Jumping the Shark

        The television show in which I found a "jumping the shark" moment was in Bones. I can't really say there is an exact moment in which they had this occur, so I'll just explain. For their new episodes, they thought up of the plan of Bones awaiting a child of Booths' to grab viewers attention. How would that grad viewers attention? In my opinion, perhaps it would leave them curious as to how it would work for her to be working as an Anthropologist in her status.
        Before this moment, I wouldn't really expect anything that occurred in the show. Most things were really something I could have not guessed. One day a mystery would happen one way and the next day a different way. The episodes were just something to look forward to, leaving us wondering,"What will the next one be about". Now, I kind of expect certain things to go on within the episodes. I would guess certain things though, and it would go on within shows.
        There's nothing really big I find wrong with the show now though, but what I can say though is what kinda bugs me is how they decided to make it Booth's daughter or son. It was something expected to hear honestly. They should have made it something to where no one would have guessed that Bones' baby was that certain guys'. Or perhaps leaving it a mystery till the end of the season. Something to not make it too obvious would have made it better such as a big turn to make things shocking, if you guys have ever had this happen as well. Thats really the only thing that killed it for me. In my opinion, within television shows, surprises make things exciting.

Something random-ish. Finding a woman in a tunnel.

A baby shower expected to happen somewhere within the season. Nothing wrong with it, but surprises are always nice.

Images to theatre

        The following pictures remind me of the play Julius Caesar because of the fact that in the play, there was a part where Brutus and Anthony were giving their speeches. This reminds me of where they were giving their speech. As I was driving by to downtown, I realized that this had the ability to complete the job of this assignment. What gave me the idea to take this photo was seeing the columns. They reminded me of how the buildings were also in Rome. I concluded that it was possibly a type of  architecture that was used then. Brutus and Anthony relate to this picture because they had said their words at a place like this in a way. This picture shows how in the scene Brutus was speaking his words. It also conveys the image of the part of where they spoke freely of their thoughts. 

Researchers Ambition

Link to article: http://news.yahoo.com/researchers-tribes-clash-over-native-bones-160144542.html

     I agree with the quote, “Too much ambition leads to disaster". As far as I have heard, there has been several times where many strive to make for find something amazing. In the end it doesn't result to be too great. An example of this is how titanic didn't end too well. They tried building one of the biggest ships existing but it ended tragic and several died. Researchers tried to look for the oldest bones or artifacts in the end, Native Americans wanted their artifacts or 'ancestors' back, as read in the link above.

     As researchers found one of the oldest bones found till this day, they also figured out what type of category they fit into. Researchers found out that some were Native Americans as well as they figured out what tribe they belonged to by connecting historical facts of how the rituals were for burying them to make sure those bones fit to the corresponding group. 

     Later as Native Americans found out that researchers have found a possible ancestor of their, they wanted them back for they found that it was rude for them to unbury them as well as examining them without consent. The Native Americans also felt as if the researchers were taking things that did not belong to them

     The Native tribes have a point there really. If you think about it, its like researches in... One hundred years from now unburying a family member of yours and examining them to see what they find. Sure we won’t be alive by then perhaps, but if you put yourself in the shoes of the Natives we'd all understand a bit more. I'm sure no one would like to have others pick at a family member that has deceased and resting in peace. That family member would belong to us and the researchers would be taking them without asking. If they can examine a human, they can probably do research on if family members of the bones still exists.

      The statement fallows along with this article because as researchers found old bones, the natives wanted them back. It caused a disaster because soon other tribes wanted their belongings back. Soon "The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990" was made. This act was made for researchers to return any claimed items or discoveries back to their owners.

       This act matters because the things that people find are already belonging to others in a way. Everyone would like people to return things they loose. If they were to have asked permission, things would have been more civilized probably. Tribes wouldn't have been upset to have others touching their belongings nor researchers would have problems.

Fable:

           

            We were only a few weeks old when we were departed from our mother. How upset we were but the last words she had told us were,”Remember what I have taught you. It will come to use in the near future.”          

            To new homes we were off. A new start, a new environment, a new everything to cover it!

“Your names shall be… I know! Angus and Aimee, perfect.” Alice had said.

She had taken us to her room and made us a basket for each of us to sleep.  “She’s quite a nice person, don’t you think Angus?”

“She certainly is. Gee... I’m hungry. Should we go find something?”

“Now… I haven’t told my father about you guys yet, so be on your best behavior if you possibly can.”

Angus has quickly ran to his place. As he wonders what adventures he can possibly do, Alice walked in with a bowl of leftovers she had had the other night and placed them on the floor.

“My father and I discussed this, about having two kittens, the other day… but he wasn’t very pleased. He was out of his mind, intoxicated, like every other night. I’m sure that with you two around I won’t feel as alone.”

I and Aimee stared at Alice with our large grey eyes.  Aimee had jumped out of her place and purred next to Alice’s leg. I sensed that something wasn’t right, at least not with Alice. But perhaps I’d see things over time. I jumped out of my place and Aimee and I began to eat. We were starving!   

We suddenly heard a door slam shut. We raised our heads to see no one.

“Quick! Under my bed kittens!’

“Alice? Where on earth are you?!”

