English 101

I agree with Marie Winn about the bad ways of the domination of the television on family life. Spending so much time in front of a television destroys all the special qualities of family and weakens the bonds between family members. Because, television has a negative influence on the conversation and interaction activities of a family which is the key point of solving problems and healthy relationships. Moreover, increasing habit of watching television affects the imagination of children and their mental developments because of the parents attitude. They prefer watching shows on tv rather than reading their children fairy tales before the sleep.

The article mentions about various ways to catch media’s attention. Programmes and tv shows that make consestants to undergo lots of incredible experiences and they got on the main evening news though that. I think that these kind of information do not have a value as news. Moreover, being trying so much to be famous and rich can be seen as self-serving of people. Another point that I interested in the article that the contents of the news that media prefers to use most of the time. For example, the content of newspapers comprises the most violent events or tv shows contain live executions that drift the society moral collapses.

I really enjoyed this short story because it make me think that why people are so curious about others’ life. They use thinking of others as a way of escaping their own problems. Also the important point is when they realize that their curiosity damages their life, they give up listening people and start to behave as the same way as their neighbors do. I think, the reason of this attitude is, people can evaluate the situations more accurate when they are looking it from outside. Another point in the story that I find interesting, Irene figures out that most of the families are so different than they look, every of them has their own stories that can be so unacceptable.

I think that same-sex couples must have a right to declare their commitments and domestic partnerships to the society and must have given the same rights and benefits that opposite-sex couples have, because they give importance to their relationships as much as the heterosexual couples and deserve to be regarded as married by society. On the contrary, gay and lesbian couples are considered as having only unnatural sexual relationships and there is no sense to give them right to be married. They also can not be able to procreate and this lead to decreasing of procreation motivation of heterosexual couples. In my opinion there is no link between two. Opposite-sex couples have babies because they want to. The lifestyles of gay couples do not change thier opinions and approaches to being a family. Any kind of discrimination applying the same-sex couples can be seen as classifying people according to their way of life that can not damage lives and beliefs of others.

The narrator is telling the story from the father’s perspective of Kitty. Kitty is a quite and aggressive. Her quiteness helped her until she was sure about her tendency of being a lesbian. When she expressed it to her family, the initial reaction of her fatherwas absolutely horrifying that he couldn’t accept his little daughter was growing up and took her own decisions even if they were so morass and wrong. However, the opera “La Bohema” in the story symbolises the regretof the father rejecting his daughter. Moreover the question of why Kitty wrote an article instead of telling her thoughts directly to his father, was the presence of the large white space existed between them which make things difficult to explain or argue. In addition, we can realize the same type of relationship between Stew and Kitty and Stew and his father; the approaches to child, expectations or treatment methods. According to Kitty, the main point in being a parent is, addressing problems to yourself that means to form and believe your own values and grow your children according to this way except for being effected by the general, ingrained rulus of society.

Connie is a different and has a highly free-split character. To seem how she is less important for her rather than to be how she looks like. She is impressived by the looks, interests and admiration of people and whisperers about her. The reason why she has kind of a two different charachter at home and the outside is, not being able to recognize herself, not having a position in life due to the attitude of her family especially her mother forcing her being someone else who she is not. Of course it is so normal to desire to be realized by others for a fifteen-year-old girl but this is the centre of Connie’s life. That is why it is not so hard for Arnold Friend to convience Connie to get away from her life that never seems to Connie as a real or belonged to. She is totally unfamiliar to the new world where is provided by Arnold Friend but at this point there is no necessity to think about it. The only reality is the freedom of being far away even from herself.
