synthesis!!

For my synthesis paper, I have decided to use the text The Allegory of the Cave and the movie The Village. In these two stories, they both have a similar idea but they are also different. In the Allegory of the Cave, it is about prisoners that are held up in a cave and don’t know anything about the outside world. They just thought that that cave was just like outside world and they would see shadows on the wall that would explain what was beyond the cave. In the movie The Village, it was about a colony of people who lived in their own secluded village away from the real world. But the twist was that only a few people in the village knew what the outside world was about and how advanced it was in technology. The others of the village just thought that’s how the world was and didn’t know any better. So those few people that knew about the real world keep the others from exploring outside the village by saying there were monsters in the woods and they wouldn’t be able to get around it. So theses two stories have a lot in common but all the same time they are also different. They both are about people who are secluded from the world and know what else is out there. So the theme of my paper would be that some people are so secluded from the world that they need to break out and what is out there and they need to see it for themselves.

Joy synthesis

"Joy, to me, is doing something that makes me happy. It's something that that makes me smile and laugh constantly. It would also make me feel calm and relaxed."-Kristin

"Joy to me is being happy and content with who you are and how you are living. I think joy comes from the company of family and friends to share good memeories and laughter. When you share joy, you are sharing happieness among people."-Myself

Kristin+Myself= Joy is a happy and clam feeling, when you have joy you are filled with happieness and laughter! Joy may also come from within or from your family and friends to put a smile on your face.

Joy to me is being happy and content with who you are and how you are living. I think joy comes from the company of family and friends to share good memeories and laughter. When you share joy, you are sharing happieness among people.

In the esssay the allagory of the cave by plato, it was about people who were prisonars of a cave where they spent there whole life there and only knew the world through shadows that were shown on the cave walls. I think this essay relates to the movie, The Village by M. Night Shyamalan in 2004. This movie was about a group of people who were amish and lived in a seclueded whole there no evil could hurt them. Only a small group of people of the village new that it was present day but the rest of the group didnt know that the rest of the world was not like there world. So i believe this applies to society because both of these examples, the allagory of the cave and the village, both relate to having people seclueded from the real world to protect them to what now days society is really like. Just like in the essay The allagory of the cave, the prisonars were shown shadows of people, animals, and random objects ect. by the people that held them in there. I think they did this because they wanted to protect them from going out in the real world so they held them there only let them see what they wanted to see. This is almost the same situation in The village. The small group that new what the real world was like so they made there own world because they thought that thy were protecting them. So the people who actuelly grew up in the town didnt know any better and thought that was the way the world was. So these two stories are very similar and they both relate to society in some way.

blog on gender

In this image it shows how gender roles play a huge part in our society. In our society, there are certain roled among men and women. It is said that men are stronger, powerful, and incharge of providing for his family. whereas for women they are said to be house wives who cook, clean, take care of children and run the house hold. Today the roles of gender are changing but in sense they are still there for some people and will always be apart of our part. In this image it shows a women in a kitchen over a stove cooking. She is probably providing a meal for her husband and children as in society that is what women are suppose to be doing. This image i believe is a great example of gender roles and it shows that in our society women and men are expected to do certain things because that is just way it has always been. You dont see a man in this image slaving over the slove, well that is because to our society that is what women are suppose to do. If we were to see a man do that, it would be out of the norm and people would wonder. If you saw a man in this image it would simply be him maybe talking to his wife or sitting at the table. In our society men and women have such different roles, it makes it complicated if they were to do anything out of the norm of there gender role. but now days in our society gender roles are chnaging, and for the better. They are making some things now acceptable of both men and women which i believe in a better solution and is a great freshment for our society.
