Blog Entry 14
The reason the makers of the Meatrix used the Matrix as it's means for their arguments is because like all the humans trapped in their minds,people don't know the truth behind where their dairy products come from.Also in the Maetrix,the animals that are trapped in the Meatrix or farming industtry,humans are trapped in the Matrix.Humans are oblivious in both the Matrix and the Meatrix about reality.

Blog Entry 13
The Matrix is about computers controlling the lives of humans on Earth and use them as an energy resource to operate the Matrix.Humans assume that they're living ordinary lives,but are actually trapped inside their minds.Neo,an ordinary human that's bored of his everyday life meets the mysterious Morpheus and gives gives him a choice of taking the blue pill,which puts him back to his ordinary life,or the red pill,which shows him the truth about the Matrix.Neo takes the red pill and joins Morpheus and his entourage that also know the truth. Neo,as well as Morpheus and his entourage fight the computers of the Matrix that have a human form called "Mr.Smith and the Matrix in order to save humanity.I say taking the red pill is a better choice because of two reasons,to know the truth and to not be held prisoner.
I say red pill because it's better to know the truth than to know lies.People asks questions or seek the truth themselves because it's human nature to want to know whats real or not real.Truman wanted to know if his everyday life was real or controlled in the Truman Show due to certain events in the movie that made him unsure about the reality of his everyday life.
Red pill is my choice because I don't want to be held prisoner in my mind or held prisoner in general. A prisoner is someone with no freedom just like the humans trapped in their minds and are considered prisoners. Jews were deprived of their lives and freedom and had to work to death in order to create the pyramids of Egypt the Pharaoh of Egypt's orders can be considered prisoners.Truman was a prisoner prisoner in a show starring himself his entire life being unable to even leave Seahaven or The Truman Show itself due to subtle interferences.
As I said before,I would take the red pill without hesitation.It's better to be a free man that knows the truth than an ignorant prisoner in life.I wouldn't be in the Truman,or Jews during the age of Mozis.Besides,in the movie the Matrix,Neo becomes a hero that stops the Matrix so it's pretty much a no brainer to choose the red pill in this situation than the blue pill.

Blog Entry 12:Reflection and Evaluation
Overall in my two blog series,I think I did better in blog series 2 than in blog series 1.There are two reasons as to why I have this claim,and they're summaries and the movies I saw for my writing assignments.I write better summaries than essays and what I saw mostly in blog series 2.In blog series 1 however,I was just beginning to understand the order of claim,reason,and evidence so most of my essays in blog series 1 has some reasons that weren't clear or made sense to support my claims.
In blog series 1,I basically had a hard time posting my blogs on time due to my lack of focus and concentration in finishing my essays.I'm not really good at writing essays so some of the essays in series 1 are "rough around the edges".I had some problems specifically in blogs 5 and 6 because I had a hard time summarizing the article "The Allegory of the cave" and describing my life to the article until I saw the video about the "Allegory of the cave".Despite some problems in series 1,I do clearly explain my claims in the essays that ask for claim.
In blog series 2,watching the movies,"The Truman Show and The Matrix" improved my reasons and evidence in order to write my essays.I can understand any movie I watch for the first time so it was esay to complete my writing assignments.Writing comments about the two movies felt more natural because I writing my opinions on someone claims about the movies.
Again,as I said overall,I prefer blog series 2 than blog series 1 because it was easier to me.I think I did an ok job on both series regardless of some difficulties.I honestly hope that blog series 3 has less blogs to write than series 1 and 2.

Blog Entry 11:CAT-W Practice 3 Revision
Timothy Sexton's article "The Dangers of Reality TV" talks about the negative ideas of reality TV.Making reality TV be competitive,entertaining,and have no education is the best way to describe what reality TV is as a whole.According to the article,the reason that education isn't something reality TV use is because "education was completely unnecessary to fulfill the American dream.
I agree with the ideas that Sexton says in the article,in fact,I believe reality TV is the saddest excuse for entertainment I've ever seen and I wish reality TV shows were canceled.The fact that people in reality TV shows compete for money, or to go out with a person is why I hate reality TV with all my heart.There are 2 factors that always get people to participate and compete in reality TV shows,and they're money and fame.Participants want money that comes from the shows prizes and want fame just for the fact that they're on TV and want to get some recognition for personal gain.
One example for gaining money in reality TV is Fear Factor because Fear Factor gives away cash prizes in a competition for doing certain stunts that range from eating bugs/appendages to standing on top of trucks, convayerbelts,and boats.An example for gaining a boyfriend/girlfriend would be girls competing in Flavor of Love,or guys competing in I Love NewYork reality TV shows.The personal gains in Fear Factor is money,while in Flavor of love and I Love NewYork would be the boyfriend/girlfriend and fame that comes with participating in the shows.The fact that all these shows are categorized as entertainment in every cable company in America shows how little education has an influence.
The fact that your doing dangerous and stupid stunts in reality TV shows that my claim and Sexton's claim are completely true.People should focus on education to get their brains more active than on reality TV thats making the population stupider.I honestly hope that reality TV will no longer exist in the future.

Blog Entry 9:Telecommute Report-Out
I'm not used to the telecommute because it's honestly my first time doing something like
that.The fact that it's the first time I'm actually posting blogs in general is kind of obvious that
I don't like the activity.It's not that I hate it,it's just I need to gain more experience on writing
my blogs.The activity itself in general is really clever to use as class work.

Claim: I don't think Neo is a hero
Reason: I don't think Neo is a hero because most people
would be in the same situation.
Evidence:There were others who contributed to saving the world like
Morpheus and Trinity,besides Neo just happened to be in the right place
at the right time when he took the red pill.

Blog Entry 6: "My place in the cave"
The Allegory of the cave story kind of reminds me of my life do to the fact that I stay inside my house regardless of any situation.Me playing videogames all the time in my house without going outside is a perfect example of the people in the allegory of the cave looking at shadows all the time.My position would be me only focusing on videogames in life and not really focusing on the world.
