The Master plot to happiness part 2

  Summer came in I just left everyone nobody said farewell to me, because I didn't look at them in the eye anymore. I didn't care anymore, I wanted everything to just change! I didn't want to live in a world full of people who are killing each other for money, food, or vandetta. This happened while we lived in a weak utopian country, where stuff like this still happens.
  Later on the summer, I stopped studying all the negative and just stopped studying in general. I didn't want to see anymore futurism and negative outlooks on human beings. Soon after that stopped, I was depressed. I didn't know how to cope with this experience so rode my bike to the beach and I would ask for a ride at night with my mom. A few days later she said," I can't just do this every nights I have other work and responsibilities to work on." I understood why she said that I had to find another way to cope with the negative that radiated in my mind.
  Later that summer I decided to sleep over at my cousins house and I decided to talk to them about  my issues. They knew what to do with my issues. So they took me to one of our closest family friends, his name is Jilian. We called him Jill,  he was 56 years old a very wise man as well, we came into his house at 8 in the evening and he was just sitting on his couch sleeping. But he didn't sound like he was breathing. My cousin was being silly so he came up to him and slapped him a lot and called out ,"Jilian you're food is ready! ." As if he were his mother. He responded with ,"five more minutes mom." But then my cousin decided to be HIS mother so he screamed out "wake up right now or I will beat yo' ass right now mister!" And slapped him hard on his cheek and he woke up stood up and immediately left to his kitchen. A couple of seconds back he comes back scolding at us while I we were laughing out loud together. Later, we had a bonfire right outside his house in his backyard. Talking about stories as a little kid it was pretty hilarious the way he made everything seem so happy and positive. Making weird gesturea, laughing, being serious.  And then he looked at me, he knew something was wrong with me. He came up to me and just told," you are a very special person! What you do today will matter, no matter how small it is. You are changing the course of history itself. You are the story of humanity. Make this responsibility be the only one that actually matters. You are going to find yourself someday and when you do. Come back to my house." At that moment I didn't really all the way understand him but I got a piece of it. We went back home, and eight after I woke up I just asked myself, "who am I?"
  Who am I? What is my purpose.. I looked up "who am I" on youtube. And found a video of Judduh Krishnamurti he taught me so much and made me realize that there is more positive then negative outlooks in life. That I should forgive it all and go on to progress from it and make everything a better place for everyone in my present and future. I realized that making that Jill really helped me out that night. I found my happiness through other human relations and another transcendent experience that also came in my system. I figured out that I need to be happy for others to make it a more descent place for everyone else who hates it. I am the border of happiness for myself and others.  I am here and I found my place in this world. And I am glad I did.

THE MASTER-PLOT TO HAPPINESS PART 1

Last year I remember always fighting the bad, I would resist against everything I lived by, complaining about what a world we live in. Studying about "futurism" and I wanted this future that I imagined to be true. I wanted everyone to be free. Free of chains of what society has created, and what I could do to save everyone from hunger and violence. Make everyone seem more empathetic and compassionate. I was going into futurism a lot and found myself looking at "The Venus Project" by Jaque Fresco. This man had a full idea on society and how it should be for the future with everything free, food, supplies, programs, carreers. It all seemed so beautiful and blissful. But then I started to look into homicide, and I found a documentary on homicide. It didn't tell me the background of why homicide happens, but it did show me live footage of what it looks like at war and in a corrupted drug endorsed society. It was cruel and anticlimactic. People killing each other mostly for a paycheck and for justice. It was sickening watching similar creatures hurting each other, but their was this one footage that stood out the most, it was a young adult being framed for bombing a car with children in it. They put a blindfold on him and a sign. Layed him on the floor and they shot him a repeated amount of times. But the thing about that is that he wanted to breath he wanted to live, get up and leave, live again. It took him two long minutes for him to stop breathing. After that moment I gave up on humanity, I felt horrible that I just watched him die. Everything around me was a mirage to me..

Meet Macbeth

Macbeth was first introduced in the story by other characters in the story talking about how glorious and what a great warrior he is. They talked about him killing a man (brutally cut him open vertically, decapitated him and put his head on a stake) and saving a the Sargeant. Other characters such as the witches also characterized him and foreshadowed his future of being a king with a kind of riddle/poem that confuses him on what they mean. Throughout the story the audience looks at Macbeth as a godless killing machine but ironically is nothing like that, he is just a soldier following orders. It's the way Shakespeare made him look before we actually got to meet him, it's like what everyone does from his time to our time they judge him without knowing, just hearing all the gossip (talking about the audience). So, Macbeth is a misunderstood character in the beginning in a tragic dramatic story

Macbeath soliloquy ( memorization due april 16 )

Macbeth: To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing

This is also a really cool analyzation of the soliloquy : http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/tomorrow-tomorrow-tomorrow

My Masterpiece Idea

   For my project I want to have Biology include with music. Still I am not so sure with the music part of my plan. The only reason why is because I really don't know what to do with the music part of the project but the song that influenced both ideas for this project was "Inspire" by Gazzo. But still I wanted to make a song with biology included, I am still a little more on the just biology side. I have liked science since I was a kid.

