1.     What is Greene's thesis in “How Unwritten Rules Circumscribe Our Lives”? 

: The unwritten rules we live by probably govern our lives on a more absolute basis than the ones you could find if you looked in the lawbooks.

2.     What are some of the examples he gives to support it? 

a. Wait for a red light late at night.

b.     At major athletic events, it is not uncommon to find 80,000 or 90,000 or 100,000 people sitting in the stands.

d.     There are long lines rest room from men and women, but males wait to enter their own washrooms, and women to enter theirs.

e.      A man, when he pulls his car up to a parking meter, will put change in the meter even if there is time left on it.

3.     Are all of his examples equally strong? Do any of them strike you as unconvincing?

: I think all of his examples are equally strong.

4.     Why is it important that the laws discussed by the writer are unwritten? Do you agree that these laws govern our lives more strongly than written ones?

: Because the laws are from the customs that appear in a society. Yes, I agree because sometimes these laws are in accordance with the norms and culture that exist in society.

5.     Which of the laws given by the writer are true in your culture? Give examples to support your answer.

: There are long lines rest room from men and women, but males wait to enter their own washrooms, and women to enter theirs. For the example, I was waiting in line in the women's restroom. Even though I see that there is no queue in the men's restroom, I will not enter the men's restroom.

8.     Where does Greene first state his thesis? Does he state it again? If so, where? Do you think his organization is effective?

: On the paragraph 6, in the restaurant. And he is state it again on the paragraph 9. I think his organization is not effective.

: I think yes, the author has given a fairly broad example.

10.  Why are so many of Greene's examples exceptions, that is, examples of people who do not follow the unwritten laws?

: To remind us not to be like those who break the unwritten laws.

1.     Although it's not unusual for words and expressions to lose their subtlety in translation, the negative connotations" of macho in this country are trouble-some to Hispanics.”

2.     - The Hispanic macho is manly, responsible, hardworking, a man in charge, a patriarch. A man who expresses strength through silence. What the Yiddish language” would call a mensch.

- The American macho is a chauvinist, a brute, uncouth, selfish, loud, abrasive, capable of inflicting pain, and sexually promiscuous.

3.     Macho models in this country are Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Bronson. In their movies, they exude toughness, independence, masculinity. But a closer look reveals their machismo is really violence masquerading as courage, sullenness disguised as silence and irresponsibility camouflaged as independence.

4.     Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery and Laurence Olivier. These actors are manly, responsible, hardworking, a man in charge, and a patriarch.

5.     The darker side of macho. The phrase means that the weak side of macho is men who behave arbitrarily, who always have an excuse for their bad behavior. The examples; they are womanized; if men drink, it's because it's the manly thing to do; and if they gamble, it's because it’s how men relax.

6.     It is strengthening her main point. When she is giving the examples of the darker side of macho, this has become evidence that there is a misunderstanding related to the meaning of the word macho.

7.     It means that there is a misunderstanding about the meaning of macho because of the different connotations in the US.

8.     Yes, I agree. I believe that there is always a defense or justification for wrong doing by men. For the example, if men drink, it's because it's the manly thing to do.

9.     In my language have a word called “pecah” which is usually used to express awe, joy or excitement about something, which has a positive meaning. However, when the word is translated into English, it means break. It can cause language miscommunication and will cause weirdness when used. 

1.     – thesis statement: In general, Americans are friendly to strangers. 

- central idea: the reason for that was what I remembered my friends in Saudi Arabia saying about Americans and how they treat strangers. After I attended college, however, I discovered the opposite of what I had expected.

3.     I think the examples are enough.

4.     I think that all of the examples are relevant.

5.     Yes, all of the paragraphs are coherent and unified. 

6.     All of the examples are coherent with the topic and each example is clearly written and focused.

 

 

Exercise 7.1

1.        The customs that govern us are what make a civilization; there would be chaos without them,  yet for some reason-even in the disintergrating society of 1982-we obey them.

2.        For support it he gives exapmles stopped at a red light late at night, at major atletic event, in the some restaurant people pay their checks and so on.

3.       Yes I think all the examples are equally strong to support the thesis  .

4.        Because some laws have connection with customs in society. Yes I agree,  because we live closer to this unwritten laws and we use it more as a daily rule.

5.        pay the check first when buying something, sometimes I know if people want to pay the check first when buying something.

6.       Students in kindergarten until high school must kiss hand(Salim) of the teacher before goes to home, it is form of respecting a teacher.

