The connection that I have made between the movies and the text is the Topic of free will and determinism. As I reflect throughout the semester on the topic on hand, many of the leading character as seen in the movies had the decision to choose. Like many of us in our lives we stumble on choices which are given to you these choices can be tuff to handle but the reality is we have to deal with the reality of them. The movie the matrix illustrates free will the fact that the movie projected the dystopian world in which the society was unreal the theme basically described the role of choices. Another movie that seemed very similar to this is Goattca the movie also portrays free will and determinism in my opinion the leading character role emphasized determinism given the fact he was looked on as an out casts to society his determination to prove that he was not what society deemed him to be. This given insight illustrates that he demonstrated free will. Free will is the also seen in the Oedipus  the king play opedipus was seen as unable to determine his faith but his life was predicted by the oracles that also gave him the choice to not take the throne by killing his father and sleeping with his mother He was very to determine to prove that he wouldn’t kill. He was misled that he would not kill. After Oedipus realize that he did exactly what the oracle predicted.  The  theme developed my thinking of free will by helping me develop clear knowledge of choice .

         In my previous blog entries my experience gave me new incite in the way I think about writing in English 101. Though, I am not a person who likes to write about given class topics the class in general peeked my horizon by challenging me to think outside the box.  By blogging about the different stories and plays we have read previously in class I was able to understand and interpret major themes of stories and plays. I have realized through blogging that I have to expand my thoughts and ideas that would enable me to write more effectively. It is very easy to stray off topics when writing a blog mainly because your thoughts race so as you type an entry it very easy to make errors, such as grammar typos etc. careful not to stray off topic.

            My blogs throughout the semester has helped to write about the different character in the movies and short stories I have read and watch. On the blog site it is sometimes it is useful to also see other blog entries from the other student because it give you an idea about what other have to say and also about seeing if you’re on the right track. Some of the draw back are you might read someone blog that wasn’t so effective which if you haven’t done any research you may end making errors. The blogs in which I have written makes it easier to write in the essay given my advice about writing blog entries is to write about a topic which sparks your interest I like to write about current events. Current events are topics which usually give me more information about the world and it also give me a chance to give voice my concerns and my opinion.

           However by writing several blog entries it has change the way I write by helping to follow a structure that would help me to be a successful writer. Blogging also give me chance to review my errors and go over them. It helps the professor to pin point my strong points and weak point which is an advantage for me so I can do better on the following essays. There are specific details the one would not pay attention to is easier to detect through blogging. The other details that we pay attention are is the paper unified and is it mainly what the question asks. Also Blogging is good because it is useful for helping me to write better essays
