In this text Rushdie is talking about the unnecessariness of reality tv shows.  In these shows competitors are doing everything to win the big price. Especially in “Big Brother” and “Survivor” people are fighting each other, kissing each other etc. These are all for taking attention of people who are watching them. As Rushdie states, people are getting more addicted on these reality things; as time passes, they want to see more and more about these things. If they see a murder in newspaper, the other day they want to see a massacre. These kind of things are washing people’s brains and making them asocial and insensitive individuals.

Nowadays there are lots of TV shows which has no aim like giving people some ideologies or teaching something. Only thing they give is helping people to kill their time for without any reason. So, why do people watch these stupid TV shows? Because they are willing to find something from their own life. They think that these things are really happening in real life. On the other hand these TV shows are manipulating people. Therefore, people are getting addicted to television. Especially people who don’t have job, don’t go to work or don’t go to school, are sitting in front of television and watching them from morning to evening. These circumstances may even cause family problems etc.

I am going to write about “The Pursuit of Happiness” which is a film that starred by Will Smith. There is a family. Mother, son and father(will smith). Father tries to find a job to look after his family. Mother also has a job and she always blames the father due to he does not have any job. However he is a very hard work and intelligent man. He is ready to do everything for his family especially for his son. However in spite of all these sacrifices of him, his wife leaves him. Child stays with him. After that event, father becomes more ambitious to get a good job and earn money. And at the end of the film he reaches his aim and becomes rich. As we can understand from the title of the film, happiness might not come to you, you should try to get it even it is too far. Smith states in the film to his son “you don’t allow someone to say you what you cannot do.” In a family things may not be so good but it should not be forgotten that it is in human-being’s hands to do things better.

the question is why do people marry? Why marriage is necessary for living together? according to Maggie Gallagher answer is simple: marriage encourages people to make babies as a result of sexual relationships. However I do not agree with her because people marry for healty relationships. In my opinion, since it is immoral living together without marriage, people marry and it is not necessary to make babies. On the other hand if same-sex marriage is subject, it is also immoral in Turkey and in other religious countries marriages for people who are gay, lesbian because in Bible, in Kur’an it is forbidden.

Stew is a man who has a daughter whose name is Kitty. Kitty is lesbian and her father does not like this situation. And when she came her 28 she gave a speech to Self magazine. She said bad things about his father on that magazine. So we see that her father became upset and I think he has a right to be sad and become angry with her. It does not matter what the circumstances are. She should not do smth. like that. As we see at the end of the story Stew did not do anything like that to his father inspite of the fact that his father was a very bad person. As it is mentioned in the story as well, once the father had gone, had died, there is no moen

I think this is not a real story. Connie does not interested in men but she wants to sattisfy her ego because her mother always depresses connie. She says that she was not a beautiful girl. Therefore, she wanted to talk with men and also because of that she didn’t say no to Arnold at the first time. We can guess that she does not like her mother at the beginning of the story. However at the end of the story we can see that she understands that she liked her mother. So due to that she sacrificed her self. Since Arnold threathed her to kill her family, she became upset.

In this story there is a boy who is a teenage boy at that time (the time that story written) in my opinion. He has a father who is hardworker but does not like his job. One day he had a heart-attack and died. And the boy thinks that it is his fault. The important part is the key which his father put his pocket for his family. I think that key represents the responsibility. Father said that he needed to find the key and then he found it. He is try to say that he did what he said even he was in a fight with death. It was a message to his son. A message that wants to say “look my son, I work hard whole my life, i tried to do everything that I need to do. And now I said you that I was gonna find the key, and i found it when I was struggling with death”.

İn the story of Rose For Emily, Emily represents the American government and army power. Because Emily is a first class person. Also Hommer represents the civil war’s people who fight for their freedom. Reader cannot know that if whole story is true or not because there are lots of gossips in story. For

İn today’s world piracy is a common way of distrabuting mp3s to the music sector. Some people do it unconsciencely, some knowingly. But it both cases they are commiting a crime. Obviously there is no difference to steal a mp3 CD from shop or stealing from internet by downloading. These circumstances are more common in young adults’ world because they do not even know that is it legal or illegal. Actually, these problems could easily be solved if governments make strict rules and heavy punishments.
