“People who are quiet have something to hide.”
I totally this disagree with this statement. It doesn’t matter if your loud or quiet. You might be quiet because your shy and you don’t want to talk to many people or maybe your just socially awkward, you don’t like talking to people. While there’s other people who are loud and likes to express their feelings or just like being the center of attention or just like being with people.
I can honestly say that most people that are loud are hiding something because you don’t suspect they would be hiding something because they express their feelings... So you think. For example, this girl Annabell is always loud, outgoing, and loves to meet new people, but what you don’t know is that she hides that her parents fight everyday and gets abused by her dad. Its a true story most people are like that and hide their personal life and pull off a fake one and pretend they have a happy life.
I know this boy that’s quiet in school and doesn’t really like talking to people but a few of his close friends. His a really nice kid. There’s nothing wrong. He never hides anything from his parents. His always honest and tells it how it is. This kid is always happy even though you might think his depressed or a freak, but you shouldn’t judge him until you really meet him.
So lets say you see a quiet girl walking the halls and shes doesn’t talk to anyone on her way to class, you think shes hiding something? That’s not right. Haven’t you heard, never judge a book by its cover? Maybe she just has a lot on her mind and she just wants to be alone. It doesn’t necessarily mean she has something to hide! It just means shes on a mission to not be late to class. Simple as that.
As you can see quiet people don’t hide anything and if so its just maybe because they don’t want to talk about it. So therefore they hide it. But most people do this. Loud, quiet, popular, or even the band geek. They all have either something they hide or they just don’t want to talk about.
1. I mostly agree with this person’s stance on the topic. I think that it is possible for people who are loud to be hiding their feelings, but it is also possible for quiet people to be hiding their feelings. The author implies that only loud people are hiding things and that is not true. Both quiet and loud people can be hiding the pain of their parents divorce, or the hurt of being abused (emotionally and physically), or just sadness in general. People are people and they deal with their pain in different ways.
ReplyDelete2. I think the first example about Annabell defiantly is the most persuasive. It popped out at me because both Annabell and I are loud. The only difference is that Annabell is being abused and her parents fight all the time, and I’m just me. I get sad sometimes and mad but just because you mostly see me happy doesn’t mean I’m faking being happy.
3. I think the author did a great job of setting up the essay. “this girl Annabell is always loud, outgoing, and loves to meet new people, but what you don’t know is that she hides that her parents fight everyday and gets abused by her dad.” This really brings the person to life because people get abused every day by their parents.
I agree with you, some times the loudest kids are hiding some thing, and some of the quiet kids have absolutely nothing to hide.
