Usually, when I watch any kind of movies, for instance drama, comedy, action or fiction my feelings are very remarkable. Many type of these movies touch me emotionally. For instance in an unreal movie when a human being has lost someone like a family member, it makes me feel part of that movie.
When I was watching the Matrix movie, I found it very interesting. I had a lot of nervous while I watched it.
The Matrix was a computer generated program of a world that was not real and anybody who apposed that reality was an enemy.
When Morpheus and Neo went into the Matrix the agents wanted Neo dead.
Morpheus had faith that Neo would be the one who would be able to save the real world from artificial intelligent domination that was generated by the Matrix program.
Neo first struggle to believe what Morpheus was telling him that he was the one that would save the world. In the beginning Neo felt weak, without confidence and unable to believe that Morpheus was telling him the truth. Eventually, Neo had the victory over his fears because he defeated the agents in the Matrix.
All these details placed me with intrigue because I did not know how the movie was going to end.
I never going to forget when I watched a movie which name was " Ghost" this movie was basically about a couple they were in relationship for several years.
The man used to work for an investment company and one of his best friends and co-workers was looking for the possibility how to steal the wallet from his co-worker in order to obtain a password to access to one of the accounts from one those investors and benefit himself.
Unfortunately the bad news was that the good guy who was dating for several years with his girlfriend was assassinated. This scene was exactly related with one of the reasons and examples that I mentioned previously.
It really touched my feelings because even it was unreal movie, it made think how I could protect myself from bad people and keep a reservation and confidentiality.
This nice guy trusted on his best friend who was pretending being his friend and he sent a criminal to kill him. The message I could obtain in this movie taught me how to keep my confidentiality the most as I can in order not to have bad experiences like trusting in someone who we do not know well.
In conclusion any kind of movies is going to make me feel emotional sensitive and sad. I need to understand that they are movies, but even they are unreal, they leave a message how we could improve our lives or how we could improve our mistakes.

Blog Entry 12: Reflection and Evaluation
So far taking this class, I feel a little more familiar with the basic information that the professor is requesting from us as students.
In the beginning, it was not easy for me because I had many difficulties following simple directions in the way that the professor wanted from the students to complete the essays.
I can say that I love computer assignments, but I prefer to have my essays done manually in a piece of paper because I feel that it gives me more possibilities to have my CAT writing final in a better an organized manner.
That would be one of the main reasons that I would rather to have a little more often my practices for my essays to be done in a piece of paper.
I also think that I am still struggling with thesis, claim, reason and evidence, I mean organizing the structure of the essay.
Because I am under the impression that when I need to express in writing any kind of story spontaneously, I usually express my point of view without thinking what is going to be stated as claim, evidence and reason that is required for an essay.
I can say that I have my best intention to pass this class but I feel a little concerned because I feel that the performance that I expect from myself, in comparison with other previous courses, I do not see so successful so far. I am thinking in trying to have some tutoring, in order to obtain a clear idea.
In reference with the two movies I have seen so far, I guess It was a good practice and very helpful to indicate the three steps that the professor requires in an essay.
In conclusion I think that I need to take the time to start with the root that the professor requires from us as students and continue practicing essays the most as I can.
The professor has a very good personality with the students, and I have observed that he is always ready to respond to the students with a good attitude. And in my personal opinion this is a very good valid point to the class and also a good encouragement for myself as student.

