When Pamela Myers said that lying is a cooperative act, she means that lying is an act that requires more than one person. Lying involves one person to tell the lie and then another person who believes the lie to be true or sometimes they may fake it to say that they believe it when really they do not. I do agree that lying is a cooperative act because, when one person tells the lie, it can then be spread around to many other people who could tell the lie to many others. When Myers said in the video that lying is a way of connecting what we wish we were with what we are, she basically is saying that people lie to make themselves act like something that they really wish they were in their lives.

Hitchcock Individual Post
Ethics:Hitchcock used ethics to portray how women dressed,and how kissing scenes were filmed.The women in the films wore revealing clothes to give them the hour glass figure shape.By doing this Hitchcock showed the ethical way of how women dressed in the time periods of the films. Kissing scenes had to be only 3 seconds because they were very strict about how long kissing scenes could be during the 1940s. Hitchcock filmed several short kissing scenes rather than one long scene.
Psychology: Use of a Maguffin and having a scene where a character realizes that something happens to them are ways that Hitchcock used psychology in his films. One maguffin used is the wine bottles filled with uranium.Alcia realized that she was poisoned and reacts to this right away.
Historical Context:Kissing scenes were not allowed to be no longer than 3 seconds in movies during the 60s. They were also strict on how women were to act. Hitchcock disobeyed the rule by having Alecia act in inappropriate ways that were not proper during this time period.
Technology: Camera angles are very important in Hitchcock films. They were used to focus on characters eyes to create suspense. They help to show emotion. Hitchcock has diffrent camera angles to show what characters are feeling and what they see in the different scenes.

Miracles from Heaven
On April 27th, I went to see the movie Miracles from Heaven. This movie was based on the true story of a young girl named Anna Beam. While watching this movie in the theaters, I had tears in my eyes becaue there were some very sad scenes but I cried when happy events happened in the movie too. Overall this movie was very inspirational. This movie has a very, inspirational message for the viewers who watch the film. The message is that no matter what happens in your life, you must have faith during any situation that you face in life. I would really recommend people to go see this movie because it is very inspiring, and it teaches a great message about life.

Top 5 Skills I want to Gain in College
The top 5 skills that I wish to gain by the time I leave college are cooking , sewing, proper communication skills, time management, and organizational skills. I want to learn cooking skills, because I want to be able to learn how to cook many different types of food dishes for myself , my family, and friends in the future. By learning cooking skills, I will also be able to understand what all the fancy cooking words mean in a recipe that I would be using to cook different types of food. I would like to learn how to sew, so that I will be able to know how to fix a piece of clothing, if I ever notice a tear or the clothes need a button sewn back on. I also want to learn proper communication skills. It is important that I learn this skill, so that I will be able to speak to people that I meet, in a respectful and proper way. For example, I want to learn the communication skills that are used in being interviewed for a job. This way I will be able to know how to properly communicate with a manager or supervisor who works for a job that I hope to have in the future. Time management is something I want to learn, so that when I leave college I will be able to know how to manage my time wisely. I am someone who struggles with time management, since I sometimes tend to fall behind in my school work. Learning time management skills will be very beneficial to me. Organizational skills is something that I want to learn before I leave college because, I want to be able to say that I know how to properly organize my stuff so that I will be able to know where everything is, so I will be able to locate where it is whenever I need it for something that I am doing in my life. By learning these skills, I will be able to apply them to my life after college.
