Why we crave horror movies

In this passage Stephen King talks about why we crave horror movies and I do agree with his point. In my opinion we the people are really exposed into violence a lot. Humans have a history being violent, enjoying scenes of excess violence and even participating in them. Public fights, executions, arena battles and more. Now a days the thing mentioned above are illegal. People have a fascination with violence, a fascination with death. Stephen King says metaphorically that there is an alligator pool somewhere in the confines of our mind, constantly threatening to break lose and bite some one. He said he believed in happiness, as long as we kept the gater's fed. To me all humans have another side but most keep it under control or like Steven King puts it "fed".

He was a very independent man so they both will meet each other at the theatre. The next date which was Pete, a man that enjoyed films of political intrigue and war. Then the last guy was Sam.

The Holocaust

The Nazis did not waste a minute and did not give the Jews a break. “German invasion of the Soviet Union, SS, and police units (acting as mobile killing units) began massive killing operations aimed at entire Jewish communities. By autumn 1941, the SS and police introduced mobile gas vans. These paneled trucks with the exhaust pipe reconfigured to pump poisonous carbon monoxide gas into sealed spaces, killing those locked within, were to complement ongoing shooting operations.” Has his event made a difference in the world? Most definitely! Millions of people died because of an ignorant “artist”. Furthermore, the survivors of this great tragedy have to deal with the loss of all their family members, the numerous bad memories that they had to experience to survive this time period, and the aftermath. Yes, the aftermath: because even thou this happened 63 years ago, a total of about 12 million murdered people, we still encounter citizens who have many racial issues even presently.

I Have a Dream

This essay was about the speech given by Martin Luther King at the hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation at the Lincoln memorial. This speech was given by Martin Luther king’s a yea before his assassination. In the speech he said he dreams that one day all black and white people will be together without any type of racism at all. He then mentioned that the segregation against black people should stop because everyone is equal. He said one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sister and brothers. I think that Martin Luther King was a great man and that he impacted our life with this one speech.

Whale Rider

This story is about customs, culture and ancestor of a tribe named Maori, in New Zealand .Involving a girl named Paikea, she was born in a hospital where a mother has just given birth to twins and the male twin dies as does the mother. She was raised by grandparents Koro and Nanny. She craves the respect from Koro; however, he is of the old ways, and he is bound by tradition to pick male as new chief because his ancestor the first-born, always male, have considered Paikea’s direct descendents. Women are treated as second class, but Paikea eavesdrops on Koro's classes with the young boys and learns the ways. Paikea is receiving an award at school and she has invited Koro to watch her but instead of him making the obligatory entrance, Koro has discovered something more important. The rope is a symbol of the unity. When it broke, Koro gave up and walked away. Paikea fixed the rope and was a symbol of the leadership; it shows how a new generation is instructing new generation. When some whales are beached on the sand outside the village, and the village people cannot save them. But Paikea rides the biggest whale to safety and all the other whales follow her. She came thru and mended the rope again by dominant the whole into the ocean . Her grandfather then realizes that she was destined to be chief of the village. One of the central issues in Whale Rider is women’s leadership in Maori society. Paikea’s gender is the primary obstacle to her acceptation as a potential leadership of her tribe.

The Lie Detector

The Lie Detector is an essay with details concerning lie-detecting technologies. As I read further I saw that the author doesn’t like the idea of using lie detectors even thought it may help. In The Lie Detector the author first explains how lie detecting technology works and some of their uses. It says the technology would be quite interesting and useful in certain settings.
In my opinion I think lie detector technology is really not secure for everything. Some of us know that lying in any case even when it seems good, is wrong. When we have to resort to a lie detector, there is a problem.

Borges and I

In this passage, a man seems to be trapped in another image instead of his own. He does not feel independent or confident about his own self. He feels as if his Borges in this world. A person trying to break free but has not established it. Borges is mentally and emotionally greater than his own-self is. As he mentioned when he loses everything belongs to forgetfulness or even Borges.
