cell phones

In Charles Fishers essay cell phones and social graces; Charles Fisher talks about how cell phones are huge distractions in society and is slowly killing common courtesies. The author is against cell phones because he did not have the best of encounters in society when it comes to people using cell phones. For example when Charles Fischer would walk though the park or be talking to family, friends, or acquaintance they would ignore him or say” I have to take this.” Cell phone are the beginning of the end of common courtesies because people often drive and talk on the phone.
Driving and talking on ones cell phone is a huge example of demise of common courtesies. Cell phones distract one from driving for many different reasons. For example when someone is walking on the street and is almost taken out by someone talking and driving(not paying attention) this is discourtesies. Also there is the distraction of people texting and driving.

fish cheeks

The story fish cheeks is about a chinese girl liking a young minister son. The minister family was invited to amy's house for christmas eve dinner but she was nervous about what the minister son would think about her family. one big question that came up was what was the purpose of amy writing this article? It is that you should embrace your heritage. Her insight would be that she should not be embarssed of who she is. 
Persoally I have no idea what amy has went though but in high school I was in the special education. I never had any pride or embarssment  problems ever. I beleave that being in the special educaion program helped and thought me grate lesson. That I will never let anyone ruin my pride.
