WHY WE CRAVE HORROR MOVIES ,by Stephen King
The compare with the roller coaster is show that most people have desire to show they are not afraid. The horror movies provide the violence view to satisfied the desire of the public lynchings within people. Sick jokes is similar with horror movie as people might laugh at it even if the joke or the movie is not "right" for normal person.
INNOCENTS AFIELD, by Buzz Bissinger
The Bissinger used "million" and "just" repeatedly in paragraph three. He use those words to signal the nonexistent and the actual purchases of high school sports. The repetition is pretty effective, in my opinion. The "million" makes the point sounds dramatic and many "just" shows how many people think that the problem is not that important but in reality it is important.
BLACK MEN AND PUBLIC SPACE ,by Brent Staples
The author opens the pieces with such a dramatic,yet intentionally misleading, narrative to provide a personal experience and how people automatically assume that black men are murder-to-be or danger stranger even though they are really not. At first, we assume he will mugging or do something bad to the white lady, turn out he was innocent and not want to harm her in any ways. The assumption we make according to the appearance might not be right. Just because he is black does not mean he is automatically bad.
