Compassionate Science

We have progressed so much compared to past decades. From the cavemen discovering fire, to Edison discovering the lightbulb every invention has helped our world progress drastically. We have made machines that have helped us save the lives of some people. Everything that we have achieved is helping us progress and help us save lives and discover new things! If we continue to progress the way we are maybe one day we will be able to bring back extinct animals like the dinosaurs! We must continue to ask questions, wonder about things we don't know about, and try answering the questions others have to continue to progress and be successful.

My Review on the Elephant Man

I really liked this movie. I actually liked it so much I found it on Netflix and re watched it with my mom. This movie was beautiful but very sad. I found it disgusting how these people judged and treated John Merrick like he wasn't human just because he was deformed. John Merrick was a very intelligent and so kind so it made me so sad to see the way he was treated. This movie mad me cry towards the end because well it seemed as if he commited suicide. I wish I could have met this character and told me it was all fine and that there was nothing wrong with him. This reminds me of ho society is today, judgmental of everyones imperfections. No one is born perfect so why should we look down upon others for their looks. This movie was beautiful because of John Merrick and how no matter how bad he was treated he was so kind to everyone even if they were frightened by him.

My Name is John Merrick

I was thankfully rescued my Dr. Frederick. I have never felt so well in my life. I have always been looked down upon, labeled as a "freak" nothing more than that. I was always afraid to speak up, tell people how I feel. I have been treated horrible for most of my life and now I feel as if it s my chance to start over. Dr. Frederick and his wife have shown me nothing but kindness and safety which I will never be able to repay them. I feel reborn and free. I am glad I no longer need to be an attraction at the circus, I am a person now. I received a wonderful gift from Dr. Frederick and I have never in my life have received something so great. I have never been happy so happy in my whole life, my life has been fulfilled in such a little amount of time thanks to Dr. Frederick.
 

Nightmare

 

I always experience the same nightmare almost every time. I always have dreams within dreams within dreams. I think these type of nightmares are the worse because you are not sure what is reality or not. It always begins with me sleeping on my bed and everything is pitch black. I wake up sweating and in panic and I attempt to get up to get a drink of water but to my surprise I couldn't move. No matter how much I tried to move a hand a leg a finger I couldn't do it. My sister has a bed beside me so I tried to call her to help me get up, but I couldn't speak. No matter how much I tried I could get a word or a scream out of mouth. I started to panic and breath heavily and I felt  like I was going to die. I felt I was being suffocating and panicking made things worse. I felt  hours had gone by as I was being suffocating and I was finally was released and I "woke up" from this nightmare. I was able to speak and move again and I felt great relief. I got up to tell my sister but she wasn't there next to me so I check the bathroom no one and in the living room where my parents sleep no one was there. I started panicking again, but I tried to relax and went back to bed and just fall asleep and just wait for them to come back. I was alone in the dark trying to fall asleep staring at the ceiling when suddenly I see and ugly demon like face jump right at me and suffocates me and then I finally wake up from the brutal nightmare.

Laughed So Hard

 

So this one time in environmental class we built landfills in a bottle. What i didn't know was there was a bottom piece of a bottle under our other bottle filled with water. I thought this piece of bottle was taped to the landfill, but it wasn't. So when I went to get ahold of the landfill bottle I held it wrong and the water all spilled on the floor and on the tables. That wasn't the funny part. Brandon sits in front of me and was told many times by the teacher to not lean back with his chair because he was going to fall, and guess what happened? When I was going to get ahold of the landfill Brandon knew what was going to happen so he yelled "NOO" while leaning back on his chair then trying to reach forward to get ahold of the bottle before it fell, he was too late. Instead of catching the bottle before it fell he fell back brining himself, the chair, and table with him. Two incidents at once, and thanks to him falling no one noticed what mess I had done. I have never laughed so much.

The Future

I have always wondered about the future and how it would be. One can imagine flying cars, talking robots, and things like such. But perhaps the future won't be as great as in a movie. The way the world has progressed I don't see the world being any better in future years. The world has become polluted, destroyed by us. Maybe the world will become more polluted and global warming will be an even bigger issue. Or maybe the world will take another path and become better than it is now. There can more awareness of keeping the earth clean. I do hope in the future though we will have more cures to diseases that were thought to be incurable. Finding cures for cancer, or cystic fibrosis. For sure there will be being advancement to technology for cell phones, video game systems, television, everything. I wonder if the future will have a different style of fashion? I wonder about how the future will be, it could either be great or bad,  but it is all up to us to choose the right path.

Modern Times Review

Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin over all was a very interesting movie. He is very charismatic and very humorous which made the movie more enjoyable. Charlie Chaplin seems to be very positive about any bad situation no matter how bad things might be he still managed to smile and continue searching for something better. The fact the movie was in black and white and used little to no talking made it a even more unique movie. The movie also had many hidden messages mostly about staying positive about life no matter how hard it may seem. Charlie Chaplin had a nervous breakdown but was able to recuperate and continue to look for work. No matter how many times he got arrested for many accidental reasons or for reasons that weren't even his fault he was still funny and happy. In the end of the movie the gamin and himself were left without jobs and are running from the law. The gamin was very upset, but in the end Charlie Chaplin just told her to smile letting her know everything was going to be okay despite their situation and made it such a nice ending. 

Bullying

I really do wonder why people find the need to bully? Is it that necessary to make a rude comment or just plain out make someone feel bad? Some people might bully others to simply just be mean but others maybe to make themselves feel better. Putting someone else down can make a person feel better about themselves, that's just ridiculous. I believe people who just feel the urge to judge others and make them feel bad about themselves just to make them feel good requires psychological help. The bully might not be content with themselves so they try to take it out on someone else. Instead of talking to someone about their problems a bully can approach anyone and just physically or mentally hurt a person which is just completely wrong. If you feel you have to bully someone else to make yourself feel better get some help and talk to someone instead.

My Favorite Movie

One of my most favorite movies is Kiki's delivery Service directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This was one of the movies I grew up watching and really enjoyed. I am amazed by the art work and how they were able to make it seem so realistic even though it was about a witch and her talking cat flying on a broomstick. The sceneries and food are what I found absolutely astonishing. They were able to make the scenery seem so vivid and beautiful and the food look so good it makes your mouth water. Kiki the main character reminded me a bit of myself a girl who is searching to know who they are, wanting to explore new places and live through new experiences. Kiki not only goes through many struggles but in the end is able to find where she really belongs along side her cat Jiji. A movie with beautiful artwork and a great story is what makes a good movie.
