Blog 10

Well OK,I honestly have no idea what exactly is this Blog Blog 10 about.But I think it has something to do with the movie film Platoon starring Charlie Sheen so I guess that is what I am going to write about.The film Platoon is focused on the 1970's Vietnam war which by the way we did not win I hope one day we can have a rematch.The movie was very difficult to understand but in the end of the film they all start shooting on each other,and then Charlie Sheen trys to explain why they lost the war saying that they fought each other instead of the enemies.Many people today still don't believe that theory but that film was directed by Oliver Stone and he was there in the War so I belivev him.I guess we can all learn a lesson from that film which is when you go to war make sure you fight the enemie instead of each other.

The following week on.......well I can't remember which day I think it was friday it was probably on may 12,I was suppose to go to some type of film festival trip with my class for film but I over slept and ended up missing it.I was very dissapointed becuase I was really looking forward on going to that trip.But then I remember that I was suppose to go to the museum of?????well I can not remember the name of the museum.But I think it was called the museum of natural arts.......And I honestly have to say it was really really a very boring.I really don't remember much I remember is looking at some old Video and a couple of sets of DVD players.I thnik the resason I was bored was because I was alone.So I have learned my lesson.

That paper was very long.Let this be a listen to all you people out there do not get stressed out for a project.

A couple of days ago me and my class went on a trip to the New York Public library.This trip was actually very weird at the same time it was very very interesting.The reason I found this trip weird is because we actaully did not see any books in the New York public library.All we saw was old materials closed in a display case.But over all I think the trip was Okay or another word for it would be OK.The reason why we did not see any books at all is because we actaully had to order it in then give them the number end then when they find the book then they will send it to us by calling our number.I actually regret leaving immediatley after the trip ended and the teacher released us becuase I really wanted to see the books they had.Will I have learned my listen next time I go to the place (if I ever go back) I will began to explore the place.

Blog 5 lets go Green

Hey guys the World(Earth)has been around for more than one billions years and many people(myself)included wants to keep the earth around for another one billion years so lets begain.Well its funny becuase I acually have no idea how to start saving the earth.First I thought Al Gores documentoryabout Global Warming destroying the earth tought me alot but after that over the yeras alot of dozens and dozens of scientists stated that they completely do not agree with Al Gores theorys,so I am stuck now.I guess one way of saving the world would be like my teacher doctor Smith said and start using lease and lease paper,thats why we do not use any paper at all in our classInstead we then use computers.But on second thought I'm not sure if that is a good thing because we then must use technology more and more and I am not really ready for all that.You know I know this might sound sillybut I think a perfect way to find out how we can all save the planet is if we all start watching reruns of the old cartoon ''Captain Planet and the Planeteers''.In fact there actaully give it every morning at six 'o' clock on channel 109.I am not really sure if humans are really capable of saving the Earth because I do not think most people in the world really cares about the future or the fate of the world.

Blog 4 Trip to Museum

A couple of days ago I took a trip to the Americnan Museum of Natural History.This was actually my third time being there(and hpoefully my last time being there).Out of all the three times I was there this time was actaully the most interesting one of them all because the first time I went there I was in the fifth grade.It was alot easier for me because I took the school bus with my class and we all had to stick together with the class.And we had the instructor there who showed us everthing we had to look at.The second time I was there I was actually on my own I had to be there because the teacher send me to do an assignment to earn one credit for science for I can graduate.At that time most of the thing were under renovation so it was not easy to explore.But the third time I want it was pretty much the same because the teacher split us up.The American museum of natural history had alot of interesting things,but the thing I aways liked the most was the evolution of human you know from apes to humans..........I'm just kidding I really do like the American Museum of Natural History and I hope its actually not the very last time I ever go there.

Blog 3 ''Gnosticism''

Honestly I think Gnosticism is one of the most confusing religions I have ever heard of.Gnosticism is a certain type of religious believe that is involved with teaching us about humans that are seperate souls stuck in a world that is being controlled by an Abrahamic God.I think Gnosticism is a religion heavily involved around knowledge.The more knowlege you know the more religious you become to Gnostism.Gnosticism started to get known around the late years of the 19th century and became a very popular religion in North America and Europe around the 20th century.I think it has some comparison to the Matrix and Allegory of the cave because in all three storys you are in your own world and you must do alot if thinking.I also think its has some comparison to the Matrix and Allegory of the Cave because all three storys are involved with having alot of knowledge.

‘’Allegory of the Cave’’
I have just reading an article telling a story called ‘’Allegory of the cave’’. It was a very confusing article. According to Websters dictionary the word Allegory means ‘’The expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence’’. But to me an Allegory can be something of a story that can be something totally different. A good example for this can be the science fiction film called the Matrix starring Keanu Reeves. When Neo is trap in the Matrix and he is not sure what he must do to get out. In the article Allegory of the Cave is about Prisoners being chained up in a cave since childhood and they have no clue on how to get out. Then they set up movements and steps on how to get out.

Weeks ago my class saw the Matrix, but I wasn’t there because my class was dropped. So I ended up watching the movie last Friday in the library. It was a very interesting movie, and I like to watch science fiction movies. The thing I don’t like about science fiction movies is that there sometime difficult to understand. I’m not going to pretend I actually understoud the Matrix because it was so confusing. It wasn’t good watching the movie in a chair in the library for 2 hours and thirty minutes .The movie is about a computer hacker who went by alias “Neo’’ in a secret life played by Keanu Reeves. In his regular life Neo is known as Thomas A. Anderson in his profession he is also involved in computers. In the movie they ask Neo what pill does he want the blue pill or the red pill. If Neo chooses the blue pill then he will go back to his time and everything will be the same but he decides to eat the red pill and stay with his friends. The movie takes place around the year 2199. In the process of his training Neo learns martial arts (really cool).During the movies Neo’s mentor Morpheous gets abducted so Neo goes on and saves him. The movie ends with Neo flying in the sky.