7.        Stole tips can be a serious problem, I think its evil deeds, dirty, and not commendable. If someone does not accept this incident and wants to beat the thief, it can be fatal and harm many parties

8.        On par 6, he state it again on par 9. I think if the organization of paragraph is effective.

9.        I think yes, because the writer need have a broad experience for give a good thesis and example

10.    It means for the reader must remember about unwritten laws and their must obey with it.

 

Exercise 7.2

1.       At the top of his voice: make a very loud sound

Example: someone behind me yelled at the top of his voice while called the young girl in front of me.

2.       At top of his lungs: make a very loud sound

Example: I never knew a rock vocalist screamed at top of his lungs as Oliver Sykes.

3.       Run into: experience or meet someone 

Example: If you run into any problems, feel free to let me know.

4.       Raise your voice: speak with angry or mad emotion and speak up ideas in your brain

Example: if you have any questions about today's material, raise your voice / You don't need to raise your voice to call sister when you're at home.

5.       Nowhere near enough: a situation when something is not close enough or does not meet what we need

Exercise 7.3

Americans:  a chauvinist, a brute, uncouth, selfish, loud, abrasive, capable of inflicting pain, and sexually promiscuous.

3.       In the essay Guilbault given examples Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Charles Bronson as definition of macho in American meaning .  Because, in their movies, they exude toughness, independence, masculinity. But a closer look reveals their machismo is really violence masquerading as courage, sullenness disguised as silence and irresponsibility camouflaged as independece.

4.       In the essay Guilbault given examples Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery and Laurence Olivier as definition of macho in Hispanic. In Spanish macho ennobles Latin males. In English it devalues them. This pattern seems consistent with the conflict ethnic minority males experience in this country. Typically the cultural traits other sociesties value don’t translate as desirable characteristics in America.

5.        It has connection while in patriarchal society, few challenge their roles. If men drink, it’s because it’s  the manly thing to do. If they gamble, it’s because it’s how men relax. And if they fool around, well , it’s because a man simply can’t hold back so mush man.

6.        Yes, she already including the section on darker side of macho

7.        The impact of language make misunderstanding abou meaning of macho, in US they have different connotation about it

9.       In my country we have word “rima” means a repetition of comparable sounds withinside the very last pressured syllables and any following syllables of  or extra words. However, in Maori language it means number five.

Exercise 7.5

1.thesis statement: Americans are friendly to strangers.

Main idea: I came to the United States one year ago and I had no idea about life in the United States and American traditions, except that life was complicated and the people are strange.

2. the writer of essay give 2 examples for support the thesis statement , yes the examples are explained adequately.

3. I am not sure if examples enough to explained about how Americans are friendly to strangers

4. I don't think if examples are relevant, because I've watched if some Americans are racist with Asians. Could it be that if the foreigners are Asian, they would still be friendly?.

5.  yes, there are coherent and unified because I can easy to understood.

6. the essay is organized we can see if examples are support with thesis statement and each paragraph are connected and neatly arranged .

 

 

 

 

1. There are so many rules like these—rules we all obey—that we think about them only when that rare person violates them.

2. -When you are eating among other people, you do not raise your voice. 

-Stopped at a red light at night.

-Sports match spectators stay in the audience.

-In restaurants and coffee shops, people pay their checks.

-Men who keep queuing in public toilets for them and women who also queue in public toilets for them

-Even a killer man still doesn't enter the women's restroom even though his goal is to kill a woman.

-Pay for their time on the perimeter even if there is still time left.

-You left someone else’s tip on the bar until it got to the bartender.

3. I don't think all the examples are strong. I don't believe in the paragraph about a murderer who keeps waiting outside the women's restroom just because of an unwritten rule. a murderer is a person who has no feelings, they even kill their fellow man, of course they won't care about the rules of the women's restroom that men are not allowed to enter.

4. Because the text above discusses the power of unwritten rules in their application in society, it is very important that the rules discussed in the text are unwritten rules to fit the topic of discussion.

I don't think that these unwritten rules are stronger than the written rules. Because written rules are also strong rules that people obey. Although it can be said that there are some people who violate it, the majority who obey the written rules show that the written rules are as strong as the unwritten rules, and vice versa.

5.  The law in my culture is not to raise your voice when you eat among other people. my mother always told us not to raise our voices while eating in restaurants or cafes. Sometimes we were so busy chatting that we didn't even realize we were making loud noises, so my mother had to warn us over and over again.

6. In Paris, you should always say bonjour when you enter a shop or restaurant. When leaving the location, say au revoir.

7. In my opinion, the unwritten rule that has become basic in many countries from the text above is that men and women go to their respective toilets. and an unwritten rule that seems relatively minor a matter of form or taste is a man who pays for the parking meter even though there is plenty of time left, my reasoning is that not all countries implement a parking meter system.

