Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on
the ground. But we've never lost an astronaut in flight. We've never had a tragedy like
this.
o Even though the casualties of this event where just seven I think it impacted on a
way more physiological and emotional level to Americans.
o I definitely think its great that Reagan “remembers the astronauts from 19 year
ago because then he goes on to explain how these astronauts must also be
remembered.
o At the time there was a war against Russia and this space initiative was
strengthened to “beat” Russia, therefore this disaster meant more than a few
lives it also meant a great loss of idealism and respect in this “war”
For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy.
But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were
daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me
a challenge, and I'll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and
discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us.
o I perceive this paragraph in a very religious way since god gives us strength
through our lives but does not change our or disappear our problems
o I remember my grandfather who was killed and I know how hard it is t recover
from a would that is not material and if you’ve suffered loss you connect with
the sad feeling of this essay
We're still pioneers. They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.
o America has always had great respect for discovering and exploring and idolizes
these astronauts on the same basis
I know it's hard to understand, but sometimes-painful things like this happen. It's all part
of the process of exploration and discovery.
o I don’t agree there’s a process of exploration, there’s more of a process of life
and things happen we cant change that.
o I don’t agree with exploration and discovery as the reason for tragedy, life’s can
be unfair but we cant change reality we must instead learn to live with it
We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public.
o This quote is just completely hilarious =)

Felipe Izquierdo
http://americanrhetoric.com/speeches/ronaldreaganchallenger.htm
Speaker:
The speaker is Ronald Reagan, leader of the land of the free, and president to the
United States of America. At the time probably the most influential man on earth
he is in charge of a nation and being an example for the rest of the world. His fellow
countrymen died and it is his responsibility to address all others he is in charge of.
Occasion:
The occasion is part of the world’s most active years in space programs. A race in
the cold war to reach new boundaries 1986 exemplifies the effort to beat Russia.
The Challenger mission has just ended in a disaster, which killed its participant’s o
national television. It is the reaction to this tragic event, which is the whole purpose
of this speech.
Audience:
To all American citizens, because their “role models” have died and their pride
harmed. All Americans are collateral to this accident since it shows weakness to the
international community. Specifically to the families of the people in the accident
which suffered the most. The international community is also addressed because
Regan wants to show that there not slowing down or losing their spirit.
Purpose:
Reagan has two main purposes, mourning and reinforcing. He wants to recognize
the brave who everyday take risks for America and in this occasion died bravely.
He wants them to be knowd as heroes and their memory to never be forgotten.
The second purpose is for Americans to not loose hope in the space program and
instead to cherish and embrace it even more. He is clear in stating the importance
of the space program and reaffirms its support for it as a country. He also wants
everyone to know that this speed bump will not slow America down in any way, and
he declares that there will be even more volunteers, scientists, and Americans to
carry out this program.
Subject:
Reagan specifically states these 2 purposes and the content of his speech. He
describes the disaster and proceeds to explain their action. He acknowledges the
deaths of these astronauts and describes how honest they are about the space
program and the difficulties and dangers it has.
Tone:
The tone of this speech is very clear, its obscure, sad, mournful and hopeful. He
continuously uses sad words like tragedy, loss, and terrible to make clear that it
is very tragic what has happened. He wants for all of America to share this feeling
of recognition for its dead heroes. Dramatically expressing the events of the day
attached to the sentiment of them. At the same time he is also confident it the space
program but keeps its cold feeling throughout the whole speech.

Dialectical Journal: Film Version of Mark Zuckerberg Divides Generations
Felipe Izquierdo
Many older people will watch the movie, which was No. 1 at the box office last
weekend, and see a cautionary tale about a callous young man who betrays friends,
partners, and principles as he hacks his way to lucre and fame.
Response:
• One way or another this is a recurrent theme on everyone’s life.
• Depending on our moral we decide the choices we make.
• Reminds me of every time in our lives when we are posed with making a decision
about taking the “easy way”
By the younger cohort’s lights, when you make an omelet this big — half a billion users
— a few eggs are going to get broken. Or as the film’s artful tag line suggests, “You don’t
get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies along the way.”
Response:
• Is there truly a way to be accepted by everyone?
• This is what life is about, a complex world full of flaws and underachievement. To
me this just tells me nothing is perfect and utopia can’t ever be achieved.
• The author is trying to say that life isn’t all black and white and as you experience
and live there will be problems and decisions that we all have o make
“I think the movie raises the question of whether it is possible to be successful without
being at least a bit” of a brute, said Mr. Denton, who has been called worse on his way
to building his digital media empire. “Much of the movie seemed to be about the virtues
of stubbornness, about not listening to what was said by others around you.”
Reponse:
• This is completely true but at the same time it reminds me of the hundreds of
examples of people who achieve through kindness and hard working
o Like Chris gardener a man who came from nothing became a billionaire
by hard working, caring for others, and being kind for others
Life is a gamble and what works for some will not for others. Being stubborn
•
and close minded can end in misery but I like the idea that this teaches us that
anything can happen and the right decision isn’t always the best definition
• Stubbornness can be seen when we are blinded by greed but at the same time
its necessary for people who are told they wont sauced, they shouldn’t study
and shouldn’t follow their dreams.
“Regardless of what they conclude about who invented Facebook, there is no question
that Mark Zuckerberg is a genius. He doesn’t just have brains. He created something.”
Response:
• No matter what he did and who he “crossed” in his way to success he created a
great product even though he might not of been the role model citizen
• This speaks to me personally and as I set my goal and limits at new heights I
hope and wish that I will achieve them keeping my morals

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/business/media/04carr.html?_r=1&hp
Speaker:
The speaker of this article is a writer for the New York Times undoubtedly one of
the words biggest and most famous new papers. Just by this article being published
is a given fact that its is credible and interesting. The writer David Carr is part of the
audience for the movie “the social network” and comments and replies to the price
of success, genius, and money.
Occasion:
Carr made this article in the eve of the movie “the social network” debuting to
comment on the great things everyone uses like Facebook. It’s his reaction and
opinion on how Facebook was invented, and how it will live on. The setting of
the movie was in the years on the massive Internet growth and as we use these
products day to day we knew nothing about the details of its creation of a personal
life basis of the people involved.
Audience:
The audience is the average human who is middle to upper class. Everyone who
uses technology and money benefit from this article. It directly connects with the
millions if not billions of Facebook users who need to know more of their “dollar
vote” in the economy.
Purpose:
The purpose is to explain the brilliance and morality behind big ideas. To show
that even though multimillion-dollar ideas like Facebook lack of moral surpass in
innovation and we must be careful in the economy with our choices and human
quality. He specifically states all the people he had to betray and disagree with to be
the millionaire Mark Zuckeberg is now.
Subject:
The subject of this article is to talk about how Facebook and Zuckeberg developed.
He wanted to explain all the dilemmas that money and success bring. The line that
needs to be crossed if you want to achieve is what we must all think about. The
author wonders and debates that if you want success there will always have to be
repercussions on a moral, physical, or financial way on someone
Tone:
The tone is quite passive; I consider it to be one of a peaceful debate of the price
of success. He continuously contradicts his ideas in an n argument of beading jerk
or baying “brilliant”. He argumentates both sides equally and is undetermined to
the balance of them. This is all just attached to his open conclusion that relies on its
audience to make a choice with his “arguments” as base.
