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…

In this life we will face many life lessons, accomplishments, trials and tribulations. The most we can ask for is to have a healthy happy family. But unfortunately there are many terminal illnesses that we cannot prevent or cure. One of the most painful things to see, is someone you love suffering. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the option to “pass on”, on your own terms? In many states, assisted suicide is not allowed. Dr. Jack Kevorkian believed in assisted suicide and helped many people make…

take its natural course and active euthanasia is killing the individual or giving the means to a person to commit suicide (assisted suicide), basically “passive was morally acceptable and active was not” (Jecker, Josen & Pearlman, c2007). For example passive euthanasia is the stoppage of treatment and withdrawal of essential life support systems at a time when death is imminent, therefore allowing nature to take its natural course by disconnecting mechanical respiration, force nutrition and…

Criminal Profiling is a technique whereby the probable characteristics of a criminal offender or offenders are predicted based on the behaviors exhibited in the commission of a crime.
