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.

"A hanging"

In this story, Georges Orwell is assisting at an execution and he let us feel how he had conceived the act.
it's really sad to see another healthy human being had his/her life taken away in sort of a quick period of time which is death. I think that any loss of any human life is a considerable loss to all of us, and proving us also the mystery behind life.
i understand that any wrong doing should be punish;however, i am pro life and i am against the destruction of the life of any creature since we are not the creator.i also believe that we are kind of careless about the martyr of our own, obviously in this story people were partying and drinking right after his death.

human psychology and the horror genre

I believe that is so true that we, people pay our money to go seat in front of a big screen looking at other personage being hunted and tortured, mutilated from the front row. i also agree with the author saying where the fun comes from those scenes is it watching others being chased or killed. i think that sometimes scary movies make people more paranoid and scare since they mostly believe it can happen in real life. somes scenes make people think negatively sice it's burned into their memory for ever. at the same talikng you do have people that think that each of us handle our stress differently some like watching, i guess it make them stronger for the next to come.

College pressure

Besides the predicament that the author stated concerning college student, we do face more challenges as students like choosing a major and be sure about it since we will spend time studying....
We also face the difficulties to choose our schools based on our criterias like private schooling or state, and also the living on or off campus.We are facing anxiety about being succesful in life and our career specially when our parents and familly are counting on us later on in life.The other issue which is important is getting a jobafter university or college and being ready for the real world where we will have nobody to help us out in the real job world.

Shouting Fire

FIRE!

By Alan Dersheriwitz

This is a interesting article about a saying we have all heard but really do not know the context. the limit to free speech has always been the analogy you can't shout FIRE! in a crowded theater, but the case that drew this comparison, in actuality was a political handbill given to would be soldiers during the first world war, telling them ways to resist the draft. The Supreme Court using the FIRE example upheld a prison sentence to the activist who distributed the handbill, but Mr Dershowitz shows clearly that this was not a example of trying to cause unneeded panic, but true dissenting speech, extremely unpopular during a time of war, but perhaps just the type of speech that need the power of the courts to protect.
