Sonnet 111 Analysis

The sonnet reflects on the boy’s understanding that he is not the same person inside as presented to the public in his profession, or just in general. The actual “deeds” that he performs were not entirely specified. However, he expresses an immense distaste for his outcome. But ultimately, he does not choose to quit and swallows the troubles in order to continue what he started.The boy perhaps is in a negative feedback loop in what he is doing and it is not benefiting him as much as it should. His actions has led him to some unfortunate events that ruined his reputation. He is apologizing for this outcome, but is not entirely ashamed by it at the same time. He’s coming to terms with it instead of wallowing, in response to someone else’s pity.

The values of medieval literature revolve around the noble actions conducted by those seeking honor. There were codes developed to assist in the structure in mentality for those willing to follow the fundamentals of the noble knight.

“Brave New World” Analysis

“Brave New World” serves as another archetype for the social dystopian ideas we as a people design that could become extreme in the future.  It is fairly common that the future is to be seen as driven by technological advances, as well as diminishing in natural actions and components of life (i.e. reproducing).  There is always one person (becoming the main character) who becomes skeptical of the day-to-day life that everyone lives and wonders what the meaning is behind it, or if there even is one.  Their path to finding answers create many results, depending on the character in context to the conflict.

Romanticizing “Fern Hill”

“Fern Hill” by Dylan Thomas is a poem that celebrate the whimsy of childhood.  The poem revolves around the focus of how impactful time is in a person’s life, through the eyes of a young boy (Korg).  The boy serves an archetype to the protagonist wandering through life curious about its paradox.  Thomas uses sensual imagery to assist in his contemplation through intellectual understanding (Korg). The main character’s young age balances out the pensiveness of the subject, aiding in the reader’s ability to understand Thomas’ perspective.  This poem is mostly popular for the simple means of romanticism Thomas uses in his poems in order to apply sentiment (Korg).  This healthy collaboration of literary components involve the use of senses to illustrate the common idea of understanding the internal conflict of aging in a word that remains the same.  This poem is special because the details depicted serve as an embellishment to the simplicity of nature and common coming-of-age realizations in the changing of time.  In “Fern Hill,” Dylan Thomas uses the literary element of imagery to romanticize childhood innocence.

Plastic Paradise: Follow Up

Plastic is a large issue globally because of the lack of necessary awareness provided to the subject. A lot of people are under-informed on the conflict of plastic pollution environmentally and biologically. Raising awareness can increase the ability to reduce its effect on the world, depending on the angle reached for improve. Even if the ideas were to start off in a small form, the effort could spread or branch worldwide. The most important point is to get people thinking on the impact they’re making on the earth without even knowing it.

The Grapes of Wall Street

I had to write a paper where I had to relate a current injustice in society to the historical (yet fictitious) struggles of the novel "The Grapes of Wrath." I'm going to be completely honest with you: the entire time that we were reading this book in class, I didn't read a single page of it. No on did. We all admit that we sparknoted each chapter. We didn't tell the teacher this because she seemed to be a die-hard fan of this book. But it's super difficult to read since the characters talk in the strongest of slang varieties of the 1930's. Not to mention, I had other things to do and spend my time on then to strain my brain reading about the great depression. But I did draw a correlation between the story anf Occupy Wall Street. So that's what I wrote about.

The School System Doesn't Respect Ethnicity

Today, I spent the majority of my time in offices debating with administration on the subject of me wrapping my hair up. The result was that I had to sit at a desk under a staircase for the rest of the day for refusing to take it off. I sat at the desk for 3 hours and the rest of the say I sat in the front office waiting to speak to someone.

What Makes Artificial Intelligence So Uncanny?

Robots are a phenomenon that have been a science-fictional creative outlet for as long as the genre existed. They're mainly symbolic of the future, but ironically enough, they replicate the fundamentals of human nature more than you would think. A lot of the time, a movie would start with a scientist or a human in general who gets a robot of some sort, but then they notice that their robot is starting to develop human characteristics... mainly emotions or sentiment, that attracts or repels the main character. Sometimes, it works out really well where the robot becomes a part of the human's life. Other times, their development worries the human and they try to get rid of it. From there, the robot may either fight back or just become a martyr for robots everywhere.

