DARK PATTERNS

Yes some of this things I read about have happened to me such as when I was cleat shopping online they had a certain number in stock. It said that the product was a certain percent off and if you shopped a certain amount you would get free shipping. What I did was I went to check in other websites that sell cleats if they were cheaper but they weren’t the adidas official site was the only place. They tell you they have a certain amount on stock but sometimes they have more than what the site says because I checked hours later and they still had some. If not I have seen some websites that tell you how many people are viewing the same product to try to get you to buy it.

I’M IGNITED

The one big question that caught my attention was “ Is their life after death? “ it got my attention because all humans die at one point. I wonder what people that died are doing right know like yesterday sadly Kobe Bryant passed away with his daughter. It gets me thinking because what’s really after death is their someone waiting for you at the entrance or gate of death like a family member. I wonder if people who have stopped breathing for so long felt what it feels what they have experienced or if they remember anything.

DOWN A RABBIT HOLE

The linked I clicked in and followed “ How we humanize together” I liked and learned that we as humans are very resourceful to each other. Some humans just need a little of motivation to keep on going and trying to reach the goal they want in life. Sometimes things we think it’s just mentality and we might think ambas about them but should actually think good about them. I’ve learned that humanity is like brotherhood especially while in far times

THE WORLD IS MY LIBRARY

I found what it seems like a great novel named Rivals by Tim Green it seems to be about a baseball player which is interesting because it’s about an athlete and I like to read things about them. The two short stories that seemed interesting were Riding the Bullet and The tell tale heart they seemed interesting because they seem to have a taste of mystery.

AMERICAN LITERATURE

American literature in my way of seen it or understanding it is related to the United States writing or books. I feels likes this is the definition of American Literature because something American is related to the untied states and literature is a writing or a book artistic. In a sort of way I had to think about because he could have just got musicians in New York as his manger said but he wanted the traditional people from Africa to do it for him. It was great because he had that taste of the people that were actually from the place and not just some musicians from New York.
