As Dr. Oliver Sacks explains, we have five senses but there are other senses that are considered secret-senses or sixth senses which are just as vital as the other senses but go unrecognized. “It is the awareness of the relative position of the trunk and limbs, derived from receptors in the joints and tendons.” For normal people, in normal situations, these secret-senses simply do not exist.…

    Fear of the unknown is something that plagues most people. The notion that there are matters that exist out of their control and, sometimes, out of their knowledge absolutely terrifies them. In the words of psychologist Carl Jung within the terms of a person’s psyche, the place in the mind and soul that controls thoughts and feelings within the body, this ‘unknown’ is referred to as the shadow. The play Macbeth by William Shakespeare is a good example of the shadow at work within a psyche, specifically in the character of Macbeth himself who struggles constantly with his own ideas and morals which eventually causes him to lose his life.…

    Thesis Statement Most of our actions are governed by non-conscious parts of the brain, giving logical reasoning a very limited and ineffective authority over how we decide and what we do. The sub-conscious, or the unconscious always has a stronger control over the self, and trying to resist its authority would only lead to frustration and disillusionment.

Research Questions Why does Hamlet struggle so much in making decisions and taking steps? What keeps him from acting out his revenge?…

    For this writing assignment I was instructed to watch the video “The Magic of the Unconscious: Automatic Brain.” The video, “The Magic of the Unconscious: Automatic Brain,” was about a series of illusions that fool people on an everyday basis. The video discusses our everyday routines that we have become unaware of because we do not realize our brain is doing most of the work. It goes in-depth, providing information about the different types of mind tricks that humans do not realize and are essentially blind to. Specifically, the video informs the viewers on the concepts of humans being unconsciously aware of concepts such as selective attention, or our ability to only focus on certain things at once, and how our body has billions of electrochemical…

    Theatrical performances of stories are usually very different and more dramatic than the original story because of many elements of the theatre production. This statement is no different for the theatre production of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The lighting, sets, and sound effects really give a scarier mood to the story. The dark and ominous lighting really set the mood during the scene of the performance when the Headless Horseman was chasing Ichabod. The dark and scary lighting and then suddenly, with a creepy white glow, the Headless Horseman appeared.…
