The beginning of this class was totally different.In my other class we take notes,keep ourself busy with tones of books and questions and so on.But this class is totally refreshing.In this class we don't need to write.We just type in our blogs and post it.The most helping of all is that your classmates respond to your writing.The more you gather ideas the more your knowledge expands.I just hope that i keep working hard and harder so that I don't make my professor disappointment at all.Hoping that i can pass my CAT exam and can progress to my ENG 101.That my wish for every classmates in my class

Blog entry 06 "THE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE"
The word reality is the most complex word ever.What is reality?The things you are shown or the things you believe. For some reality is what they are said to be truth like the kids, and for others reality is what they can see by themselves like adults.With the change of stages from childhood to adulthood we keep on exploring things and gaining knowledge.When I compare my life with Socrates point of view regarding reality, I see myself still struggling to go beyond the boundaries.In my this stage, I am still learning and gaining knowledge.But people should always try to face the sun and to see the real truth hidden in it.
'' In the allegory of the cave'' Socrates while explaining the reality, stated about an imaginary scenario of some people as chained.They are shown shadows of objects which they take as real.They never tried to think about the truth beyond of this shadows.The kids are exactly like this chain people.They believe what their parents say to them.Like one of them was me.My mom use to tell me about fairies,that if I behave nicely and be a good girl than one day fairy will come and give me a wonderful gift and will be taking me to her fairy land.
It is said that if you lie for something good than the Almighty never punishes you for that lie.Like this my mom even lied to me, by creating an excitement in myself of meeting a fairy and to travel with her to the fairy land.That was the most beautiful lie ever in my life.
After reading the ''Allegory of Cave'' I made my mind to go beyond the boundaries of this shadow and to face the real truth i.e the sun.But sometimes it makes me scared to think about the reality.Because reality is always bitter for people to accept.

The Allegory of the Cave
The Allegory of the Cave is basically an imagined scenario narrated by Plato during his time.The main idea of this scenario is that what human beings thinks as reality in this world isn't the real truth.There is always a truth hidden in the shadows of walls.In this scenario some people are imagined to be chained up in such a way that they can't move their heads.They are seat to see a projector like a wall size.The shadows are so close that they take them as real.If one of the prisoner gets chance to get out from this chained world and is held to face the sunlight then, he will be thinking that this is the source of all the things.For the reflections, for the years to come and pass away.If this prisoner goes back to his fellow mates and describes what he saw, then they will be thinking him as crazy because for them the reality is with in the boundaries.

blog entry 04 hype workshop
In the passage of "Hype" by Kalle Lasn the message which she want to let us know is that- how advertisements are hampering people lives. The 21st century is crowded up with advertisements.From morning till night, we keep on noticing ads and distracting yourself.Its the human nature that whenever they see something new, they feel to get it and that's what are ads doing.The most great distract people of this ads are the kids.Whenever they see a new or exciting game they just want to get it no matter happens.After wasting the money in buying it they later find that it same like as the previous game they had or boring to play.
While driving on roads,taking a break on parks,eating in a restaurants, internet,every where we see ads.Human lives have become restless.There is no place where they can sit,relax and enjoy a small portion of this lives.Ads are just made by the companies for earning money and making their reputation higher in market.They aren't caring for the people.e.g the most desirable of all, i-phones are in great competition.With the mechanization advancement, the prices are getting higher and higher.When you get excited with the ads products and get it, later on you find out that its money consuming .You don't need it or you have it in you home by corner. These ads are getting bigger and bigger and spreading widely that its beyond our mind to make a guess for it.
Public attention creators are some how destroying public lives with its widely influence.They aren't giving people the space to think about, and to make a correct decision for themselves.They are just making human brains confuse and worthless.
