    Like almost other kids, she was trying to follow whatever her older brothers do. But because she is a girl, so instead of getting a gun, she could only play with her bow and arrow. This is the turning point of the story, when the “accident” happed and completely changed Alice’s life. She was shot in the eye by the BB gun of her brothers. The doctor said that Alice would likely to be blind, not only one but both eyes. She was terrified but what she care the most is not about whether she could see or not. It is her beautiful that she cared about. She scared how people would look at “the glop of whitish scar” on her eyes. She was no longer the prettiest and the cutest girl. For six years, Alice did not raise her head and stare at anyone. The scare took everything from her: her beauty, her pride and her person from inside. Alice asked her mother and sister whether she changed. What does she really mean by the word “change”? Her beauty or her personality? The answer was “no” but this was because Alice’s mother and sister did not want to hurt her or because they really thought that she had never changed? What they saw in her is her personality not her appearance. However, Alice at that time was only a little girl. I do not expect she will care or think deeper about things and people around her. The eight years old girl only cared that people would never admire or applauded her again. To the little Alice, beauty was too…

    It is about how detrimental biases of race and disability can be to a society. We know that the girls are of different skin color and we see in the story that this leads them to live completely different lives. The author communicates that, unfortunately, people do discriminate based on your appearance. In the diner when Roberta pretends to care little about Maggie, she later explains that her motive behind her rude, belittling attitude was that, “in those days: black--white… everything was.”(218) The bias stood between Twyla and Roberta’s friendship. Another bias that stood in the way of their friendship were those towards Maggie. Twyla would make fun of Maggie calling her “bow legs,” and, “dummy” (206) and both girls would watch her get beat up by the older kids and not do anything to stop it. At the diner, when they were trying to remember what had happened, they argued over Maggie’s race. Twyla didn’t want to have watched a black woman get kicked so she convinced herself that Maggie was white as if that was better, but when neither can remember what race she really was they realize that doesn’t…

They gagged as her had to attach the bands of neon yellow, pink, orange, or green across her teeth, little pegs that aggravated her gums being the only thing keeping them in place. She had to put her hands in her mouth every time she wanted to eat or sing the school’s show choir. (They snapped if she didn’t remove them for choir class, and it hurt like hell when they did.) She learned to find some place secluded to remove or replace new bands from the little sandwich bag containing hundreds.…

    Our world today has been broken down, mostly by destruction for others. War after war we fight, beauty is nonexistent, and hatred, evil, and destruction fill our souls. We can connect our daily lives with a short story by Ray Bradbury, The Smile, where destruction takes place. The Smile portrays a story of gruesome destruction, which is shown through art, specifically, the Mona Lisa, war, and broken down civilizations, which connects directly into our society and current events, such as the ongoing issues with Syria and North Korea, for example, they are breaking down their civilizations, likewise with The Smile. The intro is confusing. What point does the story make about art? How does that connect to the Syria and North Korea situations?…

    I have watched this video and can say that I've heard a lot about the benefits of a smile. For example: if you smile you look lovelier, a smile can light up someone's day, or pick someone mood, but I never thought that the benefits of a smile so much, it is not only external but also internal use! Smiling meditation will be a very interesting experience for me, not only interesting and also useful for my inner peace and well-being! In my opinion, if something in our lives (like our smile or smiling meditation) can change us for the better side, or we can change someone for the better, we should certainly try it. Well, now I transgress the first in my life inner smiling meditation ... Let see what happens...…