   I remember as a 6 year old boy watching the Discovery channel I was always so fascinated by the animals, I loved learning about animals. I remember being so excited for a dinosaur movie or show. Seeing different animals and watching scientists study animals. I would go outside and actually study insects and birds, I would watch them eat and fly and live their life. It felt great and I somehow didn't get bored of watching them just eat. When I was fifteen years old I wanted to go out and explore some parts of my city and see if there was any other type of environment. My old friend actually took me outside of the city and I found the woods of the city. It wasn't much but to be honest it was really one of the most gorgeous. There was a flood in the woods and it was really cool because we actually spotted an otter, some turtles, and ducks. It was really cool, I felt like a Biologist in the wild! 

  I was planning on making a song, but right now I am a little lost on where I really want to go with this. IF you have any suggestions please comment and help me out.

Lit. Analysis

1. Brave New World is a novel about a world where people are artificially made, and everyone is pre-destined to be part of a society that is meant for sufficiency and order. Everyone is in a certain class, everyone has a job, everyone is a subject to a government which they are embedded in like a code. Main character is Bernard who is an alpha but not like every other same and perfect alpha., he was shorter than every other alpha, he didn't enjoy all the activities that most liked to do. He was different mentally and physically. He asked a lot of questions, and was more curious than others. There were some flaws in the society, it has some secrets that lay behind the walls of the dystopian city. Something Bernard is going to find out soon enough.

2. The theme to this story was was to relate the story to our world on how everything was starting to become like The Brave New World. How The Alphas were racist to the Deltas and lower classes, and how brainwashed everyone is to even care about what really is going on outside of there world depending if its outside their country or their neighborhood.

3. The tone of the novel was serious and humorous.

"Oh, my Ford!", and in the beginning of the book there was a professor talking in about how they make artificially made babies in a very slow and boring lecture.

Brave New Essay Topic

So I finally got a essay topic that relates to our society and in the society in Bernard s' world. This essay topic can go on taking a side on one of these societies or just to compare it, whatever you think is more fun. Now what I am thinking is, "How is Bernard s' society better than ours?" You can go with it or against it (or like I said before compare them together.) Lets just say that both of our worlds are in the same dimension, same land. What place do I want to pick? How will I be able to answer this?
The way I would answer this is by honestly making this a little more interesting and make me into a brainwashed beta in the "Brave New World" society and say on how better it is than the one on the other side. How twisted and weird those other "humans" (as they call themselves as) and how great it is to be a Beta in this city with a perfect society and a wonderful leadership,  no chaos on who is taking control. Just all betas working together without "questioning" their trust in others.
That is honestly a essay I would be looking forward to.

Literature Analysis #1

The Great Gatsby

1) In the novel The Great Gatsby, this book had a lot of reflection on the American Culture, but in a story with the narrator Nick Carraway, cousin of a Daisy Buchanan, who married Tom Buchanan a former football star, and Jay Gatsby. With Nick talking to a lady in a party and gossiping about The Great Gatsby and his "secrets" that were over-exaggeratedly false. The book is about a mysterious man named Gatsby who lives in the top of his mansion, makes parties every night, but never shows up in the party. Nick meets him and meets a whole new world, he meets Gatsby and his real self behind all of the gossip and stories about him that were never true, F. Fitzgerald really showed a great reflection of the american culture/american dream. He confuses wealth with corruption, because in his time it was a time of being rich is the best thing that could ever happen.

2.)  The theme to this novel is feeding the social satisfaction (witch will never be satisfied)

3.) He thought of the new America as naive and blind, naive because everyone in the party were all partying for escape of problems that have been going on in their live. So they get drunk and start doing stuff people tell them to do. They Blind part is for people who are gossiping and talking about someone without knowing them is just blind of them to do so.

AP PREP POST 1: SIDDHARTHA

•  1971. The significance of a title such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is so easy to discover. However, in other works (for example, Measure for Measure) the full significance of the title becomes apparent to the reader only gradually. Choose two works and show how the significance of their respective titles is developed through the authors’ use of devices such as contrast, repetition, allusion, and point of view.

HACKING MY EDUCATION

I would like to focus on music and biology a lot through out this semester. I want to learn how to become a biologist or a musician or maybe even both!

I actually have a friend online who is studying to be a biologist right now, he can be a great resource in my network. This is actually a great start for a hack! Alright so far this is my hack. Will add on soon! I am getting excited.

Lit. Analysis #2

To kill a Mockingbird

1.) This book was about two kids getting used to a town full of racism and imagination. These two kids were living in the Great Depression and the way they lived was a bit harsh, still their father was a very confident man/lawyer. Her father taught her lessons about how she shouldn't talk about anybody if she hasn't been in their shoes. In the book she learns about life, and how to treat others.

2.) Racial prejudice was part of the theme of To Kill a Mockingbird and also superstition can lead to injustice.Like when Aticus had to become a lawyer for this African citizen who was framed of raping and hurting a white girl.

