The Conscience of the Hacker

This essay gives a point of view of a hacker, but stating that everyone is the same. No one is different and all hackers are the same. Not just hackers think everyone is alike. Most people think if you do something quicker than others a thought comes to mind that they cheated. He states that he is a criminal for curiosity. I think everyone should have that state of mind. I liked how he described hacking to everyday things in life like school and people.

Everything's Awesome

Louis CK is stating that we live in a world that no one is happy even though we live in a world that is pretty amazing. He's saying that people are taking everything for granted in this century. He wants people to understand that technology now is far better than technology in the 1900's. Its not only our generation but some people from the generation before us. Louis CK doesn't see why to complain about delay flights or slow internet. In other words he tries to get the audience's attention by putting in humor and calling everyone out.

My Recital

https://youtu.be/d_O-Q3WU_UE
Example #3 of Satire

https://youtu.be/JXHqhd3GmcY 

Satire means some type of humor, irony, or exaggeration. It could mean to make fun of people. So I consider this video satire because it shows irony. Its irony because the other fish thought all clown fish were funny.
Example #2 of Satire

https://youtu.be/5GcDznxKDWQ

I think this is another example because teens react to a youtuber's videos. Their reactions are good, bad, and relateable. The teens add their opinions and comments about a youtuber's videos
Example #1 of Satire

https://youtu.be/1fmQs37YqXg

I think this video is an example of satire because it makes selfie sticks look like its dangerous. It sounds like its creating a lot of harm and it makes it seem like its a disease.

The Right to Your Opinion

I believe that everyone has a opinion that is meant to be heard. Not so much on the opinions that hurt other people's feelings. Most people like to be right all the time. The other person probably feels annoyed by losing. People like winning more and like the fact that their way is the better route. I think the words I am entitled to my opinion is stating that I will stick with my belief and ignore yours. That pretty much stops the conversation right there. The way of  life is and how you should live, depends on you. The definition of life is not what the dictionary says , but what you think it is.
The Laughing Heart

One of the ways I translated the poem was that everyone has dark days. Most people have them frequently than others. Isn't it bad people ask themselves. No its not bad and that its okay to feel like that. There will always be light somewhere in your darkness, but sometimes it seems impossible to see it or feel it. The light could be something small and overlooked. Sometimes it could be shining bright and impossible to be overlooked. Remember a bad day only lasts less than 24 hours. Just know that any day beats being buried under the ground. Bukowski tries to remind us that on the dark days you must remember that its your life, you live it how you want it. Its plain and simple, but speaks loud. I think he did a great job of explaining it and creates a loud noise just by words and relating to everyone.
