The Time Machine

The odd element of place is that place exists beyond time. A place we find ourselves in possesses the ability to represent our past, our present, and our future in a seemingly effortless fashion. A place does not require a time machine or futuristic technology to transport us to another time, but can do so in the blink of an eye. The smallest, most unassuming details allow us to relive a moment, in a sense, through the sounds of a particular place. Place is a non-physical space rooted in memory…

The first article I am using as a reference in my research comes from Cine-Tracts, A Journal of Film, Communications, Culture and Politics. Written by film theorist David Bordwell, “Camera Movement and Cinematic Space” brings forth a close examination of the functions of camera movement in cinematic representation using a perceptual approach. He describes movement in cinematic space as a cinematic process, which seeks “systematically to station the viewer as subject before an idealized,…

had started listening to My Chemical Romance again, which was the one string of sanity I had left. I began to relate more and more to Gerard Way’s pained lyrics, “They’re gonna rip up your heads/Your aspirations to shreds/Another cog in the murder machine.” Just knowing that my favorite singer knew what I was going through made me happier. I had been worrying so much about my own shadow that I had stopped taking notice of Giselle, who…

Sylvia Plath’s “Morning Song” explores a mother’s complex emotions towards her newborn child after giving birth for the first time. Although motherhood is often regarded as a joyous event that gives a woman’s life purpose and meaning, “Morning Song” instead depicts motherhood as a complicated event fraught with uncertainty and fear, but also with love and affection. Rather than expressing overwhelming love and happiness, the mother in the poem feels distant from her child and gradually learns to…

Jorge D. Leon Mrs. Martinez English 3 3/31/16 Gambling “Casino gambling is colorful and dramatic and theatrical” – Steve Wynn is correct because there is so much more to casinos, and this is all made possible by gambling (Gambling Quotes). Gambling is a HUGE controversial topic, because they are the supporters who see all the advantages of gambling and the critics of gambling who say that it is a bad thing because it can lead to addiction and sometimes even depression. However gambling is a…

All tourists have a motive behind their travels; this can be between business and pleasure. Observing the demographics of a destination and their characteristics allow for formations of groups that provide information that is important about the destination for businesses and travellers. Psychographics in comparison to demographics allow for further understanding the interest, opinions, and personality traits of a community. Using motives and behavioural traits to help form groups can be very…

of the individuals who are faced with the concepts of the experience machine and Matrix. Although in Nozick 's example, individuals start outside the machine, those in The Matrix, like Neo, begin life in the Matrix. Neo 's subsequent choice to unplug from the Matrix to confront the real world would go against status quo bias and aversion loss, which, I suggest, explains why The Matrix 's narrative revolves around sinister machine rulers, who treat humans as mere batteries, and aim…

Universities are shifting learning away from the traditional behaviourist perspective where students are passive rote-learners (partly due to teacher-centred teaching) to a modern constructivist paradigm where students are actively involved in their learning (Neo, 2005). Explicitly, students learn through learning activities designed by their lecturers and they construct knowledge via experiences gained in the activities. This is in line with Kolb et al. (1984) who argued that “learning is the…