As we saw from under the bed we were whispering on how horrible it was to hear him. This sure would be… I thought this would be a safe home.

“Hey dad... How was it with your friends?” asked Alice worriedly in a way.

“Spit it out. What did you do now? Huh?’’

“You see… well… I brought home two kittens if that’s fine with you?”

“When did we have a discussion about this? You better take care of them or I’ll be the one in charge get rid of them.’’

“I’ll be sure to take good care of them dad.”

As the days have passed, Angus and Aimee had realized that her father had been repeatedly hurt her day after day. They had tried doing something once, they were hurt and from that day forth, all they found themselves were harm. They only wished to be in a safe place where there was no need to deal with such things. How terrible it was.

Angus was limping as he walked to her place. “Aimee? I don’t wish to live this way anymore. Lets escape this overwhelming home. We are outnumbered. We can’t take this guy. Alice can’t help us.. We’ll just have to help ourselves. No one will feed us.”

“Those cat… those cats! I’ve had enough of them!’’

Alice’s fathers began to through them around and mistreat them as he had with Alice. They felt the pain and suffering that Alice had once lived. They limped their way out of the door.

“What have we done to deserve such owners? Such selfish machines that they are. But we’ll return Angus, no worries. Love will just kill us all…”

Angus and Aimee had thought that love was what had been shown them.

They found refuge at the park. There they figured no one would surely come to harm. They’d see tons of people come and go. Both had stayed hidden in the bushes for the meantime till it was night time.

Days past by and food was scarce. They soon decided to change from their spot that they once were in.

 As we were shortly coming to the corner of the street, we have noticed someone behind us. As we turned, we realized someone was about to catch us, “Yay, a new home where protection will be above our heads?’’ said     Angus. “Free at last,” Aimee had said. Days and weeks passed by, but no one wished to adopt them.

“I feel so miserable without you, it's almost like having you here,” both had said as they fell asleep.

Satirizes how some foster kids are adopted yet they aren't treated the way they should be and they're left all on their own once more with the thought that family love is nothing but a joke.

John's Declaration of Independance

John Declares His Independence

As I see the one I have known for so long, it upsets me to hear and see the things she has done. Why must this world be corrupted? While Lenina is doing her wrong deeds, it’s a horrid sight that I wish not to see of my mother. I hope to free myself from immorality, to see the reality. As I close your eyes, I open them to still see that nothing can possibly changed. Still, no one sees the underlying truth of life. I wish for all to see what life really should be like .We all misinterpret things for other definitions.

My hope is to save the last of the integrity of the world alive so I can free myself from the things I loathe. This world has gone insane and at times I feel like I can’t handle this anymore. If I try to do something, then I end up being look at as if I have lost my head. This is what will happen when I do that. As I speak, my words fly up, while my thoughts remain below.

I shall free myself from sharing myself with others, from participating in activities I do not wish to do, from everything I wish to not do.  My confusion is on why people think that not sharing themselves with others is selfish. Since when have morals been lost? Since when has it been okay to do what is taught now? Since when have people thought of nothing but sex and soma, sex and soma? Soma is killing their brains I tell you! They’ll all end up in the hospital where the dying go if people keep consuming so much of it. They’ll be watched to die by little kids for conditioning.

 I wish to free myself from sexual games. Those do not have true feelings behind it. It’s just the lust that the people have, and that’s something that is not needed. Lenina has shown me great kindness but that is not an excuse on why to do such acts. Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind. The definition for love has been redefined in these ages present, but how much I wish it hadn’t. Girls and boys need to show respect for one another. If I have such perverse thoughts I will surely punish myself, for I don’t allow such thoughts to appear in me. If I don’t want others to have them, it wouldn’t be right for me to do so. I will cleanse myself if my mind has dishonest brain work reasoning. People see love as an everyday thing. It isn’t meant to be that way is you were to read William Shakespeare’s literature, all the infections that the sun must suck up from the society. O, what men dare do!

Their way of grouping kids is not right and I that would change in today’s society. It makes them want to loath certain object when they have done nothing wrong. At times they’re made to dislike other groups, what is going on? How the old amendment would say,”All men are created equally”. What has happened to that? Now our world is divided. There is nothing wrong with being different, from being colored, from being in an outfit that differs from what your group wears. Equality needs to be brought again. If we were to do a count on how many could be just themselves without being grouped, there would probably be a zero percent of people with those rights. A life with no rights of expressing oneself a certain way that isn’t your color of choice you want must certainly be an annoyance.

That is why I will declare myself free from soma, free to live my life how I want. If I continue to see the present things done, I will not tolerate this any longer. We need to maintain natural tranquility, change the mentality of some, and keep sanity. I declare myself free from this society that has driven me insane for I cannot fight this system any longer so set me free. A thousand times goodnight.

Ethos: 
-How the old amendment would say,”All men are created equally”.
Talks about historical things that use to exist but in Brave New World it doesn't anymore
Logos: 
-My confusion is on why people think that not sharing themselves with others is selfish. Since when have morals been lost?
Making reasoning of morals lost and judging others of their actions done
Pathos: 
-I declare myself free from this society that has driven me insane for I cannot fight this system any longer so set me free.
The society saddens John, he has pity.
