Silence is a signal of unhappiness

In pages 185 to 204 we read about the death of Vicotriano Gomez, about an un written book plan, and about some soldier boots.

Victoriano Gomez was a guerrillero, who was The Robin Hood in El Salvador. "He urged the peasants seize land." Pg. 186 He was in a soccer staduim, and he was executed in the middle of the field. "He was shot under the afternoon sun, in the football stadium." Pg 185 We can see how there is was in the middle of a soccer game. So we can deduce that a soccer match is very similar to a war.

In the unwritten book plan, we could see like he would of like to make a dictionary opf words. Some of the words he listed where silence, black, spirits, hierarchy, locked up, fortress, state visit, and life. In each of them he describes a piece of expirience or personal opinion about every word listed.

The word that caught my attention the most was Silence. He describes, like silence is bad in every sense, he explains how silence is a sign of unhappiness or trouble. "This neglect reveals the absence of that infallible intuition that every mother has when her child falls suddenly silent in its room." Pg 189 In this quotation I realized it is true sometimes a silence is more expresive than words. When I read this I remembered of moments where something worried me and I was more silent than the usual and my mother instantly knew something was wrong. They always have a six sense when it relates with their children. "Mothers know silence signifies something wrong." Pg189 "Silence is a signal of unhappiness and, ofen, of a crime." Pg 189 This frase is very true, when people are sometimes guilty, they rather be silent than speak, maybe because they feel safer, and with less propability of being caught, or fall into saying something inadecuate. And certainly it is a sign of unhappiness, because people prefer to keep things to themselves, due to the fear they might feel of being judged by others. "Is there more of what is said or of what is not said?" This quotation made me think a lot and it is true, politicians and high executives, sometimes feel the need of hiding information, weather it is personal or not, so they dont damage the image they need in a daily bases to prosper and to succeed in their areas. Not only politicians and high executives hide issues, every human being, hides things they rather others not to know. People hide their own issues, because it is a part of themselves, they dont like and they dont want to show, in order to be liked by others.
