Lie Detector

In the essay, the author explains some methods that are used to identify if you are lying by this machine called Lie Detector. Lie detector is a great machine, but I don't think is 100% accurate. The machine was done to determine changes in a person's body. Most of the people know how the machine works, so they try to stay calm and not to get nervous. We all should try to say only the truth, but sometimes people have to deal with events that let them to say it. There is no such a person that has ever said a lie. For examples, you lay when you don't want to hurt other people's feeling or when you don't want your child to know that he/she is adopted. I believe that at some point, we all have to lie in our daily lives. The author even mention that lying is stressful, ; therefore, sometimes it is necessary to say it.

Why we crave Horror Movies

This essay was very interesting because it is true that we all have an animal inside of us, we normally don’t show them but it some occasion it just goes out. I agree with Stephen King's Essay. I believe that we all have different personalities. Most of the times you like people to see that you are strong, but the truth is that you are not. On the other hand, they are some people that love to see horror movies just for the fact that they know they are going to get scared and they love that. In my opinion, I love horror movie. It always keep you awake because you don't know what to expect from the movie, also you don't know when are you going to scream, jump or even hit the one next to you.

Sloppy People Vs Neat People

This essay was mainly comparing about neat people vs. sloppy people. In Britt's essay, the author is in favor of sloppy people. In her essay, she provided some differences between sloppy people and neat people. For example, she said that neat people are lazier and meaner. Also, that neat people don't care about process, they like result. On the other hand, she refers to sloppy people as noble and sensible. Finally, she is more positive when describing sloppy people because she thinks that they tend to be more caring.

Considering Tannen's Essay (Direct or Indirect Communication)

In this essay I learn that there are two form of communication, one is direct and indirect communication. I prefer the direct communication because it allows us to express our opinions, ideas, and feelings. As we communicate, we all want to be able to understand the other's person message. In my opinion, direct communication is more effective because a person mean exactly what they are trying to say. Not only you can look into their eye, but also their face expression. On the other hand, indirect communication can cause misunderstanding. Also, you might leave doubts behind and make the person feel insecure. A good way to avoid conflicts and tragedies is by having a good direct communication.

Why don't we complaint?

In today’s society there a lot of people that doesn’t complaint maybe is because they doesn’t want to create a bigger problem. But, why you don't complain if you know that you have the right to complain? I know, maybe is because you are shy or you fear that the problem is going to get worst. People doesn't understand that we have the liberty to express our feelings and thought at anytime without fear of punishment. You are not to gain anything if you stay quiet and don’t fight for your rights. The author did a mistake by staying quiet. Your voice needs to be heard when there are other that are doing the wrong thing. In my own opinion, I think that we all should complain when you feel that you have to, nobody is going to do it for you.

Marrying Absurd

This particular essay I like it a lot because today we are facing with too many people that are not getting marriage as it should be. The author of "Marrying Absurd" wrote this story to inform the audience why many people like to get married in Las Vegas. I agree with his opinion about the fact that the act of marriage in Las Vegas it seems to be more of a business, nothing serious ; therefore, I believe you have to take it serious about making tht step. Also, I think getting married is not a game it is something that we have to think about it twice before making the decision. It is supposed to be a dream come true, a day that both will remember for the rest of their lives. We all have to consider that once we married we have to be there in the good and bad times.

Symbolism The Death of the Moth

In the story "The Death of the Moth" the author symbolized the moth as a human. The essay written by Virginia Wolf was very interesting because she tried to inform readers the importance of life. Sometimes few people take life for granted. As humans, we all have to appreciate every second in our life. In addition, if things go wrong, we can't stop, we have to keep going until we make it. In my opinion, I think that the author's main purpose of writing this story is that you never know when are you going to die, so every minute enjoy it as if it was your last day because you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.
