Blog 10: "Hero and anti-hero in the movie Hero"

A hero is the person who risk himself and hes life to save others in need,also a good hero has no fears and is a great leader at times of need. Bernie Laplante being the one who save all those lives in the plane and risk hes own in the process has to be the hero of this story,When ask if he was to be the hero by Gayle(a reporter, and one of the people the Bernie save when the plane crash)Bearnie answer back to her by saying if he looks like the type of person the will risk hes life to save others even though he lie to her he only said it because he didnt want to expose John Bubber who is the one who took bernie's place calling him self the hero,Bearnie was a great hero in the story even though he had many defects he showed to have great heroic qualities by risking hes life in the face of danger we saw how much courage he really has.

John Bubber in the other hand has to be the anti-hero of the movie.Bubber took bearnie's place by making the public believe the he was the saviour of flight 104,Bubber also is pretty complex through out the concept of the movie he did took bernie's fame and furtune but at the same time he was kind of a hero by motivating kids at the hospital and telling people to help the homeless by donating their bed sheets this show the even though he was greedy for the fame he had a good heart and wanted to help those in need.Bubber show some characteristics of an anti-hero by lying to the public and walking around like if he is the saviour of the plane and by stealling bernie's spot in being rich this are some of the ways that an anti-hero acts.

Blog 9"CATW Practice Test 1"

The "An education in citizenship" talk to us about the meaning and the need of how it is important for illegal young people to have an opportunity at education and be able to attend college at Illinois thanks to a vote the recently passed a bill that would allow them to do so.

"Advocates for immigrants estimate the there are 3,000 young people in Illinois in this awkward position" meaning the this students are not able to study because of their current status in the country.They had been arguments between the state demanding if whether or not the students should attend school.But one thing in favor tours them is that their parents pay taxes in the state meaning the that main practical criterion for access to in state tuition is acceptable.

Another thing is true and that is the students from any of the other 49 states could make the same arguments that the students from Illinois are making since their parents also pay and support federal loans,many of this students ask themselves why will they charge legal students from out of state more tuition then what they charge the non-citizen immigrants,knowing that the difference between both in-state and out state is from 5,302 for in state and 13,906 for students from the other states citizen.

Blog 8 " Summary of Red pill or Blue pill: Is Ignorance Bliss?"

The matrix and the allegory of the cave have many similarities.Neo just like Socratos feel like the life that they are living is far more different then what they are being told it is so both of them decide to go in a journey to find the truth about the world without knowing that the truth is far more complex then what they ever imagine.But The allegory of the cave is not the only story in the text being compare to the Matrix Alice in Wonderland is also another story with some similarities for example like Alice did in the movie Neo goes "through a mirror" into a new world and like Alice Neo goes through a series of events the leave him wondering and asking him self who he is and what is real.Before This shows us how easy life could change with just the blink of an eye, is always good to analyze and think before making decision the could change the way you look at things sometimes is better to just live in a lie that cant hurt you or change you in any way because Ignorance Is Bliss.
