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


     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.
