SAT写作素材电影电视的影响

　　This is a uniqueessay; it is written in a more literary style than the traditional cutand dried approach of most essays. It is refreshing to read such essays!

　　Hesitating, Ienter my house, the light outside is dimming and the shadows make everythingappear unfamiliar. I know that my husband has not returned from work yet,simply because his car is not in the garage. I am alone. I carefully check allthe rooms, almost expecting something to happen suddenly. I hold my bag in myhand as if it were a weapon. After the whole house has been declared clear, Istart to breathe normally again and a smile appears on my face as I realize,once again, how a simple movie seen at the cinema a week earlier can modify myactions.

　　Sometimes I wonderif I should watch TV, with all its shows that make me wonder whether I exerciseenough, whether I am slim enough, or whether I treat my pets with the care theydeserve: am I really concerned about their mental health? Not to mention thehundreds of commercials that try to make me believe I need a water purifier toremain alive since the water I am currently drinking is heavily polluted! Andcountless are the times when I have heard people talking by quotations learnedfrom movies? We need to watch shows and films to know what to say, how to be,how to act. We are so addicted to all this that it almost seems like we cannotthink on our own.

　　I cannot helpthinking about what happened to me some days ago, an example that clearly showswhat kind of power TV has over people. My husband and I were in a restaurantwhen I heard my young neighbor pronouncing violent words in a low angry voice.Surprised, I turned to better understand the situation and I saw that he washolding a fake military device and was acting as if he were filming a warmovie. I am sure that if I had been a little be more updated about this type ofmovie, I would have recognized what he was saying as a quotation. Now, I wonderif he uses such a language also with his friends and with his parents, if he isaggressive, and if so, whether his attitude has really nothing to do with whathe watches on TV.
