In "What Secrets Tell" by Luc Sante has the KGB, USSR, Internet, and American culture examples of secrets, and thing that hold secrets.

The USSR and KGB held and had. Example there spies space technology and ato,ic weapons ect.... They had documents that solved past mysteries and seperated the real from imaginary.

The internet prevents secrets for staying "quiet". Someone can post an image a note whatever ur secret may be and itt'll be around the world in seconds. Anything you put on the internet about you or another can be traced back to you and them.

American Culture has this feeling to share secrets in a varriety of ways. We teel these secrets to "audiences". In "What Secret Tells " Sante says secretsare told on televison trials and odd game shows like Jarry Springer.

Secrets can be told and kept but someone always knows about it.

School should teach ethics and morals, it would help are youthbe more respectful to authority and to themselves. School should teach students how to introduce correctly not with the slap of the hands and say whats up bro. It should furn grip and shake. School s should teach you about how to act in a interview. Kids today have no moral values they don't think before they act thats why they get into so much trouble. Kids need to have a good moral compess to tell them right from wrong. These classes should be manditory and only need to be 30 minutes long if you did that every day or society would be way better than it is now. crime would go do more educated individuals etc.... The world needs these classes to better or youth.

        Ever sense the creation of the movie one of Americans favorite activities has been going out to catch good flick. People usually go to see a movie based on the mood or situation they are in at the time. I believe that there is a type of movie to fit almost any situation that someone could possibly be in. Over the past ten years their have been three genres of movies that have stuck out in my mind as the most played in theaters: comedy, romance and horror films.    
         In my opinion the most commonly played genre of movie in theaters is comedy films.   I think comedy movies have been played so commonly because they are a lot of fun no matter what your mood may be.   You could go see a comedy with a group of friends, family or even on a date.   Examples of some very popular comedies in the past ten years are Wedding Crashers, Meet the Fockers and the American Pie trilogy.   All these films have all the traits that make them the best. They have a hilarious story line with actors that greatly fit their character. Comedies are the best type of film to cheer up someone who is down.
         I believe that the second most played movie genre is the romance film. These movies tell great stories incorporated with a romantic tale. Romance films have been most typically thought of as the best date movies, although romantic films are good movies for other occasions also. Two of the highest ranked romance films in the past decade are The Notebook and 10 Things I Hate About You. Though not all movies fit into a single classification, take 10 Things I Hate About You for example. It is both a romance and comedy film, which is probably one of the many reasons why it was so popular. The romance genre is usually preferred by female audiences but can easily be enjoyed by all.

      Last Horror movies, they seems to be driven by yuppies and teens today. Almost every horror movie out there has a young girl running away from something or someone that is trying to kill her. It’s always the same, a group of young beautiful girls and handsome guys getting together for some adventure expecting to have a good time, instead they end up being mutilated one by one until there are just a couple left. Most watch these movies during halloween making them not as popular.

  • In my pink flamingo essay I analyzed but it was not uniform. It was like a Buck shot i had to may examples not enough concreate details.
  • My audience would have a good understanding of what i was trying to get across but I don't think anyone would want to pick it up and read it.
  • My subject is presented well but it drops off as you read along.
  • I have a very clear thesis and all my paragraphs support it but not as good as it could have.
  • My writing style was clear good Sentence structure and my mechanics were well used.
  • I didn't use any personal thing in this essay, like opinions etc...
  • I got mu point across but it was indeed sloppy.
