While believing the lies because she loves him, she suffers unimaginable pain by the man who promised never to hurt her. Every woman can relate to being in love or their first love and how they believe everything he says until he hurts them and it blows up right in their face, and also men who have had a woman hurt them can also relate. How do you pull away and if you can how do you go on? We need to be reminded that we are not alone in our misery through breakups. We are not the only one who has been lied to, and although it may change who we were meant to be we will eventually find ourselves.

Signs of Life in the USA teaches students to read and write critically about popular culture by giving them a conceptual framework to do it: semiotics, a field of critical theory developed specifically for the interpretation of culture and its signs. Written by a prominent semiotician and an experienced writing instructor, the text’s high-interest themes feature provocative and current reading selections that ask students to think analytically about America’s impressive popular culture: How is TV’s Mad Men a lightning rod for America’s polarized political climate? Has the nature of personal identity changed in an era when we spend so much of our lives online? Signs of Life bridges the transition to college writing by providing students with academic language to talk about our common, everyday cultural experience. Read the preface.
