Response to the Kidd, Hickey and Weschler

Kidd

First, when i saw the title of the book 'Cheese Monkeys', it really make me think that what is the relation between these two creatures. Then i read a section of the book, i still can not get why the author  use this abstract title. But it is really fun to read the section. The author represent the third dimension which can never be experienced by those who in two dimension. It is said that people in two dimension are poor whereas the other people in the fourth or fifth dimension are mock we are poor. So the universe is infinity and if in this case, even though right now we human beings are the ruler of the world, there exits another more advanced creatures are actually controlling us.

It also mentioned 'left to right, top to bottom, big and small'. It is like that everything has a connection with each other. As for me, i normally put Big important things in front of small less important things or i put title on top as i consider it is vital for readers to first know the overall theme in the following article.

Hickey

At the beginning of the article, it presented a classic NBA final game in 1980. Actually, I am not a big fan of NBA. I am not familiar with the basketball players, their team names, and the rules i knew are learned from high school PE class which are quite basic. But i do can feel the thrill moment when one basketball player is trying to field goal in the very last second in the game even when i have no idea which team is going to win. Still exciting !

In this text, it introduce the importance of rules formulation in the basketball game. It makes those great moments becoming possible and necessary or they are chaos that players do what they like to shot basketballs to get the score. More deeply, rules are inevitable in life. They let people behave well and the society has the right order. 

Weschler

What surprised me in this article is that the process of digital animators is so complicated that even a glass of milk needs thousands of delicate work for the best effect in the movie. But i can not figure that why dinosaurs are easier than milk. In my point of view, dinosaurs such huge creature contains complicated body that when it moves, other part of its body related will change, either.

Also, i learned that 44 muscles on face are able to produce 5000 distinct expressions. This reminds me of a very popular American TV series 'lie to me'. Dr. Lightman, a Psychologist good at people's micro-expression, claims that people tell lies in every ten minutes and he could analyze criminals' facial expression and body language to attain the truth.
