 The makers of The Meatrix used The Matrix to show the similarities between the food corp and society. The damage both are doing to the planet and people. The Meatrix is showing us the truth of how and where our foods are coming from. Showing us how animals suffer and the horrible conditions they are put into. Causing infections and all types of diseases to the animals , the society and the planet. The Matrix is the same showing us the reality of our world and the damages we are all causing to ourselfs and the planet.

 Looking back to when i started this class. Concentrating to write a essay or plan one out was really frustrating. I would get distracted with anything maybe cause of my weak planning technique I had for essays. I believe I have improve but still need much more improvement. With the practice Cat that we have taken in class it has help time me and think much faster to write. Maybe i feel more comfartable now doing essays. Before I used to get stock on the first sentence my brain would stop and nothing, zero ideas of how and of what I should write the essay would dissapear. But know thanks to the classes and stuff I have learned like how to plan and essay step by step it has help me alot. I Know have to practice more on my grammar  and of using better words to describe what  I want ot say so that the reader would understand better. Also my thesis has to improve more. I want to go straight and clear on my claim. But everything step by step no need to rush. I have taken the first step on planning now I going to work harder on writing an good essay. Understandable for the readers. This blogs has also been a good help on my development. Also using the blogger online has been a creat experience. Well maybe cause it has been the first time i use a blog.  Reading other classmates essays has help me more on what to write. I would trully see my improvement when I take the CAT. Until that time comes I would practice more for a better grade.

   Reality TV has become a great hit around the world. There are many reality shows now a days. Timothy Sexton the writer of the passage " The Danger of Reality TV"  describes the types of problems these shows may cause on the society. Especially the most fragile ones which are the young people of the society.
    Society loves to get entertained. When we see a show that we like we get attached to it. Becomes part of us. Reality TV shows are very atractive to society. It grabs our full attention and without even noticing we are watching the show everyweek. Of course people have different taste of things. Not all society watch the same TV shows. Producers and creators of theses shows know this. That is why there are many types of reality shows.
      " American idol" and " Fear Factor" are two different reality TV shows. The TV  show " American idol"   is for people who believe they got talent and want to show there talent live and to audience across the nation and even world wide and win the prize which could be money and even even become famouse an a millionaire. But the audience is the one who pick this new talent. In some cases not even the most talented one wins just because the people love him they pick him as there winner. The peolple buy what they like and its all fair. In the other Reality TV show " Fear Factor" is about dangerous stuff people are willing to do for a bucket of money. Who wouldnt eat bugs for  10,000 or even more money. Even the less bright person in the world would become famouse and rich.
         This is the problem Timothy Sexton want to explain to us. Thanks to these shows society sees a free way a short cut to fame and to money. The young ones see these and want what they see on Tv. An easy way to succes. This is a great danger in the long term cause society would drop eduacation and would buy the dreams these show are advertising to them. That even the less bright one can become famouse and rich.

  How should a perfect world look like? Would everyone be happy to live in a world so perfect? This such world Christoff the creator of the Truman show created for truman to live in. A society far different from the real world. A perfect happy world for Truman. A world so clean, crime free, where nothing bad or dangerous  happens. A place were daily problems that society ecounter in the real world never happens in Christoff world.

    We are all raised in a hard, violent, tuff world. Where MONEY and POWER are the main priority in our society. Having the money and power people live there perfect world. Buying anything they want or doing anything they desire.Spoilling everyone that lives in this type of society. Not all live this world of glamer or power. Others suffer and encounter many problems such as crime, corruption and other stressfull troubles that make us wish we live in another world away from such things. A place were one is happy of what they do and enjoy it.

    Such world makes me want to go and live on it. But in the other hand I would not have the ability or strenght to encounter the problems one live in the real world. The knowledge of solving problems and how to avoid other troubles. Christoff world for Truman is avoiding all of  this for Truman all good. But is making him lack on how to encounter such problems. Think of a way to solve things and be more consisted on getting what he wants. Like finding his true love and investigating why she was taking away from her.

   Not all can be kept away or hidden. We are capable of learning and asking questions. We are curious its in our nature. This Christoff would not be able to eliminate from any world. Truman shows this to him when he finds the way out of his perfect world. The love for someone is a great determination in doing things. Our society is spoil and its unfair. With his creation of Trumans world he is giving the public the possibility to see and live how a perfect world would look like thru the Truman Show.

 English class has never been my strong point in school. I have always had a lack of interest in all my English classes. Frighten to misspell a word or do a work wrong. May have been the reasons for not having the interest of participating more. But for a strange reason in Dr. C. Jason Smith class has awaken an interest in learning and participating more. I know i have miss two or three days of class. But not for laziness but cause of personal emergencies. Dr. C. Jason Smith is an awesome teacher who makes one grab interest in anything he ask us to do. I have learned new ways to do a better summary, essay, and drafts. With this ill definitely have a better score on the CAT-writing exam. I have more challenges i want to overcome. I believe in this class i will overcome this challenges and become a better writer. Write more clearly and right to the point. With determination i know i will do so. Theres is much more to learn in this class and hope to get all the knowledge i can out of this class. Thanks Dr. C. Jason Smith.

Blog 5: Summary "Allegory of the Cave"

 The "Allegory of the cave" is a dialogue between Socrates and Glaucon. Socrates is describes to Glaucona to imagine a cave. Inside the cave prisoners are chained from there legs, arms and neck since there childhood. The cave is also used as a walkway. The walkway is located behind them. Theres also a enormous fire between the prisoners and the walkway. The fire makes shadows cast by the peolple that cross the walkway. Theses shadows are reflected to the big wall infront of the prisoners. The prisoners see different forms of shadows. This is because people cross with different objects. The prisoners also hear echoes from the wall made by the walkway. The prisoners have view shadows and heard  echoes for years since there childhood. There knowledge is based on all of what they have seen and heard. They dont know more than what they have seen and heard. If a prisoner is released and is brought out  the cave. The prisoner would be confused and disturb of what he sees. As time goes by he would understand things and see everything more clearly. He would have gain more knowledge of he knew before coming out the cave. He would go back to his fellow prisoners and would try to speak and tell them of what he has learned. But they would not undestand what he is speaking. He is just another shadow and echo.