8. at Johnny Deadline Reporter: The Best of Bob Green and American Beat. No, he doesn't. Yes, I think the organization is effective.

9. Yes, I think it's quite effective. Because from the text I understand the power of unwritten rules that apply to people all over the world.

10. In my opinion, because he wants to show that no matter how strong a rule is, there are still people who will break it even if only a few people. this shows that unwritten rules are not very strong rules that beat written rules and still have weaknesses.

1. with the loudest voice.

2. with all my might.

3. collide with someone or something.

4. speak more loudly.

5. not at all near to.

6. be successful.

1. The impact of language in our society is undeniable. And the misuse of macho hints at a deeper cultural misunderstanding that extends beyond mere word definitions.

2. The Hispanic macho is manly, responsible, hardworking, a man in charge, a patriarch. A man who expresses strength through silence. 

The American macho is a chauvinist, a brute, uncouth, selfish, loud, abrasive, capable of inflicting pain, and sexually promiscuous.

3. Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charles Bronson. In their movies, they exude toughness, independence, masculinity. But a closer look reveals their machismo is really violence masquerading as courage, sullenness disguised as silence and irresponsibility camouflaged as independence.

4. Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery, and Laurence Olivier. Because, these guys meet the criteria for the meaning of the word macho in Hispanic. 

5. The phrase means the opposite of the word macho which is defined as a man who is responsible, hardworking, reliable, and so on. The example of it are Guilbault’s uncles.

6. In my opinion, the darker side of macho strengthens the main point, because what is shown in the darker side of macho shows a big difference with macho, so the picture of the meaning of the word macho becomes clearer and more convincing.

7. The word macho is often misunderstood in some countries, so that the meaning of a man who was responsible and reliable becomes a man who is considered lazy.

8. Yes, I agree with that statement. Such as the culture in Indonesia where we prefer to eat with our hands rather than using cutlery. Meanwhile, in America eating with hands is considered a dirty thing.

9. There is one Indonesian word, namely "micin" or commonly known as flavoring. But in korea, the word "micin" is defined as a crazy person.

1. Thesis statement: In general, Americans are friendly to strangers

Main idea: The reason for that was what I remembered my friends in Saudi Arabia saying about Americans and how they treat strangers. After I attended college, however, I discovered the opposite of what I had expected. 

2. The writer gives two examples. Yes, they are.

3. I think there are enough example.

4. Yes, they are relevant.

5. Yes, the paragraphs are coherent and unified.

6. Paragraphs are well organized. Statement in each paragraph is continuous with the other paragraphs. Each example given is also relevant and supports the main topic well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Greene’s thesis is ‘The customs that govern us are what make a civilization; there would be chaos without them, and yet for some reason-even in the disintegrating society of 1982-we obey them.’

3. All of the examples are strong enough to prove his thesis statement.

4. I think it is important and I agree that unwritten law more strongly because if we break these rules then can get severe sanction which is social sanctions.

5. People always enter the restroom according their gender. I rarely see people enter the bathroom not according to their gender, but if there is any, people will be judging.

6. Unwritten law in my culture is kissing hand to our parents or to other people who is older then us.

7. The basic one is people pay their checks because as we knew that people in restaurant are wanting to eat something and how we can get the food is by pay it.

8. Greene’s first state is in sixth paragraph and he restate again in eleventh paragraph and I think his organization is effective.

9. Yes it is broad enough because there are many examples that we can find in our daily life.

10. Because there are always people who violate the rules well its written or not.

1. at the top of his voice means very loudly

Ex: He singing at the top of his voice

2. At the tops of his lungs means very loudly

Ex: That person yelling at the top of his lungs.

3. Run into means to meet someone you know when you are not expecting to

Ex: Dita run into someone she used to know at high school

Ex: don’t you raise your voice when you speak to your mom

5. Nowhere near enough means not at all

Ex: The house is nowhere near enough finished

6. Make good means pay or do the right things

Ex: My uncle owed thousands, but eventually he made good on all of his debts

1. Thesis of Guilbault’s essay is Although it's not unusual for words and expressions to lose their subtlety in translation, the negative connotations" of macho in this country are trouble-some to Hispanics.”

4. they might be Jimmy Stewart, Sean Connery and Laurence Oliver.

5. The represent of the dark side of macho is writer’s uncles who drank and womanized

6. In my opinion it is strengthen the main point because it shows another side about macho

7. there is misunderstanding in the meaning. A word that represented something positive in one culture became a negative in another.

8. Yes I do agree because every people or region will always have its own culture or tradition.

9. ‘seronok’ in Malaysia and Indonesia have different meaning. In Indonesia it has an negative meaning while in Malaysia it means fun.
