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.

"A Hanging"

In my personal opinion, I think that no one has the right to decide when a person must die or live. The overall message of the story "A Hanging" by George Orwell is that the author wanted to express the way he felt when he really discover that the prisoner was not dying, and he was alive as himself. The author realizes that it was not fair to destroy a healthy, conscious man. You can see when the prisoner avoids the puddle, meaning that he was still reasoning and he didn't want his feet to get wet. The author understood an individual’s feeling by knowing he was still alive. I think that regardless of their misbehavior nobody has the right to take the life of another.

"Salvation and A Chase"

This two story was very interesting because it has to deal with children learning lessons in their lives. In the story "The Chase" by Annie Dillards, the author refers to action that humans normally make without seeing the consequences. For example, in the story the kids was having fun making an iceball, like normal kids they threw it to a man , as a result, the man started running after them. The lesson that is learned in the story "Salvation" by Langston Hughes is that you always should say the truth even if it hurts somebody. In the story, Langston decided to lie by saying he saw Jesus. It was just to make others happy and at the end he felt guilty. At the end they learn from their mistakes and that is better to tell the truth.
