AMNH

Well my trip to the museum was pretty fun and educational I didn’t really stay there that long but the

time I was there I explored a lot of different rooms such as the 4th floor which has alll the animals that were extinct such as the dinosaurs,mammouths,and all different types of animals that no longer exist.i took a few pictures not much just some important ones I basically followed the sheet that Dr.Smith gave us such as the room were different types of climates and what causes it to change which is gases from the greenhouse which is made up of nitrogen,oxygen,carbon dioxide,and water vapor.durin this exploring I saw all different types of things that I didn’t even kno they were such as the section were there was animals from the past that I never even heard of.well what I saw at the museum is more believable then the film an inconvenient truth because in the film is only a visual experience that doesn’t explain the different causes of climate in the museum I got to do hands on works which I liked because it made me relize that the world in a couple of years is goin to come an end.i didn’t reallt do a lot of observations but with the help of my group I got some ideas of it some of the museum is media because its information that was made by people that explored the topic and the resources can b found in different exploring websites.the museum was a pretty good trip and in the future wen I have the chance I will go again and explore it from head to toe and I will make sure that I get information on it.when I was in the 4th floor they had a little room that had a t.v showin different types of animals from animal planet and information which is basically media type. This shows how real life can be made into media and all it takes is a person doing research on the topic and sending there information to the museum.i hope that I visit different types of museums so I can learn more about how real life can be changed into media.

BLOG #3

Gnosticism is basically a religious movement that teaches a belief that humans are a souls trapped in a material world created by a spirit called demiurge. the practice of Gnosticism was popular in the medditeranean and middle east in the second and third century.there was an asssumption that gnosticism had a connection with the muslim.this was really a long passage that takes a lot of concentration but pretty intresting becuase wen u read it is gonna make sense and connect with the movie the matrix and the passage the allegory of the cave. in the film of matrix most of the people were trapped in a world that u can never go back once u make a decision by taking the pill red or blue once u take the red pill u cant go back and the blue pill u can and in the passsage of gnoticism is a belief that humans are trapped in a world and it reminded me of the movie when neo takes the pill and his whole life changed and was trapped in a different world which was like 2199.in the passage of the allegory of the cave it makes a lilttle connection with the gnosticism in the allegory of the cave the two people were trapped in the cave and they believed that everything was dark that there was no son because there backs were covering the open gap for the sunlight to come in and it made it sound like they was trapped in a world with no light. the three compare to each other beacuse the main point is to show that the everyone was trappped in a world with just a belief that is made by ur assumption and also in a world were u cant go back. i had a little trouble finding the connection with the three but in the end i learned that is all common sense.

the allegory cave

well while reading the allegory of the cave in my own words i think allegory means ideas and principles that are represented by a character or event in a story.the allegory is basically about two brothers who are trapped inside a cave and only facing one way which is there back towards the sunlight and they see shadows of puppets and the puppet talker made them believe that the shadow was talking but then one day one of the brothers got the chance to see that it was sunlight coming inside the cave this is based on platos allegory.this passage relates with the matrix because in the movie there is this make believe world and it makes them believe things and know that only certain people such as neo is able to.with the choices of seeking the truth in the movie there is all different types of examples that the allegory of the cave is compared to.
