PED's

                People have used drugs to boost power in order to have an advantage in sports competition. Even thought some believe that it's fine to take PED's (Performance Enhancing Drugs), it should be banned because it destroys the sport spirit in three major ways.

                 One of the most common reasons why athletes should not take the drugs is because it is bad for their health. The PED's are made with chemicals that have an effect on them including excessive hair, aggressive behavior, in addition to a risk of heart and liver disease. The costs of health to take such things are not worth considering; therefore, athletes should be very careful on trying these kinds of drugs.

                In addition to health problems, PED's make the field of competition unfair for those who have not taken it. Sports should be based on talents abilities, not fighting to win at all costs. Winning can not be bought and buy athletes. "A victory on the athletic field should be a triumph for the athlete, not the feat of a high-priced chemist working in a laboratory"(Catlin D 2012). Athletes have to show their abilities and skills the deserve titles.

              Since athletes have used PED's for a time, people now concern ones who take drugs. This makes people be careful on loving and cheering for their favorite athletes. For that reason, athletes may have lost their reputations because of other athletes using drugs; therefore, PED's must be completely banned on the athletic fields.

Response to Q.1

          Generally, short movies have short dialogues, but it's not the best way to view a point. Scenes that happen in the movie express feelings of characters. When the audience see a person in the movie, they can understand their feeling just from the look on the face or how they react. For example, when children were playing with water, Vincenté was frightened when he the water splashed on him. By that, we can tell that Vincenté had a bad experience of water as he's an environmental refugee. Same idea happened when he was washing hi hands and he lost attraction on water. In addition, Vincenté broke ice two times. This shows that he hates ice because it melted and a tsunami washed away his family. Dialogues may not always be the best way to explain stories, but actions and face expressions can connect to the watcher emotionally.
