part1- chapter 3

First of all Monsieur Meursault is called by his boss, and he tells him he is going to open a new work in Paris and that he would like him to be working for him. Then Raymond also called him because he wants to invite him and Marie to the beach on Sunday which he sounds excited. Later on Marie asks him to marry him, but he actually doesn’t care at all and just says yes but he also tells her he doesn’t love her and he would Mary any other women being in the same situation. ´´She just wanted to know if I would have accepted the same proposal from another woman, with whom I was involved in the same way. I said sure´´(pg.42)

First of all I want to say that this is a very cruel answer and empty answer because even though he is being sincere at the same time its to harsh. I personally think that this is a situation that happens in real life many times in many different situations. We can see people who just get marry for money, other that get married because it is now time to get a family and have a life. Other couples get married because they messed up and are going to have a baby. But is this good? I do not want to defend Mersault but, once and again I can say he is being sincere. But is this good or bad? We can also relate this situation with normal life situation when you don’t know what is best to say a truth that hurts or a lie that will not?

Anyway they spend sometime together then when he got home he found Salamano on his door and he came in and started talking about his lost dog. Here he acts a little more interested. Is he really interested? At the next day they go to the beach to Raymonds friend. They get to the beach and go into the water and he says something that capture my attention a lot ´I felt her legs wrapped around mine and I wanted her´(pg.51). This is very important in my opinion because if he does not love her why does he feel sexually attracted to her? Why does he say this kind of thins? Does he really have feelings? All that I can say is then Mersault is a very strange person, and that he acts sometimes like he doesn’t care at all but he contradicts himself. I personally think there is something wrong with him that we are going to find out later on in the story.

CANDIDE CH 1 - 2

This book has been confusing because I dont get the ´´humor´´ you talk about. What I have understand is that Candide is a bastard child and he has a tutor. He likes Lady Cunegonde and then he kisses her after seeing the ´´best´´ tutor kissing her ´´mothers waiting-woman´´(21) and then she kisses Candide because she wanted to try what she saw. Then Candide is taken to Waldberghoff'-trarbk-dikdoff where he is kidnapped. He is almos killed but he is saved by the King ´´ The king of the Bulgars passed by at the moment and asked what crime the culprit had committed. Since the king was a man of great insight, he recognized from what he was told about Candide that here was a young philosopher utterly ignorant of the ways of the world, and granted him a pardon´´(24)
I am really confused of what is happening but that is what I have understand until know

Nice guys finish first

This chapter is mostly about the way you will act if you are in a complicated situation in the one you can gain completly of loss it all. We did various examples of this inclass, about prisones, games, boyfriends, drugdealers and other more. The chapter starts giving an example of Prisoner's Dilemma. ''There is a banker who adjudicates and pays out winnings to the two players. Suppose that I am playing against you. There are only two cards...COOPERATE DEFECT...'' In conclusion is about the way in which you can do things without communicationg with the other person you are playing or the threat is putten to se hoew much you can think wisely to win in all ways. In my opinion as shown in the difffrent examples, people think mostly in themselves all the time and are selfish and do as possible to win more. In some occations the both players have to think for the both to win, but the inmediate question of everyone is always getting the best for them, in a selfish way, and them think in the rest. Later, the chapter talks about the way that a computer programm ''plays'' the game and finds a way in which yu can always win, lose, or just not gaining anything.
The person that wins is the person which thinks the most and thinks in the wise way not be selfish and thinking the right way to always win something.

Immortal Coils

Reading this chapter I got a little confused and the scince became top much to me because I did not understant many of the words. This has been the hardest chapter untill know. In class we discussed some and the understanding was better
Alles: Two or more genes that are rival fot the same slot in a chromosome. One is dominant and the other receive.
Meiosis: Division of a cell into a new cell, but only occurs in the sex cells the sperm and egg
Mitosis: Is the process by which cells divided or replicated into new cells each one reaciving a copy of 46 chromosomes.
Start symbol: Is a sequence of nuclear tides coding for the start of the protein chain.
End symbol_ Is a sequence of nuclear tides coding the end of the protein chain
Point mutation: Is an error that is misinterpretated in a nuclear typu sequence.
This chapter is all about the DNA, reproduction, sex and about science. It was kind of confusing

Richard Dawkins - The Selfish Gene - Meet the author

I think this video is not really specific. I am reading the book but I do not understand what it has to do with Ortodox but the only thing I understood was the alturism and the selfish genes that we talked about that before. I did not know the book was so old and it is really confusing to me, and most of all that he would write it the same way after so many years and so much new science appearing in the world.

The replicators

In this chapter Daewkins stars talking about the way that Darwins explained the theory of evolution. ''Shows us a way in which simplicity couls change into complexity, how uorderes atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patters until they ended up manufacturing people''(12) He says that the theory of Darwin of ''survival of the fittesr'' is more ''survival of the stable'' He says the universe is populated by stable things. '' A stable thing is a collection of atoms that is permamnent enough or common enough to ddeserce a name''(12) He starts giving examples such as: soap bubbles, salt crystals, hydrogen atoms and haemoglobin molecules. '' Haemoglobin is a modern molecule, used to illustrate the princuple that atoms tend to fall into stable patters''(13)
Later, he gets to the point of the Peplicator. '' Remarkable molecule was formed by accident''(14) He also says it may not be the biggerst or more complex molecule '' extraordinary property of being able to create copies of itself''(15) He says the way that when improbable things happen in the lives of a human they aree considered as impossible. He starts talking about the replicatos and then it says that it can act as a template not for an identical copy but a negative. '' re- make an exact copy of the original ''positive'' ''(16)
This book is being complicated, but in a way its getting interesting and a way of learning.
