    It is about how detrimental biases of race and disability can be to a society. We know that the girls are of different skin color and we see in the story that this leads them to live completely different lives. The author communicates that, unfortunately, people do discriminate based on your appearance. In the diner when Roberta pretends to care little about Maggie, she later explains that her motive behind her rude, belittling attitude was that, “in those days: black--white… everything was.”(218) The bias stood between Twyla and Roberta’s friendship. Another bias that stood in the way of their friendship were those towards Maggie.

    She had her girls who loved her color coordinated outfit/braces combo. They loved her smile. Well, that was until the bands came in. They gagged as her had to attach the bands of neon yellow, pink, orange, or green across her teeth, little pegs that aggravated her gums being the only thing keeping them in place. She had to put her hands in her mouth every time she wanted to eat or sing the school’s show choir. (They snapped if she didn’t remove them for choir class, and it hurt like hell when they did.) She learned to find some place secluded to remove or replace new bands from the little sandwich bag containing hundreds.…

    Our world today has been broken down, mostly by destruction for others. War after war we fight, beauty is nonexistent, and hatred, evil, and destruction fill our souls.

The Smile portrays a story of gruesome destruction, which is shown through art, specifically, the Mona Lisa, war, and broken down civilizations, which connects directly into our society and current events, such as the ongoing issues with Syria and North Korea, for example, they are breaking down their civilizations, likewise with The Smile. The intro is confusing. What point does the story make about art? How does that connect to the Syria and North Korea situations?…

    I have watched this video and can say that I've heard a lot about the benefits of a smile. For example: if you smile you look lovelier, a smile can light up someone's day, or pick someone mood, but I never thought that the benefits of a smile so much, it is not only external but also internal use! Smiling meditation will be a very interesting experience for me, not only interesting and also useful for my inner peace and well-being! In my opinion, if something in our lives (like our smile or smiling meditation) can change us for the better side, or we can change someone for the better, we should certainly try it. Well, now I transgress the first in my life inner smiling meditation ... Let see what happens...…
