 I think I need to write more response and need to work hard for organization and some grammar. In addition I need to have more example to support my claim. And I also need to learn more new vocabulary. I will do my best and I hope my essay can be better and I hope I can pass the CAW-Text in this semester.

Blog Entry 6: Review Socrates

    In the article, "The Allegory of the Cave" the author describes a group of people who have been chain in a cave most of their life and there is a fire behind them. They can not turn around their heads, they can only see before. Therefore, the only thing they can see is the shadow. They do not know the real, all they believe is the thing in cave. They do not know any reality. If they get out of the cave and see all the reality they will not think that is truth, but when they understands the reality they will realize that the thing what they saw before is no the real truth. In this situation most of the people may not want to believe the truth and want to go back to the cave. Only few of them want to see more reality. I think that people should not always think what they believed is the real truth.
    In my live, when I was young I really believed Santa Claus. I believed that Santa Claus will come to my house and give me present on Christmas Day. My teacher and my parents told me that if I am good Santa Claus will give me the present that I want, but if I am bad he will not give me any present. Therefore, every Christmas Day I wrote a letter to Santa Claus and asked my parents to send it to him. I also wrote a note to thank for the present and hanged it on the Christmas Tree. Every Christmas Eve I could not sleep well because of the present. Every time, when I saw my present in the morning I really thought Santa Claus did come to my house last night.

    One year, before the Christmas Day I did the same thing that I used to do. I wrote a letter and asked my parents to send it to Santa Claus, wrote a thank note and even put some cookies on the table. On Christmas Eve I was really excited that I did not sleep all night. In the early morning, I woke up and went to the Christmas Tree but I did not see any thing there I was so sad and I thought is because I was not so good that year. I want back to my room. Later on, I heard the conversation from my parents, my mother asked my father if he put the present under the tree but my father answered that he did not put that yet. I heard all their conversation and then fell asleep. When I woke up and saw my present I did not want to believe what I heard in the morning. Next day I asked some of my friends and all of them said that the conversation that I heard is the real truth. There is no Santa Claus and they never saw Santa Claus before. That time I was really shock of that. I could not image that what I really believed is not the truth.

    I advise that people should get off the cave and face the reality. Staying in the same place only can make people foolish, and do not know anything about the world.

Blog Entry 5 :summary of The Allegory of the Cave

      In the article, "The Allegory of the Cave" the author descripes a group of people who have been chain in a cave most of their life and there is a fire behind them. They can not turn around their heads, they can only see before. Therefore, the only thing they can see is the shadow. They do not know any reality. When a person get out of the cave and see all the reality he will not think that is truth, but when he understands the reality he will realize that the thing what he saw before is no the real truth. In this situation most of the people may not want to believe the truth and want to go back to the cave. Only few of them want to see more reality.

Blog Entry 4: Hype Workshop".

      Advertisements are everywhere in today's society. In the article the author talks about how prevalent do advertisements are and how they affect people's lives.  Commercial advertisements are all over around people's lives. They are on TV, radio, buses, billboards and stadiums. People can even see the advertisements when they are filling their cars with gas. When people drive they can see the billboards on the buildings or on the side of the road. Many broken enormous billboards are in the countryside. People can see advertisements where their eyes can see. Advertisements are effective and influence people's brain.
  
        I think advertisements really affect people's lives. When we see an advertisement we believe what it says. If this advertisement says that this product is really healthy and has good taste, people may think about this product when they are buying another product. However, some of them are untruthful advertisements and even not good for health. As a result people who want to lose their weight really believe the product which says it can lose weight as much as people want can get some problems from it. This is really common in today's day. I feel really terrible and angry about this. People always believe the advertisement some of them are good and people get many benefits from them but some of them make problems and even put people in danger.

        I advise that people should think carefully before they buy the product which they buy it because the good advertisement. In addition, companies do not exaggerate and make untruthful advertisements. I also want people to realize that advertisements are not always right, think carefully when the advertisements says that people can do whatever they want by using that product.

Blog Entry 3

   In the article "hype'' by Kalle Lasn talks about how prevalent do advertisements are and how they affect people's lives. People see advertisements from the moment they wake up through late-night. They are on TV, radio, buses, billboards and stadiums. People can see advertisements anywhere their eyes can possibly look on. They can even see the advertisements when they are filling their cars with gas. Kalle Lasn also stated that ''No one is exempt and no one will be spared.'' It means that people always see advertisements in their life and shows how prevalent do advertisements are.

Blog Entry 1

       Advertisements are everywhere in today's society. In the article the author talks about how prevalent do advertisements are and how they affect people's lives.  Commercial advertisements are all over around people's lives. They are on TV, redio, buses, billboards and stadiums. People can even see the advertisments when they are filling their cars with gas. When people drive they can see the billboards on the buildings or on the side of the road. Many broken enormous billboards are in the countryside. People can see advertisements where their eyes can see.

        I think advertisements really affect people's lives. When we see an advertisement we believe what it says. If this advertisement says that this pruduct is really healthy and has good taste, people may think about this product when they are buying another product. However, some of them are untruthful advertisements and even not good for health. As a result people who want to lose their weight really believe the product which says it can lose weight as much as people want can get some problems from it. This is really common in today's day. I feel really terrible and angry about this. People always believe the advertisement some of them are good and people get meny benefits from them but some of them make problems and even put people in danger.

        I advise that people should think carefully before they buy the product which they buy it because the good advertisement. Inaddition, companies do not exaggerate and make untruthful advertisments. I also want people to realize that advertisments are not always right, think carefully when the advertisments says that people can do whatever they want by using that product.

What I expect to get out of this class

    I hope I can higher my writing skill and learn how to write more in my essay. Inaddition I hope I can also learn more about organization and more vocabulary.
