Long Life

In the story "The Secret", it is definitely unfair to keep the discovery a secret to the people on Earth. People on the moon can live up to two hundred years old, but the people on Earth can't? If the people on Earth founds out this discovery, they would be very mad at the people working on the moon. They would be mad because it is very unfair that the people on the moon can have this advantage. People on Earth might start a riot and protest to the government about this unfair treatment. Some people think that it is good to live longer, but there are some bad things that might happen if you live longer. One of them is that you might get illnesses or other bad diseases easier. As you get old, your body gets older too, which means that you body isn't working that well compare to a twenty year old man or women. If I can live up to at lease two hundred years old, but all my friends and family members dies before me, it would be quite painful. All of the people you know died, that means you have no more friends to talk with, and they can't help you with something when you have problems. If this happens to me, I would rather die instead be able to live up to two hundred years old.

The Secret

In the story, it was not the first time Henry Cooper went on the moon. Henry Cooper was suspicious when he visited the moon because everyone is avoiding to talk to him. During his last visit, people are all joyful and willing to talk and to know him. This time, everyone was all quiet. Dr. Hasting had found out that living things can live longer on the moon than on Earth. Dr. Hasting showed Henry a ten years old hamster. It is really surprising to Dr. Hasting because a normal hamster can only live up to two years of age. There are other hamsters that is twenty years old. Henry also asked Dr. Hasting that how long would a human live on the moon according to this theory. Dr. Hasting was estimating about two hundred years. Dr. Hasting doesn't want to let this get known to the other people because news spreads very fast. He doesn't want people to know these things that are just discovered. If people know this, everyone would want to live on the moon because now you can live up to two hundred years old. Normally a human who can live up to about ninety years old are classified as long-living. Now on the moon, you can live up to two hundred years old. Which is a surprising and joyful news to the people.

Writing is DIfficult

To me, the statement "writing is suppose to be difficult, agonizing, a dreadful exercise, a terrible occupation." means that writing IS a difficult and dreadful exercise. Writing is difficult, but why would people want to do it as a job? It is because they enjoy writing. Because of your feeling towards the thing you liked, you will have more feeling of doing it. To me, writing is a very difficult thing to accomplish. You need to care about your grammar, your choice of words, and the way you write. These complicated things are all things that kept me from hating writing. There are some other things that is similar to writing, take a professional tennis player for example. Tennis is hard, and tiring, tennis players choose this as their job is because they love to play tennis. Because of their feelings towards tennis. Even though it is tiring and challenging, they still love to play tennis and compete with other people. Like I said, the feelings of you liking the thing, it can let you forget how painful it is to do that event. Being a professional tennis player is hard. You got to train in many different ways, they work very hard to be the top tennis players in the world. How did they do this? Because of their feelings towards tennis.
