Feedback : I found James Clear’s article really interesting because it explains something I see all the time, people sticking to their opinions even when they’re wrong. It made me realize that just giving someone facts isn’t enough to change their mind, especially if it means going against their friends or beliefs. I liked how the article was easy to read and gave useful advice, like focusing on building trust instead of arguing. It definitely made me think differently about how I approach debates or discussions, both in and outside of class.

Feedback : This article really shows how climate change are already affecting millions of people in really serious ways. It’s a wake up call that climate change is here, and we need to act fast, especially in places where people are most at risk

Feedback : It’s both fascinating and a bit scary how advanced AI has become. While the technology is impressive, it also shows the importance of being cautious with personal information online

Who was Elisa Lam?

Elisa Lam was a 21-year-old Canadian student from Vancouver, studying at the University of British Columbia. She traveled alone to California in early 2013 and checked into the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles.

Why is her case famous?

Her death attracted worldwide attention because of eerie elevator surveillance footage and the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance and discovery.

On January 31, 2013, Elisa was last seen at the hotel. She had been calling her parents daily, but suddenly stopped. Her parents, worried, reported her missing. The police searched the hotel, but couldn’t find her.

• Pressing all the buttons

• Peeking out nervously

• Gesturing wildly

• Seeming like she was hiding

🎥 The video went viral. People around the world began speculating — was she scared? Was someone following her? Was it something supernatural?

🚪 There was no clear way she could have accessed the tank, the rooftop was locked and alarmed

The autopsy ruled her death as an accidental drowning. Elisa had bipolar disorder, and her behavior in the elevator was possibly due to a manic episode.

Still, many questions remained:

• How did she get to the rooftop?

• Why was she naked in the tank?

• Was someone else involved?

🕵️‍♀️ Some still believe there’s more to the story.

Some popular theories:

• She was murdered and it was covered up.

• She was hallucinating and climbed into the tank herself.

• Something paranormal happened at the hotel (many deaths occurred there before).

🎞️ In 2021, Netflix released a documentary called “Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel”.

The Elisa Lam case became famous not just because of what happened, but because of the mystery around it. The eerie footage, the hotel’s dark past, and the unanswered questions all made it unforgettable. It reminds us that even in a connected world, some stories remain unsolved.
