Activity 25: Surveying the text

In my anticipation I believe the committed time to read this article is less than 30 minutes with full concentration. The body paragraphs are short but I'm sure there is main points to each and every one which can be time consuming to understand what each point is leading to the next body paragraph.

I have read Hamlet a couple of times and that piece of writing was short but more time consuming because of the text and concept, the words chosen and the format. More deep thinking was required into Hamlet's piece of, "To be or not to be."

The publication i know is from Shakespeare himself i believe in the 1600's is when he published his piece of writing. 

The type of writing is found to be cognitive thinking. The decision that needs to be made is described attached to results of the thrown. It has a sense of meta cognition. 

I have sen this kind of writing in schools of education more likely or individuals who love plays or who are writers themselves and like Shakespeare for inspiration. 

Activity 26: Making predictions and asking questions

1) My prediction about the content of the article due to what the subtitle claims, it is going to talk about the debts it has left the nation. How people's lives were affected not only emotionally but also financially. Much detail will be included in the article because it clearly left a huge crisis on the the state, the people, the world. 2) The connection between our first article of, "What is a life worth," and the article from Steve Jobs is the theme of writing. They both have the similar titles of 'what is life worth' and 'what is a life worth.' I'm sure that they both will have similar content of texts in their article. My question is what would be their purpose and main points in their perspectives of each article. 3)The article seems to me as if it is going to speak in somewhat the perspective of first person but also dialogue because the tittle does seem to infer that it is dedicated to those who were affected in the 9/11 event. Skimming through the sections of writing, that is what I seem to get from it.

Activity 28
In the beginning the article speaks about how people are squeamish to the idea of putting a price tag to an individual's life. From here the details and statement's followed by saying that companies tend to pay out settlement's depending on injuries vs. death. Not all companies are this way but some don't seem to care as explained. Even if it was the affect to an employee's death, to not care enough to pay for their injuries. In this passage it seems to talk about a human life, the quality behind an individual.The working environment revolved around life is what affects a human's worth of their own life, as it seems.

Activity 29/30:
If it were Hamlet taking a look at Amanda Ripley's article I believe he would abide by the feeling she put's out into the article itself. The concept of choice in Hamlet and the statement on putting a price on a human's life worth has some connections into thought. Where Hamlet Contemplates on the effect of his uncles thrown is in comparison with how Amanda exclaims companies decision of an individual's death. Just like in 9/11, the despaired and traumatized nation, financially, emotionally, and politically infested with negativity. It ties together and i believe would see eye to eye with Hamlet.
 Activity 31:
The article is unbiased in the perspective of interviewing the families and stating the effects left by the event. Through thought it comes off to be emotional and non prejudice. Open minded to the distraught population that has been affected which financially affects the one's in charge of paying for the damage.
In the beginning it all begins with statistics and going into deeper evidence that involves personal view's that are factual as eye witness to the event. The personal statements and stories have an emotional effect on the reader, it is hard to not vision or think of how the personal view's cannot be disturbed by such huge event, affecting millions of other's.
I Believe that the publication and Amanda are to be trusted in this case. Publications are known to be over exaggerated but with such case that affected millions, it is a sensitive historic event that would not be fake and left to be untold as a lie. I'm sure agencies would be strict on the media's regulations when this event happened.
There is definitely emotion involved with the reader when the personal stories are introduced. They are stories that are too profound to even overview. The logic comes within the facts stated and statistics used to enforce the point given.