3.) It's really serious and curious, like when Aticus was with the family of the framed man, they welcomed him with open arms and everyone was being human, until the white man who framed him came up to Aticus and called him a "Nigger lover" that was a serious thing that the author's tone was saying that racism can be really serious. And as for curious the two kids were very curious characters of the story when it came to the "Boo Ralley" conspiracy.

Literature Analysis #1

1)  Sophie's World is a book about a 14 year old girl named Sophie Amundsen, suddenly she got a letter that started the whole story, the letter had written it it , "Who are you?". This bothered her the next day that came. As she learns that she is taking a philosophy course through the letters, she finds out something really unexpected. She is much more important that she would've ever guessed. I think the authors purpose for the book was to be curious at all times because life is full of surprises that can come unexpected, and also give us a insight of a philosophy course in college.

2) The theme is basically your first class of philosophy.

3)It was really uplifting when I was reading the letter that hit a crucial statement about how life is so wonderful and how it is just amazing is is to just figure things out.

Practice Essay. So far.

   "As I walk out of the cave with no memory of seeing the outside world. I wonder why I am not wondering about everything, I am not thinking about anything right now.. I am only walking, walking towards the light. Waiting for nothing to happen, as the light brightens, my eyes start burning! My palm over my head, I start seeing the shadow of my own hand,s strange lighting was everywhere." Now I see a whole new world..Now this is a situation that this character has never dealt with, he spent his life inside a cave, shackled and all he saw was shadows of people and animals, all they knew were the echoes of the men and woman. And if he were to be released, what would he do outside in the world. Keep in mind that he spent his whole childhood in a cave with nothing but shadows and echoes. We are now looking at the possibility of him being able to catch up with the world and how cultures work, what is society, what actually is real in this world or not, and ect. Or will his morality be affected, will his mind become as primitive as our early ancestors? I picture the man actually being afraid of the light and seeing the light as an evil thing, he would look at the trees and people as fake and would see the shadow of everything as a safe being. He would probably think that his home is in the cave where the sun didn't hurt him, where the environment didn't exactly lie to him.  
   Now why would I say this? Its because of the Philosophy of Plato about perspective everyone creates their own world through their way of experiencing life, nobody is right nor wrong. You believe in whatever you would like to believe in and it is true for no matter what anybody else says. Like the character in Plato's "Allegory". These men didn't know the outside world , they learned inside that cave and nothing else was really there to teach them, their schedule was all the same, sleep, wake, stare at the wall for the daily shadows and echoes.They might have ever thought about something like "I wonder if there is something outside that wall", but maybe there would be traits of our society and say, "Impossible! All you see here is a hard concrete wall there is nothing behind it!"  Now

Hamlet is MY Friend. (Essay)

In the play of Hamlet, Hamlet would talk to himself and create a weird dimension of  that made us consider he is staring to become a man of insanity.But one thing that I came to a conclusion is, is that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet for popularity. He wanted people to talk about it, he wanted gossip about what people thought about the play. Since the imagination of the plot was pretty broad for the ideas on whether Hamlet was crazy or not, it fit in. There was so much left out for us to try to figure out, the story was based on perspective.  Hamlet would talk about his perspective so much we were part of his inner thoughts. The thing about that is that we all don't have the same mindset,every intention you want to make for someone usually never goes all the way as planned. But since the story was planned out it all was manipulated, and the characters aren't real people everything was just deception on whether or not what hamlet did was rational or wrong, or even sane or insanity.Pushing people away, giving them a mask to hide the emotion. He would think out loud., over-hear himself and probably that's why he makes that illusion of being crazy. Hamlet let off a really awful vibe, when it came to his soliloquy's his harsh words coming from his emotions of his fathers death and how much he doesn't see how life could get any better after that experience. We've all felt that way because of the fact that we've all been hurt so we can connect to Hamlet, The reason why I can pick out something from his experience in the story is because I connect myself to the way he feels about death and revenge. That's going to be based on my perspective on how I see and feel for him. Hamlet actually gave everyone a different mask in the play he wouldn't really give out too much to anybody but he would talk to himself a lot, and that could manipulate the whole play for us.

"Tools That Change the Way We Think."

Technology really changes us for the better or worse, it either makes us even more curious or really dependent on the information. Our thinking can be influenced by anything we read or see in the internet. There's plenty of good and bad stuff out there in the worlds library. You can learn about our Human history, or our conspiracies on "youtube", you can watch videos that can change the way you think whether if its about religion or politics, about nature, or futurism. Even music that you listen to online can change your viewings on the world you live in. It all affects you, as for my focusing on the internet. If I get curious about anything I can always just look it up but that's only my concentration, it would need my attention which has to be something serious to me or else I won't take it serious. Concentration is you forcing yourself attention, while attention is to basically be instinctive about your surroundings and having no barriers on what you're focusing. I learned this through the internet and watching a video of Judduh Krishnamurti, yesterday actually.  But Jidduh Krishnamurti didn't have any technology back in india, he learned in England and opened his mind to everything. While I ( 30 years after his teachings on tv) am studying him. Weird right?

Wow.... Just wow! She is doing better than me.
