In the short story "Hearts and Hands," the author O. Henry suprises readers when at the end of the story two passangers acknowledge Mr. Easton is not the marshall but the counterfeiter, as he has deceived Miss Fairchild with the real marshall's complicity. Thus, O. Henry intends to cause amazement and mislead readers in the same way Mr. Easton misleads Miss Fairchild.
Answer and Explanation:
How do you feel about that statistic?
That statistic makes me feel deceived, misled. Such a high number means half of the information conveyed to us is not completely trustworthy. It is what PR companies want us to think, not real information which we can use to think for ourselves. It is quite a sad reality, and it shows we still have a long way to go before we can think of ourselves as truly free. Knowledge is the rock upon which we can build our freedom. Without it, we are easily controlled and kept chained by those in power.
Do you think most people realize this?
I do not think people realize this. If more people knew about this, there would likely be a public outcry for change and better ways to filter what truly is news and what is not. That is obviously a difficult endeavor. But, just as so many others throughout history, it is worth fighting for.
