Historical and Personal Illusion


When I was younger, I use to believe that vampires really do exist. It was something about them that always had me thinking and for my brothers to keep promoting them put no doubt in my mind that they’re real. They not like monsters or even killing dolls made with personification. Vampires are actually people who goes for other people bloods “that’s something that creep me out the most” but I think that’s what kept me going just because I thought it was cool and the fact how they can’t be seen in the light but come out at night.

As I started to get older, still haven’t come to a conclusion weather they real or not. I’m actually hearing and seeing more of them than ever, so the thought is still in the back of my mind. But I’m starting to realize that might be false just because the too many people “all of a sudden” are a vampire. But the shows they have about them and just the way how they promote it seems too realism to me though, they even had an episode on Law & Order: SVU and the traits they gave were actually amazing.

I’m so hype to know do vampires really exist or that just something people like to believe in since every one lives a “vampire life?”  But besides staying up late and can’t be see in the light, or maybe drinking other people  blood, how do an REAL vampire lives? That’s something I would like to know and learn more about.

Summary " The Allegory of Cave'

In the Republic Book VII , the article "The Allegory of Cave' indicates the main purpose of majority of human beings not being able to enlighten the truth of the world, just cause of what they seeking, they living in a underground den. The prisoners are trapped in a dark room chained up and the images they see are the ones coming from beside or passed by them because of the bright fire behind them giving them the light because it bouncing off the walls before them. So they not really seeking the actually imagine, its only the shadow that they believing everything is made of wood and stone and various materials to be real image.

"And now look again, and see what will naturally follow it the prisoners are released and disabused of their error", having a hard time seeking nature. He so used of facing the dark walls and seeing shadows , so when he actually can see the object first hand its hard for him to adjust to the light and the objects that passed by only seems unreal to him. Not having a full understanding on what the objects in color are. As he get getting a clear visual of the objects, he not seeking the truth, he not believing what he seeing for the first time. Meaning its new to him he don't want to believe it.

" And when he remembered his old habitation, and the wisdom of den and his fellow prisoners, do you not suppose that he would felicitate himself on the change, and pity them ?, now that he get the full visual he shows the light off to his equal. Meaning that he don't want his equal to believe what they seeing was actually real when it wasn't. But of course being in the dark den knowing that his equals eyes aren't very steady but he still manage to show them the new sight of the true life. They thought he was being ridiculous. They even suggested, not to think of ascending. His equal were so tamid of the light ans what their owners would do to them if they saw them fixing their eyes even towards the light, "they would put him to death", something that they didnt want and only made them even more scared.

According to the article, with the prisoners really seeking the truth into nature only made them better and knowing that its way more out there then a solid color. "But wether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is seen only with an effort; and when seen, is also inferred to  be the universal author of all things beautiful and right' only made the article more understanding and clear, putting the effort to actually extended your eyes to the light wether it will  hurt you or not, you will get the full image not just the shadow anymore no matter how long youve been in the dark for. The result you will get will be the right result and also beautiful then what the prisoners was expecting because what they was facing the whole time.

Blog 1: Diagnostic

"Hype'" is basically a article on advertisements and how the population had became so over rated throughout these pass years espically for people that just coming up in the world. Which that something I agree on because the visual is something you could actually see instead of imaginning it now. It's like you getting a clear understanding on what they supporting.

"The increase in commercial advertising has happened so steadily and relentlessly that we havent quite woken up to yhr absurdity of it all". When I read that line it really had me thinking and knowing for sure that is true. When I think about, I saw a commercial this morning and the advertisememnt was school (actually becoming or taken the chance to become something in life not jus sleeping it away.)
When I saw that commercial and actually heard the words the masn was speaking, it actually alln makes sense. Young children do waste their time sleeping their life away instead of getting up and doing something educated with themselve, like for example going to school and getting a education.
Another line that caught my attention "Anywhere your eyes can possibly come to rest is now a place that corporate American's view, can and ought to be filled with a logo or productmessage." 100% true because now they promote anything and everything just to make an advertisement . They have commercial on clothing line down to pets or maybe even households and let's not forget the update on famous people that going on in their life wheather it's good or bad.

The population on advertisement will keep increasing ans thats not going to change. And thats so for all tv, commercial, radio station, buses, stadiums and even billboards. The reason for that is because people keep engaging on it so they going to keep promoting it.
