Neat people vs Sloppy people

After a meticulous reading , i believe that the author is in favor of sloppy people because of his statement:<>. This is a statement that prove his favoritism to sloppy people, and also it's a bold statement assuming that all neat people are lazy , mean when some may beg to differ. She does criticized neat people systematically in all point of view. I strongly feel that the author overreacted from her comparison between neat people vs sloppy ones.

Writing process

I understand the predicament that comes in writing specially if English is your second language.However; there are some effective ways you can follow to improve your writing experience. When writing it's never recommended to translate word to word or even translate it into your own language in your own sense.
Always try to comment on a subject that is familiar to you, and do not try to brainstorming about it. make your writing as simple as you can with well writing sentence and well coordinated paragraph with strong background on the subject as example.
My advice is to read a lot and do writing practice!!!

Indirect and direct communication

I believe that both can be effective, which will depend on the state of the communication, and who we are referring to. As example in the military, the chief in charge must be clear and direct because he is an hierarchic and a commander passing rules and instruction that will be beneficial for all.
In our daily life it's better if you apply direct communication type since we are dealing with a diversity of human being which could take any indirect type of communication in a derogatory way. The media is a perfect example when many official are not using direct type of communication it always appear that their mistake hunt them down for very long in their politic career. Therefore; i am more likely in favor of direct speech....

Why don't we complain

this is a tedious story. in the first place the concept is impossible, the author complains about a lack of complaint, yet in both circumstances he cited, the overheated rail car, and the out of focus film. My real life experience has been that everyone will quickly and loudly express their complaints. Perharps i do not have enough experience to the culture of the United States to understand the author point of view., but my personal experience make me be lieve that people that people do complain and they will complain things that beyond any person ability to change, the weather, traffic, etc....
i read the story with a with an increasing sense of annoyance and disbelief. In my life complains, loud forcely complaints are heard each and every day on issues large and small.

Marrying absurd

The author describes marriage in Las Vegas as a quick in and out process. She describes how easy it is to obtain a marriage license. often the people are drunk and intoxicated which make them incapable to take their vows or being serious about it. i believe that any wedding ceremony is a joke , but who's to tell that the couple are not in love? she is explaining ho las Vegas is taking away the real meaning of this sacred ceremony/ ritual. Looks like in las Vegas people get married just to get protective service from a national draft. i think they must put more restriction to those unhappy ending-marriage.

The death of the Moth

Virginia uses the moth as a symbolic figure showing us courage and a person struggling for her life to keep it as we usually do because we know that this life is timed. you can tell that she is comparing herself like the moth because she is facing that inner struggle. she feels lonely with her window open up to the world.....
That picture depicts our struggling for life because we know it will be gone one day, and we know that death has greater power over this battle, but we keep fighting like a moth.

The way to rainy mountain

I believe this is such an interesting story revealing the past culture and the love of a generation still attached to the spirit of a land. in this essay we see a generational loss over her grandmother death and the passion attached to her practice and her people. We can contemplate all that is gone with her the tradition, the language, and her native language. i do believe that Rainy mountain will last for eternity, but a people can fade away and be lost in history just like her grandmother's long forgotten native prayer.
