Sante uses the Soviet Union as a way to decease the ways of secrecy, that the Soviet Union controlled the lives of their citizens to a degree in which one would be killed if they did something treasonous immediately.

Sante uses KGB as a way to exploit and kill the secrets of the world, one giving you all the answers ceases imagination and secrets on that subject.

Sante uses the internet to show to people that secrets are easily accessible, and the world could find them out in a matter of seconds.

I agree, the internet is a nemesis to secrets, media loves to address the facts, for example, one would see a rumor about the retirement of professional wrestler Matt Hardy, probably Matt and E wanted to keep that a secret.

Schools teaching people ethics and personal values is very close to slavery. Teachers telling you what is right and what is wrong, what is decent and what is immoral is like teachers manipulating your mind, and controlling your existence. It is the job of the person to know what is right and what is wrong, even then they could decipher it in a way that teachers have never seen it before. Good values would have to be, not breaking the law, respect to others, and a working hard. Bad values would be regulating what people wear, forcing people to do something that does not impact their future that they don't want to do.

Movies

Comedy           
Good Intentions:
I am very confused on how this is a comedy, seems more like a drama. The reason why I think that, because it it about a mother who steals to provide a better life for her sons. How this would dictate to a comedy is beyond me.

Horror:
Paranormal Activity
This isn't a horror movie, its much to vague and ties to the generic sight of horror. Horror movies nowadays are more like a comedy, funny because everyone does the same thing.

Action:
Salt
This is probably the most confusing film of 2010. This film is by far the most terrible film, due to its confusing plot and its confusing structure. The film talks about a Russian spy who kills every other Russian spy, which doesn't make sense.



What dictates a good movie, is one with a powerful plot, fits its genre, and engages the viewers. For example  Holes would be a movie that fits the description, Law Abiding Citizen is another.

1. Since the begginning of this class I have learned to not use to be verbs so frequently, though everything is pretty much stagnant on my writing before.


2.My strengths probably reside in my vocabulary and in my unorthodox sentence structure.

3. Everyone knows it is difficult to stay on topic, I have learned to always reference back to the prompt every time you try to make a point.

1. Too many examples, the audience already found my point in the third paragraph.

2. The easiest element to improve, was changing my unorthodox thesis.
 
3. The biggest problem was  evidence, extremely difficult to find it.

1. The best of my essay, was the introduction, the introduction stated the point thoroughly.

2. The illustrative elements, were located in the introduction, a mix of the actual definition and a different way to look at it.

3. My best success in considering my audience, was the conclusion, a classical blend of many different elements in a poetic closing.

1. Not bieng able to use, to be verbs, destroyed my verbiage, and ruined my essay.

2. None really, I don't dwell on those texts, I don't really learn anything.

3. None, I didn't read any sample essays.

4. Well, don't be blotchy, always refer to your voice, don't use too many examples.

5. Very low, my weaknesses overshadowed the entire essay, it seems my peers have a million things to debate about when it comes to my work.
