Words are a way to show images in the brain. By using them, you create a scan depicted in your mind. Emotions stem for this, and make you feel a certain way about things. Words are also about getting along with others, and designing space. An innovative space. A place where people can think freely and determined.

What goes on in the letter? How does it make you feel that you are receiving these? When you are interacting with someone, how should you act towards them? How should you approach them? What is the setting they are in? Are you comfortable with it? All these questions mean something when trying to speak to someone. Trying to have a conversation with someone is not just talking. It is about listening and thinking.

Notes are an important aspect of not only learning about a subject, but about people as well. You can understand so much about a person just by reading their notes. The way they describe the material they have been learning, and the word choice that they use, all details their thoughts and actions of themselves. Notes are not just about learning about something, they are about asking questions as well.

An example of a designers notes, could be the way a singer may write down their music, or an architect may design their building. Everything stems from the ideas they write down on paper. A song never is written from beginning to end right off the bat. A song music be made in certain aspects. Whether the writer works on certain parts of the song, or places words after certain beats. It is all about notes.

Reading others posts is to be enlightening. Is is a knowledgable experience to go through, and a learning curve as well. To be able to look and decipher what someone else is saying, is a task that is tough to complete right away. You must work at this in order to more understand others. Notes are the best thing when reading a piece of literature.

Positivism: a philosophical system that holds that every rationally justifiable assertion can be scientifically verified or is capable of logical or mathematical proof, and that therefore rejects metaphysics and theism. The theory that laws are to be understood as social rules, valid because they are enacted by authority or derive logically from existing decisions, and that ideal or moral considerations (e.g., that a rule is unjust) should not limit the scope or operation of the law.

The film in fact does speak to show how illusions are a thing us humans hang onto. People do not want to see the world for what it truly is, and want to see everything in a perfect light. That is why we are so far behind socially now days. People do not want to face their fears. Everything needs to be perfect no matter what. Fear is in fact a good thing. To learn from failures is what makes humans so unique. By not facing these, you are only hurting yourself and the human race. Illusions are a reality we must face, and we must conquer these. It is something we will face no matter what in our lives, until the end. But we must face them head on, and not brush them to the side.

In between his various jail stints, he meets and befriends an orphan girl (Paulette Goddard).
