Summary/Response & image analysis

Typing the content was not hard for me to begin. It was actually quite easy. It was easy because the blogging helped me gain an idea of what i wanted to write about in my papers. Personally, I think the summary response paper was the hardest. The image analysis paper was much easier because we had to mediums to compare. Also, it was much easier to look at the film and the novel to find similarities and differences. Once these were found, it was easy to put my ideas down on paper and determine where I wanted to go with the information at hand. The hardest part for me was, finding what differences between the film and novel I wanted to compare. Once I found the differences I wanted to use, it was very easy to come up with the required paper length. My main strength for writing is my ability to get my point across. I am able to explain what I want the reader to know about the subject I am writing about. One major weakness I have is, using filler words like, that, and which. I use these words more often than I should. When I edit my paper, I try to eliminate as many of these as possible. I think peer review is more helpful with understanding ideas than actually editing the paper. It is very helpful with helping me understand how I can better express my ideas through writing. I have notice a small change in my writing. Now, I tend to use larger words that make me seem like a college level writer.  In the next paper, I am going to incorporate all I have learned about thesis statements and introductions that have not really used in my past papers.

Obectified

      Objectified was a very interesting documentary. I have never though about not designing new objects, but redesigning older objects to make them better. I found this to be the most interesting point that the documentary made. Another interesting point the documentary made, was finding ways to make new technologies more easily disposed. They had a valid point when they said that new technology becomes old technology very quickly. New phones and computers are always being developed. So why not make them biodegradable? Lastly, the most relevant part of the documentary talked about the market price of "designed" products. The documentary discussed the pointlessness of creating a new and innovative product that could not be purchased by the average consumer. Make the new products purchasable for all people.

A Boy and His Dog

A Boy and His Dog is about a bizarre quest for sex. Vic is a man seeking sex with the help of his telepathic woman seeking dog, Blood. Blood and Vic are able to communicate telepathically. Vic is basically a rapist who uses Blood's abilities to find women he can rape. Blood catches sent of Quilla, who has sex with Vic and tricks him into coming "down under". Vic is then used as a sperm donor to help them colonize. They hook Vic up to a machine a extract his sperm. Quilla then helps Vic escapes and tries to get him to Kill everyone on the Committee. He refuses to do so, Quilla comes back up to the surface with Vic who finds Blood lying outside the door too week to walk. The ending has the biggest twist. Vic and Blood roast Quilla over a fire and eat her for nutrition then walk off into the sunset. 
      First off, that was by far one of the worst movies I have ever seen. However, I had to stay until the end to see how it ended. I do not know if I should be glad i stayed or not. All I have to say is this, " who in the hell goes from serial rapist to cannibal?"

Blade Runner: Good Scene, Bad Scene

I thought the scene where Roy was trying to kill Deckard was pretty good. The suspense of the scene really kept the viewer on the edge of their seat. Personally, I was hoping that Rick would get away without a scratch. The chase sequence was rather dramatic. The director had everything from broken fingers to free climbing the side of an apartment building. Ricks broken fingers added to the suspense of the scene. As viewers, we were not sure if he would be able to climb the building with his hand in the condition it was in.  The climax of the chase scene was came when Rick leaped across to another building and just caught the ledge. As he hung there, Roy easily jumped across and looked down upon Rick as he dangled from the building. I certainly thought that Roy was going to step on Rick's fingers causing Rick to fall to his death. However, the opposite happened. Roy actually grabbed Ricks arm and pulled him up to safety. This part of the scene really confused me. Why would the Replicant that was trying to kill Rick the entire scene save him? After pondering about this, I realized that maybe the Replicant felt remorse for his actions. Roy knew that his systems were shutting down and he help Rick up right before this happened. The unanswered question still remains; Do Replicants feel emotions?
