what's next for Venice

It seems like the idea of global warming is getting more and scarier as the days go on. The news about Antarctica should really be a wake up call. Perhaps it may be the next Venice. According to in convenient truth, it seems like the whole entire continent is under self destruction. The major problems are that the green house gases are trapping the sun rays. This means that, this is why our earth is warming up as we know it. There is too much Co2 in the air. In reaction to this situation the Co2 helps to prevent earth’s heat from going back into the atmosphere. And because the earth is getting warmer, due to trapped sun rays, Antarctica is melting as we speak.

It sounds crazy just saying it. I think that Venice will be covered in water, due to the continuing amount of rising sea levels. As places such as Antarctica is melting, this means that there is more water in the ocean. But besides a missing continent, what else will happen at this rate. According to An Inconvenient Truth, this is a very bad situation for our animals, such as polar bears, penguins, and any other animals living on this big chunk of ice. This terrible situation means that there will be a real shortage of these particular species. Reason being, is because as the ice melts, the pieces of land melts away into the ocean. Often times these animals must swim many miles, in search of shelter. The sad part is that they drown, because the distance is too far. I couldn't imagine the feeling, The feeling of fighting for my own life. This is just one of many tragic stories, of how global warming is not only, taking away our world, but our animals as well. So in my opinion, Venice doesn't strand a chance at this rate. Something must be done, immediately.

Compare or Martix & Gnosticism

While reading the summary of Gnostism, I wasn’t hard to come to the assumption that, this is one of many interesting religions. I learned that this religion is practice most frequently, in the Middle East region, Perhaps, threes a connection with the Muslim belief. However, to my understanding of the Gnosticism, is simply a belief system, in which the people live by the moral idea that "people" are divine souls trapped in a materialistic world. And the only way to escape this way of life is to seek knowledge. Not just any knowledge, but Gnosis. This is considered to be knowledge of god. According to the text, this sense of intelligence can only be obtained by, the direct experience with god. In connection to the term Allegory, I feel that these two terms share similarities, in the sense that they are both forms of expression. As mentioned, in my earlier blog, Allegory is an artistic way of expressing and idea, where as Gnostism, can also be considered, a form of expression, where people expresses themselves through morals and beliefs. I also, consider the matrix to be an aspect, worth making a connection to. I think that the matrix film certainly connects to the religious term Gnostism. The reason being is because I feel that both parties can agree that humans are trapped in to a materialistic world. I think that the matrix can agree on this idea because, the only way to escape the matrix, is to learn the truth.

Anthony Chapman- What is Allegory

At First the definition sounded very complicated, i eventually, found the logic of the word. From my understanding The Term Allegory, can be described as a form of expression. Perhaps it's a artistic way of expressing an idea. As mentioned, in Wickapedia, it's often view as larger form of a metaphore. This term seems to have a connection, with the the martix film. One connection that i made between the two is that, both share the values of imagination. Allegory, has values of imagination, in the sense that it expresses art, and the matrix, is an obviously a sense of imagination, giving the idea of exploring the inside of an computer.

Anthony Matrix

I personally thought that the matrix was an exceptionally good movie. This movie gave me such a break from reality. I enjoyed stretching my imagination, to say the least. What better character, then Lawrence Fishburn, for this sort of film. His demeanor was so serious, it really engages the audience. Honestly, I still think that this movie is very complexes. Though it's interesting, in requires you pay close attention, other wise; it can very difficult to understand. I watched this movie several times, before I grasped an efficient understanding of the story.

There were so many scene that really more you to think a lot. One scene, that stuck we was when, Fishburn mentioned the idea, that your mind, manipulates, reality. This idea was stuck in my mind the whole entire movie. I just found it confusing, that, if you put in enough mental energy faith, you could bind a spoon. Or your ability to jump a roof top depends on your confidence. The thought alone makes my hand sweat. I think that the person who thought of this movie, in science addict. And a large imagination is required. As mentioned previously, this movie certainly exercises you imagination. After watching such a science fiction movie, many thought crossed my mind. It made me wonder just how big the universe really is. is there another dimension out there that has not yet been discovered. Or maybe there is some different kind of species. Just what does this mean for our future? After all, there was a point in time where, computers were of to people. Maybe this means that we have a lot to learn, and just maybe, our future has more in store for us, then we expect.

Overall though, I must say that, if a movie makes you wonder this way, then it must mean that it's a good movie. Though, if I could change something about this film, i would probably find some sort of way to make it more easier to understand. I had to watch this film at least three times to get a fair understanding of the film. And the other matrix films are even more minded boggling. There were actually times where i was impatient, because, I was tying to understand what was going on. But once i understood what was going, it was a great film. In lou of my lacking abilty to undrstand, i give this movie two thumbs up, and i highly recommend it to science lovers.
