minute paper

I enjoyed class today and the group activity was fun. Both articles are
very interesting and it relayed opposite idea. I find Terry Rossio’s
“Mental Real Estate” column to be very interesting, because I never
would have figured or know how to describe or define what Mental Real
Estate is, but it is almost similar to, mind you, a game of
pictography. One word and you will automatically have a mental picture
of what that subject or object looks like. The idea of wordplay seems
really fun to take part in, and the way Terry Rossio described it
relates to the world of Hollywood and he calls it “Mental Real Estate.”
He used the elements, celebrities, and characters from Hollywood as the
basis and reference of his column, just to give his audience a ‘mental
picture’ of what Mental Real Estate means. It sort of correlates to
what we are doing in class, because of everyday issues that revolves
around us that we does not care about. "Tragedy of the Mental Commons"
reflects problems that we faced everyday that people never pay
attention to it.
