"mad as hell"

Last class we watched the clip from the movie Network which news anchor Howard Beal got “Mad as hell!”  There have been several instances in the media that have displayed similar behaviors as being “mad as hell.”  Republic Joe Wilson is one example by his outrageous remark calling President Obama a liar.  He clearly did not agree with the President’s remarks and felt the need to add his feelings on the situation.  Wilson later made a public apology for his inappropriate actions. 

         After watching the VMAS last night, I was mad as hell at Kayne West.  He made a disgusting remark to Taylor Swift basically telling her that Beyonce did a better.  Well that comment sure made Kayne West look like a jerk and now a lot of fans are mad as hell at his remark! 

"waking life"

Language is such an important aspect of our lives. It provides us with a way to converse with one another.  Along with language we use symbols to communicate with.  By using symbols and signs this makes the communication process more complex.  In the “Waking Life” clip speaks of how our life experiences are intangible.  We use different words to describe an experience, which is occurring, thus creating a language.  To describe a word or experience life we use symbols such as words or facial expressions etc.  Words are important symbols, which we use everyday to communicate with.  We also communicate by using expressions to describe how we feel.  Words are the most universal use of language because words assist our daily functions.  In conclusion words help us have a better understanding of language and the different forms of communication.