Blog Entry 11 CAT-W Practice
In my opinion, Timothy Sexton states that it is very remarkable how many dangerous messages can be sent out by TV and ruin and convince the mind for many young people.
I would say that it is really true , how people can be convinced or being enthusiastic for a TV message that is shown many times in a commercial.
Usually TV reinforces you to convince people that you need to get that product, and it does not matter what effect you could obtain of it, but the message that is being shown by the author is that TV looks for conviction, competition and reinforcement, in order for them to succeed.
In my personal experience I had the opportunity to be working in two different business. I am never going to forget what competitive was each company and also the ability to convince people.
Comparing with one of the passages that says that they have the ability molding the minds of its young fans. In general when you receive a message by TV that you consider that it is dangerous, it is better to feel that conviction instead of allowing them to convince you.
Also is important to analyze and use common sense, because if you feel that the message that is being received does not convince you, it's better to use your own judgment and say no.
Years ago I used to work for a light bulb company in sales department. I remember very clear when one of the trainers said to us that if the customer says that the merchandise does not have a good quality you need to accept that input because if the customer is not happy with our product, he has the right not to buy light bulbs anymore from us, and go to another place.
That's why is more important to go to a field presentation instead of watching dangerous ads are sent out by TV that can confuse people and ruin your mind.
In reality TV needs audience, needs to succeed with it's image, needs to keep the ability how the message is going to be delivered and enter in our mind, and especially in young people.
In other words the message that Timothy Sexton, the author states is that dangerous messages that are sent out by TV can easily confuse, and allow us to confuse our mind completely.
In my personal opinion the most important is our conviction, own judgement and knowledge, because the dangers or reality TV are every day in our lives.
Another evidence was, when I had the opportunity to talk to one of my best friends, and she stated that her child was not paying attention in class and she was desperate with this issue, because she had been diagnosed with ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
She was against of prescribed medicines, and she made the comment to me that she had watched on TV a message about natural medicines, and it was especially for children who are diagnosed with this medical disorder.
She stated that the message on TV was delivered with sufficient conviction for the customer, and by the time she made the decision to provide the natural medicine for her child, it did not have a satisfactory result that she expected.
I informed to my friend that she should not guide herself for a simple commercial or message that was sent out by TV.
In conclusion according to this story, this is the exact information Timothy Sexton states about dangerous messages being sent out by TV, because the only purpose for them is to mold your mind , have the ability to convince people and obtain the good value of their image.

Blog 10 Review The Matrix
Claim:
The Matrix is a computer generated program of a world that is not real and anybody who apposes that reality is an enemy. When Morpheus and Neo went into the Matrix the police and agents went after them to kill them.
Reason:
Morpheus had faith that Neo would be the one who be able to save the real world from artificial intelligent domination that was generated by the Matrix program.
Evidence:
Neo first struggle to believe what Morpheus was telling him that he was the one that would save the world. In the beginning Neo felt weak, without confidence and unable to believe that Morpheus was telling him the truth. Eventually, Neo had the victory over his fears because he defeated the agents in the Matrix.

Blog Entry 9: Describing my experience with The Matrix discussion telecommute.
As soon as I finished my daily work, I started to read the information posted in " Living in the Matrix" to familiarize and feel ready to follow the right directions. I answered the Matrix quiz questions as my best and I also responded to one of the questions that the professor had indicated to us to respond. I need to confess that I felt very nervous in the beginning of class, because I did not have anybody who could guide me following simple directions and I honestly did not feel so competent trying to complete my assignments following directions on line. I prefer a regular class in case I have any question, I can share it with any other student or with the professor. But I took the positive way, having learned something new how to manage myself on line little by little and also the interaction with different students was very interesting and helpful. I hope for my next time assignment on line to be easier than that day.

Entry 8: Responding to a significant topic in The Truman Show
Topic 1
The story is talking about a person whose name is Truman. He wishes to have a regular life without complications and obtain his happiness. Truman is in his thirties and he works as a salesman for an insurance company and he lives in a beautiful city which name is Seahaven and it is located in an Island. Truman seems to have a very nice sense of humor and a very good heart with others and he says that something is not going right on his life and later he discovers the truth, and he starts to realize about the reality . " The Truman Show" producers start to fail with certain mistakes and make Truman think about the reality. Truman made the decision to leave his town Seahaven, when he understood that everybody the audience was involved in his life. He tells his family friends and wife that he is going to a place that he likes very much which name is Fiji. There in Fiji he met a beautiful woman, and he feels very enthusiastic and happy because he realizes that is a real life for him but his producer, Cristoff allows him to know the truth and tell him that is better for him to be in Seahaven and Truman after knowing Cristoff's words knew that his entire life was a fake TV studio. Truman never wanted to leave his Island despite of his fear of water, when he was a child and he saw his father drown in a storm. After this long trip as a show, Truman knew the real truth that was around him.
I disagree with Cristoff 's decision, for the following reason:
Usually producers want to succeed and demonstrate his or her talent in order to have a high percentage of audience and show the world what can be done or what needs to be improved. But I disagree completely with Cristoff about having done a film without asking for permission. I would not like to be in Truman 's shoes and feel victim that I have been recorded for my entire life and just to show the world about something that I do not know. We can obtain many different ways in order to record our lives and show the world about a reality. And also be prepared to start with a show that I have the knowledge that is a show.
