Wearing masks
Wearing masks is a term to people who hide their emotion and feelings . People around
the world wear masks everyday ; most people wear masks in their work . Wearing masks may
change people is point of view about a person because they will hide emotions ; by hiding
emotion , a person will not share what they love with others so they will not try to act like them
to make them like them . Its a easy thing to wear masks these days because it will give the
person more chances to get a job and to get more friends . Superheroes usually hide their feelings
and emotion by wearing a mask . How can people pretend to be someone else to get something
from others ? People mask their emotion even with people that they love .How can people hide
their feelings in the toughest places ?, Can wearing masks be good and can it be bad and where
people wear masks ?
Some masks are good , while others are bad because masks hide a persons emotions they
allow a person to pretend to be something the are not , they allow others to perceive them as
someone else . In the novel Watchmen by Alan Moore , there are many themes that play a big
part in the novel , but the one theme that attracted me and attracted the readers is why
superheroes wears masks . According to the article Wearing the mask inside out By Georgina
Kleege , people can use their facial expressions to mask their true emotion , exactly like a
superheros mask. Wearing masks can also be dangerous for the people . To illustrate , some
people try to steal people is money by wearing mask . Many rich people in the world trying to

find love and the they do but at the end of the road after they married them they find their waives
are liars and they get divorced after that and they get half of the money like Roman Abramovich
hes one of the richest people in the world but his wealth are decreased year by year because he
is giving his ex wifes half of his money (3) .
Emotion and feelings can be masked . People everyday in their life hide emotion and
feelings . To illustrate , sometimes you sit with people that you dont even like but you have to be
respectful with them and dont show them you real feelings about them (1) . Occasionally the
opposite you spent all your day with your parents and your siblings but you didnt show them
your real feeling that you love them more than anything in this world .
We can also see people hide their emotion in the courtroom in order to win to win the
case . One of the most famous example is Mike Tyson , In the article Fear in the courtroom; the
other defense of Mike Tyson Showed us that Tyson covers his fear and emotion by his anger .
Tyson was a witness in the courtroom for his rape trial case . According to Gerry Spence Anger
covers up the emotion of fear, and attorneys and their clients often fail to deal any better with
their fear in the courtroom than Mike Tyson did as a witness in his rape trial . We also see many
like thats reaction in the courtroom attorneys often lies about things to make their clients win the
case . There is a type of people who wear the anger mask to make people get away from them
and protect them .
People also wear masks in wars trying to win it . Many soldiers alliance with their
enemys to fool them . We saw this types to masks in almost every single war in the world . In
another way wearing mask in mask in war is similar to wearing mask when some people are
competing for a job because some people when they are competing with others try to destroy
their works by telling them bad advice and things like that .

Wearing masks can be useful and on the other hand can be harmful . People in the world
right now are wearing masks most of their day and when the remove their masks they usually do
it in their home because people usually get comfortable in their own places . The world right now
encourage people to wear masks like . For example when someone apply for a job in in store like
Nike in one of the duties that he or she have to do is to smile when they are helping customers .
And that what we called wearing a masks cause some people when they do their job they dont
have to show others there identity . And thats in my point of view its a good way to hide
feelings and identity because without smiling in people face in most of retail stores will not
improve the reputation of the store and the income . We come now to the harmful way to masks
your emotion , In the first paragraph I mentioned story about Roman Abramovich and how he
faced the harmful masks .
At the end wearing masks is a good way to superheros to hide their emotion and
behaviors . Wearing masks is not always good sometimes people should be aware from people
who wear masks because maybe they will be a danger for them .In my point of view I think
wear masks Is necessary for superheros to succeed and even the for the people because without
wearing masks teachers and police officers will not have the same status they have right now .
Last thing I advice you to show your real feelings to the people that you love because they really
worth it . You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be
real Victoria Abril .
