Response to the Kidd, Hickey and Weschler articles

Kidd The Cheese Monkeys Excerpt

The way we think, see, write obeys the order that is from left to right. From the article, we may know that this is important to the western world. As a Chinese, I know that in the old time, Chinese usually read and write from right to left. However, nowadays, the order of think or see is similar with the western world. I think it shows the different way of thinking and the different respect of viewing a problem.

I have a difficulty in understanding In Front Of and In Back Of. As far as I am concerned, it always depends on the space, the color of the items and other aspects but not only the ocation.

Hickey The Heresy of Zone Defense 

As I know a little about the basketball, I am not a big fan of the basketball. However, almost all of my friends love it so much. After reading this article, I understand a lot of the improvement of the rules, which help the game become more fair. In my opinions, everything needs to be improve as the basketball rules. As basketball has the advanced rules and outstanding look and feel, it becomes such a popular sports among people all over the world.

As I am not a big fan of basketball, I am a little confused about the first several paragraphs. Sometimes it is really hard for me to image the action of the players.

Weschler Uncanny Valley 

Actually, I love anime very much. The article tells me how difficult and complex it is to model the characters well, especiall making a face alive. As we know, the movement of face represents our innermost being. It is the art to use the technology to make the characters so real, but not too real I mean. So it is very interesting to me.

I don't really understand why the characters are looked too real in the article. I always think it is better to look as real as possible to be close to our real life. But actually, that is not the turth.
