Love and Alienation: Love Is Blind A great mind once said that “Love is blind”, which has come to mean that if you love someone, you cannot see any faults in that person. Some believe this is a lifelong feeling, but I believe it is only temporary. In the film Her by Spike Jonze, Theodore falls in love with his operating system and is forced to grow out of the honeymoon phase as the operating system advances. When Theodore first starts to fall in love with Samantha (his OS), he is blind to the fact that he is not in a normal relationship. This reminds me of a piece of art we studied: The Lovers by Rene Magritte. This painting is of two people kissing, while their faces are covered by white sheets. The film Her and the panting The Lovers parallel each by being the beginning stages of an awestruck relationship, and then the later stages when the masks come off. Each work is similar to the other, but portray themselves in different ways. When Theodore and Samantha first meet and begin to get to know each other, it is a fun, flirty relationship that seems to be perfect. Samantha supports his interests, career, and emotions. She listens to him and gets to know him. It was an idealistic relationship, besides the fact that Samantha wasn’t human. Theodore was the happiest he had been since his divorce. He saw no flaws in the relationship; he was blind. If this feeling was to be painted onto canvas, it would become the painting of The Lovers. The man and the woman seem to both be…

I chose to volunteer at New Directions the shelter for domestic violence. When we decided what community service site we wanted to work at I had to choose between my love for children of my desire to help people who have been put in hard to escapable situations. I value community service and voiding doing things that everyone are already doing and since Bessie Weller was the mandatory location from last year I knew many people would chose to do that location. That is why I chose to do New…

weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across the room. I only see a blur. Then after he’s on the ground I could see him clearly. I could also hear people chanting like wild animals. Then I…

The park was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field. I could smell the popcorn in the air, and Jack said he wanted some so I bought it. "Today 's my last game" said Jack "are you coming…

1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth…

Whitman Predicting Ginsberg Every piece of poetry examined thus far this semester has had one common underlying thread. Regardless of form, style, or language, every collection of works has served as a vehicle to document history and warn humanity about the future. A fine example of this is the juxtaposition of mid 19th century poet Walt Whitman, and mid 20th century poet Allen Ginsberg. In his poem, Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry, Whitman envisions a hopeful future for America, while subtly…

being dependent on other people or on things; self-control and autonomy; privacy; the maintenance of one 's own standards, of all kinds; self-esteem” ("Philosophical Approaches to the Dilemma of Death with Dignity"). I contend dignity refers to the actual true quality of life and “a death with dignity is a death which enables the dying person to retain the elements of dignity which he or she values”(Asia Pacific Economics Blog”). The right to die is not a new controversy and in fact, in the…

the instant success of making waves in the market, after rebranding, I would give Fireball a grade of A in this category. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire was launched following the success of Fireball’s launch and therefore did not uncover unmet needs. Ranked number four globally as top liquor brands, Jack Daniel’s has a very loyal following and makes a mark with $2.7 billion worldwide annual sales (Holodny, 2015). Jack Daniel 's Tennessee Fire’s image is representative of the positive…

well as several U.S. states, the first being Oregon. While substantial progress has been made in the movement to legalize PAS, many citizens with terminal illnesses are still refused the choice to end their lives on their terms. The legalization of PAS in the U.S. is simply the humane thing to do as it prevents the unnecessary suffering of terminally ill patients. Furthermore, ending the ban on PAS would treat all patients fairly under the Constitution, and discontinue the unregulated…
