During this semester i think i've improved on my writing skills i know i still have a lot to work on and make myself better, but its a process that will come in time. A lot of writers have issues starting up a paper like myself i usually get stuck in the introduction, i've noticed that everytime i write a paper i have that problem but once i come across the body, im in cruz control. Also writers need to be aware of plagiarism and not to take out sources and write them on their paper and get credit for someone elses work. But i havebnt come across that thought and im sure i wouldn't think about it, the consenquences are not good.Im sure i will overcome my obsticales as a writer and improve myself to be a better one.

I've learn a lot these past weeks while working on my Mid-term paper and using , MLA format, and also using power point. It was a process that required time and dedication, one has to be careful not to plagiarise which can lead to a failor to your paper and also get in truoble for doing so. i really enjoyed doing this project because of the fact that i did research on john F. Kennedy, he's my favorite president of all time, so that's why i was really pleased to do a paper based on him. I couldn't of done an outstanding job on it with out the help of professor Jason Smith, he went through the process of MLA format how to use the format, he also went trough power point which helped the whole class and made our presentations look outstanding, now i feel like i can use power point confidently and do things i never used to be able to do.

Last week the class viewd a movie called "The Truman show", basically what this movie was illustrating events on a characters life from day and night, to make more sence since he was born. He was adopted by a guy who was the owner of a tv show, and he choose truman to be his main star. Of course truman didn't know what was right from wrong because he never stepped out of the island, multipile incidents made him think that remaning in the island would be safe, then again they wouldn't want their man star to find his way to the real world, because if he did there wouldn't be more rattings and their show would be a total fiasco with out him. In the end truman started to find the truth about their world and began to explore until he realized he was being used for a television show. Truamn started to navigate away from their world in a storm where it almost cost his life, he found a door and what he saw was the real world if he crossed over, and he did to live the life where he had been missing for most of his life.

Do you think your life is determined by a special, individual fate, or are you free to choose as you wish?

What is fate ? Fate is the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do destiny, you can make your life easy or hard its all up to the person itself, although many people believe everything happens for a reason.The freedom enjoyed by those in the real world, however, may be just as illusory. You are free to perform an action only if you can avoid performing it. If you have to do something if its not in your power to do otherwise then you are not free to do it.If someone is forcing you to do something against your will or preveting you from doing something you want to do, you are not free. This sense of freedom is often referred to as "negative freedom". Cypher was sick and tired of the matrix "you call this free" cypher asks Trinity. " All i do is what he tells me to do. If i have to choose between that and the Matrix, I would choose the Matrix" by plugging cypher to the Matrix will that make him a free person ? Many would say "NO" because in the Matrix, Cypher still would not be calling the shots.He would lack what is known as "Positive freedom" because he would not have the power to do anything. According to Philosper Immamnuel Kant said that " life is not the kind of experiences you;ve had, but the kind of choices you've made. If you;ve always tried to do the right thing, then your are a good person even if things did not turn out the right way you planned"...Its up to you to make your own fate and lead a good path of life.

Gracia and Sanford us the terms "source" and "ontological status" to make distinctions that allow them to claim that the world in the Matrix is "unreal" and the world outside of the Matrix (outside of the program) is the "real world". What they heck do they mean by "source" and "ontological status"?

In the book The Matrix and Phillosphy it explains that the real and the unreal worlds have different causes. The second way to distinguish between the categories of real and unreal has to do with their respective ontological status put plainly, the way things exist. The meaning of Ontological is the argument of the existence of God holding that the existence of the concept of God entails the existance of God. The matrix is not something you have to believe in its created, on page 61 it states " The Matrix is a very complex computer program made by artifically intellegent machines".