ALL HAIL MACBETH: My 1st Time At An Indie Theater!!!

“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.” 
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

The Most Awesomest Top 15 Albums of '15

I have recently discovered that I have a fiery passion for music. It could be because I like dancing to anything that has the slightest rhythm. Or because I have found new artists to enjoy. But the thing is that they aren't new. I just so happen to find them in moments where I really needed to hear their sound. Regardless, I think that they are phenomenal to the point where I need to share them with you so you can understand why they deserve your love too. (These are in no particular order)

My Most Epic Documentary I've Ever Made... Still In The Making

It has been a while since I have made a documentary. And recently I have been reasonably busy with my need to graduate and enter the world as an adult. But at some point, I realized how special this time of my life is and how I'll never be this age again or feel the things my emotions are dishing out to me specifically at this time.

I wanted to capture the moments and their uniqueness, and make a film out of it for me to keep and cherish for the rest of my life. I still have six months until graduation, but I managed to make a good trailer out of the footage I have so far.

Sowithout further ado, here is the trailer for my documentary, "Senior", to be released summer 2016 following my graduation.

Happy Anniversary ^_^

A lot has changed in the past 3 years. For example, I'm a senior in high school, I have two awesome brothers who will be four and two soon, I'm getting ready to go to college, and I'll be leaving to go to work in a little while (gotta 12-4). It's one of those things where I wish I could leave my younger self a note saying something wise like, "It gets better."

But I think part of me knew it would get better when I started my creative outlets. This blog was one of those means of escape that I made to give me something to connect myself with others. At the time (9th grade), I was in an online school, so it seemed like a perfect time to start blogging. Now, I have less time to blog, which saddens me because I realized it's been 3 years when Facebook notified me with one of those "On This Day" thingies.

I had a shift in values, but not a bad one. I have a lot to focus on with my career in film (I'm also working on a documentary, coming to you next summer), or just adulthood in general. I plan to continue sharing to my wonderful blog in due time. This post is just something I wanted to make to myself to say, "Thank you for making this website." And thank you to all the people who have helped me along the way, and made blogging a part of my life that I will never forget.

The Lazarus Effect: Amygdala Overdrive

I do not normally watch horror films, and the only reason I watched this one was because Donald Glover is in it and he is a very awesome man. But once I watched it, I was completely surprised.

How Much Power Do Words Have?

Words are the main form of communication between humans. They help establish a sense of understanding between individuals. However, the way words are defined vary according to each person. This is because of their particular upbringing, and/or events that have occurred in their life to alter their understanding of said term. With this in mind, it is very difficult (or even impossible) to know how certain words will impact others. Whether seen with little meaning or great significance, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and feelings as to what context words should be used in.

How Should Parents Raise Their Children?

There is no set agenda to how a parent is supposed to set regulations for their children. The only case in which such an idea is legitimate is if there are particular outcomes a parent is trying to avoid for their child. Setting rules without the proper explanation towards how they help the child long term will only make them feel like they would have to sneak around. The method of regulation may even make the child feel that breaking said rules will punish them throughout their lifetime. The adequate key to parenting is not in keeping children in line, but in giving them standards to become decent adults. The main point of setting limits, nevertheless, is showing your attentiveness and care in what the subject is doing with their life.

Mind Blowing Music (2): Awesomeness

I have found some great music since my last playlist. And I mean music that shined a new light on how life can be seen. For starters, I had a chain reaction of musical unveiling that lead me to the Chilłwave Radio on Pandora. As of today, that is the estate on I listen to every morning to get ready for the day. It sounds like indie rock and trap music had a beautiful baby. It's great to skateboard to as well.

A few of these songs will be from that station, but a lot of it is from songs I've overheard and just had to look up or download so that I can listen to its greatness again.
