Reflecting back on my own writing process I would have to say that it was a on and off for me. what I mean by that is sometimes I get in the mood to write and then there are time where i just don't want to write at all. After reading everyone Else's blog i would have to say that everyone have done a very good job. While doing the research for our midterm overall everyone did a pretty good job. I think the number one problem for some people when comes to writing is trying to start it. it is hard to come up with an idea out of nowhere. starting is the most difficult task to do while researching. when you have an idea for one thing another one pops up and then you go on wanting to start that new topic you just thought of. I am not saying that you will never get around to finishing your project i think it is just very difficult to start, but eventually you will get through it. my writing needs a lot of work. I have organizational problems and of course grammar. I realize that when I continue to write all the time and make it a habit then I will improve little by little. I have to try to write everyday that is my solution.

I am not sure what exactly he was tring to explain, did not really get it. this is my summary of what i think he ws trying to explain.Boundaries- Is something that makes the limit of something else. The expalins the difference in boundaries that have reasons behind it. for example your skin. their is a limit to your skin from the sun or any harm that can be done without protection. he also uses the jail and sending the prisoners to another country like austrailia. and excluded them form their natural state or enviroment. the point is distance them away. Connections is what connects us to society and everything we go through or see everyday in our lives. we depend on a lot of thins to help connect and I think we depend on it to much. Network is defined as something that causes chaos in our country, network is the basic function of what this country stands for. prisoners, power, oil, gas, aliens etc. Clocks everything is timed and fixes. and the history of time and time has advanced. bsaically he is trying to explain the changes of how we function and it may lead us into danger or obsession and we would not know to function without it. computer and how we communicate is something that is going to pay a serious toll later in life.

Essay 3.2 Rewrite

Option 1 Metaphysics

In order to understand the whole concept of source and ontological status in the study of the metaphysics, you have to define what exactly it is. what you start off defining what are sources? something that has the definition behind it or is the meaning of everything. It is define as something that makes everything real. sources have to be reliable and real. if its not good enough then the source is not good to use. ontogical is just the way things exist in the world. how do we know if it exist or is it real. well the type of source to look at is if it has a language. we need to know or to understand the source and connect with it. what make this source real is that it has things it uses to make it real. knowing what makes it real is another solution. knowlege makes us defined wiether or not it is real. another soulton wold be our senses to make it believeable. we need to be able to smell, hear, taste, touch and see. we uses our senses to tell either something is real or not. our senses help defined what things are.
For, examples the sources in the matrix are the people living their in the city of zion. you know humans come from their parents. but, that is all we know. when can't really say if it is real or not. because in the matrix they had a field of human created and nourish by the machines. we just know about the city of zion. matirx is not consider the real world it is defined as stated in the book that (61) what ever the unltimate causes are for the things which we can categories under real, they don't have nothing to do with the causes responsible for creating the unreal world of the matrix. we can only define what i actually real within the matrix is that the mattrix is controlled by a computerized machine that controls everything in the matrix. the ontological status to determined the unreal and the real is that it is to understand how things work or function. How everything all comes together. In the book Garcia and snaford explains that the matrix depends on things in oder for it to exist. the unreal depends on things in the unreal world. the machines are the sources for the matrix. this is what makes the matrix real and without the machines the matrix would not have an existence. Garcia and Sanford stated how the characters can distinguish the difference because they obtain this knowledge because someone taught them the difference. their was once a man who the matrix for what it is and was able to excape and spread his knowledge just like in plato's cave. he was able to spread his teaching on the rel and the unreal.
In conclusion I completely agree with the metaphysics status of the matrix and how Garcia and Sanford explained the source and the ontological status as well. it is just the knowledge of knowing of what is real and what is not real.

For my final project, I think I am going to do a youtube blog about something. I don't really know yet but I am going to think of something. I was thinking maybe adult cartoon like family guy, the boondocks, king of the hill or maybe something with anime in it. I might do a video or something. I have Imovie on my computer so I think it would be a good start. I am not sure what exactly am i going to do first.

My reflection on midterm paper and PowerPoint presentation was okay in a way were it was good but, I could of done better. My topic was Coco Chanel and her iconic status. I've decided to research what made Coco Chanel Iconic. well, of course her clothes, but I knew it had to be something more. I planned out how I was going to write my paper, start off with a mini biography of her life and how she got started and continue on talking about her motives and inspirations. General information about what she did and how she accomplished it. Her turning point during her time. look at and compared her collection then and now. look at Chanel line today and what she improve and what she added.
My PowerPoint presentation was going to be a guideline to the paper. I did not pay much attention to the PowerPoint. I directed my attention more towards the paper because I don't really write good or whenever I write a paper I become to lazy look back for mistakes. and really hate proof reading. I got kind of a writer block. I did not really focus much on what I should have been doing. I though I could have done better, because I admit that I procrastinate and waited to the last minute to finish. I have learned my lesson and make sure I try my best to be a little more organized. I should not procrastinate.
