Blog Entry 17: The Food Unit

According to my point of view based on the food unit it is seems like  “Allegory of the cave”, “The Truman Show” and “The Matrix, Red Pill or Blue Pill” they are trying to show us about control and power. I think now a days, we are totally controled by world. Like the movie “matrix” everything we do and everything we feel are so limited. We don’t have our freedom. On the other hand, like in the reading “Allegory of the Cave” It shows us man being confused by man to only see what they wanted them to see. His mind was being controlled by the guards. It does have a relation with food that we eat by daily basis. I was trying to mean that we eat lots of fat foods just because of food companies are convincing us to eat that. But the quality of the food is very poor. As a result, people like us who eat those kinds of food got fat and lose physical activity. On “The Truman Show” we also can see a relationship between men controlling man. Truman is only allowed to see what he can see and not for what really life is. Even when he figure out that some unusual thing is going on.Also man still gets the upper hand of turning things around and making Truman believe that the world in which he lives in, is the only perfect world he has. Everything is real in here. We have very connective food relationship with trumen. Such as we have a world of food that contains bad caloris which is known as fast food. And it doesn’t matter how many times we try to avoid it but food companies always find a way to get us the consumer more into their products. They gave us more calories but they made food so tasty that, it is very hard to ignore it. Like truemen we only eat food because we are controlled by food companies. Finally “ The Matrix  between the Red pill and the Blue pill”. In our life we are given the same message in a different way. People do try to open our eyes in certain foods and the harms they may present to us. Neo takes the Red Pill and is open to what the world has been hiding to him for so long time. He choose the red pill because he wanted to face the truth and want to save the world. However as we saw the video “meatrix”, the maker of this film used the theme “the matrix” because it is similer with our daily life. We eat good looking food everyday but we don’t see the awful truth which is hiden inside of it. Those fast foods are made with poor quality meats and we eat that almost everyday. The moral of this “meatrix” film is we must open our eyes and we should start ignoring it as much as we can.
 
            In the blog series I have done lots of task such as making summary, writing essay in individual topics, also in the class we watched movies and discussed about it etc. I have done those thing well.But still I needs some improvement about sentence making,correct word choice and grammar. I have faced lots of interesting challenges like commenting on other class students blogs, making group work assignments, and so on. I think I should work on from now about sentence making,correct word choice and grammatical terms. In CAT-W #3 I have responsed mostly based on my life experience. In addition, I agree that working with the idea of blog entry is totally excellent idea.Because in this sector, I can see other’s writing,  how they think and how they connect their thoughts. Also, anyone can leave comments either they like it or not by giving recommendation to improve essay. I really like to work in Google groups because it helps me to develop my skills for any issue. For example, when I give comment on someone else blog, it gives me idea about how to response.
