without noticing who they have next to them, that could be a kid pregnant woman, or just simply somebody sick. In conclusion there are so many issues that we accept, and got use to live with, just because we do not want conflicts with anybody around us.

Direct or indirect communication

In this essay Deborah Tannen explain how men are more direct than women. She says that sometimes indirect communication is more effective in reference to business matters, and is because is more careful and polite. In my opinion direct and indirect communication depends on the personality of the individual, not on the sex. I like direct communication, because I think that a person with this characteristic is more secure in every aspect of the life, also is not afraid to speak out his/her mind. I also think that to be a direct person does not mean to be rude is just that some people are sensitive, and take things in a different way.

Marrying is absurd

The author in this essay describes how to get marry in Las Vegas, Nevada is easy. For most of the people in that town marrying is just matter of a business process. That is because they offer different type of services about marriages at the same place. the services run from dresses, flowers girls, witness, and marriage licenses in less than half an hour. To understand this is like to get marry in a drive thru. Most of the people that get marry int his places, are people that had have a crazy night full of alcohol, entertainment, and gambling. The author in this essay is practically trying to explain that marriage in Las Vegas is part of the entertainment that the city offers. In my opinion marriage is an important step on an individuals life, that has to be taken seriously, consciously, and be sure of the person you are getting marry to, not like they do it in that city.

The way to rainy mountain

In this essay the author (N. Scott Momaday) describes with specific details the place where he was from. He told us about his people the Kiowas, he also described the weather in that place, and remarked that is the hardest in the world. The reason why he returned to that place was because he was going to visit his grandma's grave, who died in the spring of that year. One detail that was really interesting about this story was how he talked about his ancestors . he said that no matter that times changed, his grandma tried to keep her cultural traditions, and thought him about. Another important aspect of this discribtional essay is when he said how he was going to keep his grandma's memory alive in his heart, and he was always going to remember the prayers, and postures from her traditions.
