   I think the reason why they use "The Matrix" to make "The Meatrix" film is because they want to tell people that the things that they see in the world are not always the truth. In addition, they also want to make people to watch the film. I think that almost everybody watched "The Matrix" therefore, using this movie to show the film is the better way to make people interested in it.

       In the movie, "The Matrix," Neo lived in a world that is not the real world. Everything in there was made by the matrix and is not real. When he realized that the world he lived is a artificial world, he could not accept the truth at first. However, after knowing something about the real, he wants to know more about it. Therefore, when he makes a choice between blue pill and red pill, he takes the red pill which goes to the real world. In my life, if I have to make a choice between blue pill and red pill, I would choose the red pill and go to the real world. No one wants to live in a world without knowing any truth. In addition, people are usually curious, they always want to find out the truth.

       I am sure that people do not want and do not like to live in a fake world. Living in a world that is not true does not have any meaning and cannot achieve our goals. Even though the truth may hurt ourselves, I would still want to know about the reality and go to the real world. In the movie, Neo gets hurt by the truth. He cannot image that the world that he had been lived most of his life is a artificial world and everything is fake. He does not accept the real world. However, he faces the reality later on and saves himself. If I am in Neo's situation I think I would do the same thing that he does.

       People are curious and always want to know about the truth. When people are not sure about something they will try really hard to find out the answer. This is our human being. In the beginning of the movie, Neo wants to know who is controlling his computer, so he follow the rabbit and find out the answer. When he knows about the matrix, he is eager to find out what is the matrix. Over more, he wants to know the truth about the artificial world that he perceives. In our lives, children are one of the examples. Children always want to find out the answer. Although their parents tell them not to do this, they still want to do it and find out what will happen next. I am also a human, therefore, if I am Neo I would be really curious about the matrix and the truth.

        In conclusion, to live in a fake world does not have any meaning. People do not have to live in a fake world, they can find out the truth by themselves, like Neo. In addition, it is good for people to be curious. They can find out the truth or the answer that they want.

Blog Entry 12: Reflection and Evaluation

          I think my summary is getting better and I can think more example to support my claim. However, I still need more development at the paragraph level with examples. The challenges that I was facing in this class is that when I wrote an essay in class I could not think about what can I write. I could not develop the idea. In the other word I am really not a good critical thinker. Sometimes I can only think about one thing to write but I know it is not enough to write a good essay I really need to have more idea and think more criticaly. In addition, sometimes I got confuse about where should I put the summary, in the first paragraph or the second paragraph. Moreover, I think I really need to learn more vocabulary to higher my essay's level. I always use the low level word. As a result, my essay looks like a low level essay. When I was writing an essay I always knew that my vocabulary is bad, this word is not in my level however, I could not think the other word, this is my problem so I really need to solve it. Sometimes I have grammar mistakes that I already learnd and remenbered all the time, but I did not realize at that time and I did not have time to reread it. As a reault, I really need to be carefore about this problem. I hope I can get better and pass this class.

       In the passage," The dangers of reality TV ", talks about the dangerous massage from reality television. Reality television becomes more and more popular in our life. It gives people massages. The problem is that some of them give positive massage, but some of them do not. They even give dangerous massages. In the article, the author states that '' education is unnecessary to fulfill the American dream.'' However, education is important to our lives. This dangerous massage can mold the minds of the young fans and influence their lives.       
  
        Many people like to watch television and even watch it everyday. When they watch it, they can get many different massages and information from it. People who watch television are in many different ages, some of them are really young and still children. Children do not really know what is good or bad or what is true. They may think that anything that shows on the television is true and right. For example. in this article, it mentions that education is unnecessary to fulfill the American dream. For the young audience they will think that this massage is true and can influence their lives.

       In my experience, when I was young, there was a show that is about couples. They have different couples everyday. The same thing is that when they have different opinions they always fight. My brother and I were really liked this show, we watched everyday. However, we were too young to think about what is true and right at that tine. We thought that the show is real and what they did is the right thing. As a result, we always fight when we have different point of views. This dangerous massage affected me and influenced my life.

         In conclusion, reality television is dangerous. It gives some massages that influence our lives and these massages are misleading our brain. I hope that people can control their mind instead of follow the reality television.

Claim : If I need to make a choice between red pill and blue pill I would choose the red pill.

Reason : I don't want to live in a world that everything is not true. I would want to know about the truth,even  though the truth may hurt me I would still want to know that.

Evidence : In the movie, Neo chose the red pill. When he first heard about the truth he didn't want to believe that, but later, when he try to face the truth he wants to know more about it.

Before discussion I was not clear about some idea., but after that I understand now. In the dicussion, the question " to take the blue pill or the red pill? " there are many different points of view someone wants to face the truth someone is afraid of facing the truth and they would rather live in a fake world than knowing the truth. This is fun, I really enjoy the movie and the dicussion after.

Blog Entry 8 : Responding to a significant topic in The Truman Show(Topic 1)

        In "The Truman Show", Truman lives in a perfect world. People always show their pleasure. When Truman walks on the street people know him and are very kind for him. He has a good and beautiful wife. When he has problem his best friend always helps him. Everything in Truman's life seems perfect and has no problem. However, all these perfect things are not real. Truman is not living in a real world and does not realize that.
           
       I think that I would not want to live in Truman's world. Everything in there is not real. Everyone except Truman know the reality and they know what are they doing in this world. Truman does not know anything, he lives in there most of his life and never got out. People in there are all actor and actress, include his wife and his best friend. His wife does not actually loves him and his friend is just an actor. I think it is a really terrible feeling. When I thinks someone loves me or someone is my best friend I will really trust them and tell them everything I want them to know. I cannot image that they are just acting with me and I cannot accept that.
     
       I believe that the world that Cristoff  has created tells that in our real society there are too many problem and is dangerous. People are always facing on challenge and sometimes they may be in danger. Cristoff want a perfect and peaceful world. He does not want Truman stay in the real world that is dangerous. I think if Cristoff leaves in Truman's world everything will change. Truman will know the reality and he will not lives without knowing that he is not in the real world and everyone in the real world are watching his whole life. In addition he can have a new life in the real world.

       In conclusion, I think that to live in a fake world is really terrible. Everything is not real and people are not actually showing their heart. I would never want to live in the life that Truman lives.
