    In this movie, we are introduced to a world in which machines had imprisoned man into a virtual world called “the matrix”. There the main protagonist “Neo” founds himself living in this world in questioning whether is real or not, and manages to scape with the help of a group of survivors from the real world. Yet the real world was not what he expected, earth was devastated by a long war between man and machines, and what is left of humanity lives in an underground city were the sewers of the old world use to be. We can consider the Matrix to be the cave, and the shadows projected by the fire, it also presents two possible outcomes from finding true knowledge. In the allegory, Plato believes that if an individual manages to escape from the cave it could end up in two ways. The first way indicates that if a man manages to escape the cave, he would be overwhelmed by the light, and the actual shapes of the shadows he saw, “Don’t you think he would be puzzled, and believe what he saw before was truer than what was shown to him?”(Plato pg2) indicating that the individual who got out would have trouble believing the things from outside the cave would be real. In the movie Neo faces the same problem when he is liberated from the matrix believing that the real world was actually a dream. The second way this could end up is if the individual finds himself to overwhelm by the real world to the point that…

    Clive Staples Lewis, or C.S Lewis, was a well known novelist and Christian Apologist. However, he it was only in his later life that he argued for the existence of God. He andured many hardships in his childhood. With his mother’s passing, influence of the boarding school he attended, along with other life situations caused Lewis to reject Christianity and become an avowed atheist. But today he is best known as an apologist, probably the most successful Christian apologist of the twentieth century. Lewis forms his apologetic argument for Christianity with three stages. First, he set out to establish the existence of God on grounds that are philosophical. Then he sought to show how God has revealed himself in Christ and in the Christian religion. Finally, he defends theism and Christianity against common objections, such as the problem of evil. But, his own favorite proofs are those from morality, from reason, and from desire.…

    Wes Anderson Childhood

    Films that deal with childhood typically marginalize youth as an age of purity and disregard its harsh aspects. Though one might relate melancholy, detachment, and failure to maturity, filmmaker Wes Anderson appropriately associates them with children. However, he does so in an amiable manner that neither loses charm nor allows the adults to forget the child inside. By shrewdly using adult characters that behave like children, Anderson casts childhood's magical sense of wonder onto the viewer. Through this unique approach, the audience can genuinely perceive the phenomenon of childhood. Immature adult characters are only one of the many ways that Anderson captivates the viewer's inner-child. Essentially, Anderson's films lead audiences…

    Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, is filled with symbols and representations of the history of African-Americans. One of the most important and prevalent of these symbols is Ellison's representation of Booker T. Washington and the Tuskegee Institute. Throughout the book Ellison provides his personal views and experiences with these subjects through the college that TIM attends, the college Founder, and Dr. Bledsoe, the president of the college. Ellison uses these characters and other images and scenes related to Washington to show his disagreement with his backward ideals and to convey his theory that, "In order to deal with this problem [of emancipated blacks] the North"¦built Booker T. Washington into a national spokesman of Negroes with Tuskegee Institute as his seat of power"¦" (O'Meally 23).…

    I dream of a world of medicine, where the worst and most incurable issues can be fixed as simply as a paper cut, but I havn't always dreamed of such, it's only recently that I found my "noble purpose" in life. In many ways, my life story parallels that of Walter Anderson, growing up protected somewhat by a mother from an abusive father. Seeing the life stories of people like him make me realize what qualities in myself that I need to emphasize and work on, so, it is my belief that the one thing anyone needs to truly succeed is the power to persevere. So many people quit at things far too soon, stopping when they truly could have pushed on and achieved something great. That is one of the attributes that I believe I share with Walter Anderson,…
