Eye of Hiroshima (Atomic bomb) by Oscarliima What makes you and I human? Is it because we behave in our society? That we live in our communities? Not killing each other for survival. What separates us from animals? What separates us from anything on this planet? What would happen if you stripped away what makes us human? What would happen if you stripped away our animalistic minds? What would happen if you stripped away our will to live? I sit in this little bunker. I'm laying in bed with a cigarette between my lips. The person who lays next to me reaches over for my cigarette.He wanted to share since we were running low on rations. I keep smoking away. I don't care about him. I didn't care about anyone anymore. Time was no longer with us anymore. We had been in this bunker for so long I couldn't say if it was day or night. We all slept till we woke and did what we wanted. At this moment I wanted to smoke and be left alone. I got out of bed put my clothes on and ...

The Confusion of Tongues by Gustave Doré  Pride is a terrible thing. We have all acted on our pride which has led to not so good places in our lives. Pride has led to the end of friendships, families, and people that we love to no longer be in our lives. Pride has also been expanded upon throughout histories such as the ego and narcissism. The painting above represents to tower of Babel, where the pride of people had the idea of trying to reach heaven. They didn't make it and instead, God made them all speak different languages making everyone babel...bummer. With my last post about gluttony, you the reader can see where I am going with my blog. Pride can be split into a good and bad. Someone with an inflated ego is bad, but someone with high self-esteem is good. See how this could be seen as the same person with two drastic perceptions? I can't vouch for every society, but where I am right now and the culture that I live in, pride has ruined a lot of people and I believ...

Gluttony by Jacques de l'Ange What a time to be alive. We have advanced so far in our society and we have made so much progress in our community. All the diseases we have cured, all the technologies we have created, and changes in the way we interact with the people in our lives everyday. I feel like this is the best time to be alive, but I feel with every great stride in the advancement of humanity we have new problems. We have overindulged in our what we see in our media these days. I want to bring up to big advancements to our society, one old and one new. The News Should we as a society know everything about everything? The media is always reporting from all over the world and keeping us updated, informed, in the know , about everything that is everything. Should we know everything though? I hear a lot of people discuss that they don't watch the news due to all the negativity that is reported. That the news may portray that nothing good is happening to the world...

To Sarah, I love you I'm sorry if this embarrasses you Once there was a little lady She was sweet and always steady She was not use to all this fame This little lady, Sarah was her name One day she had a hunger and her tummy grumbled She went to the fridge as she looked and fumbled Sadly, no food could be found  and poor little Sarah had a poor little frown Sarah was persistent in her way and would not give up and would go the extra feat  just so she could find something to eat. Sarah went outside and look for some food but she couldn't find anything good! She stumbled upon a tree  which made her smile with glee For this tree was small and acute but use to be full of fruit Sarah walked around the tree that use to have rome beauties but there were no more apples for this little cutie Sarah moved on to find something to take and then came across a slithery slimy snake. My goodness! said Sarah shocked and surprise...

Dragonfly Delight by Graffiti Paintbar  Five years! I can't believe that five years ago I was in the library just typing to whatever was on my mind to now having a blog with over 40,000 views! I must say that I have changed a lot over the past five years and as the years have gone by I take pride in what this blog has become to the readers. In this post I want to break down my other posts and what I was going through when writing them. This is somewhat over an overview on my blog, but I will hopefully be writing new posts in the near future.  Willy Wonka and other analytic pieces. My very first post (and 25,000 views) comes from comparing Willy Wonka's main characters and the seven deadly sins. I was discussing with a friend how both topics correlated to some degree, but since I could not find any concrete comparison online, I decided to make my own. Even though my post received lukewarm response to many of my friends, this post has the most views on the blog to...

( Melting Away by Brigitte Johnston) A couple of weeks ago, I shared an article about a woman requesting a sick day from her job due to her having to deal with some form of mental illness. The head of the company informed the worker that she was proud of the employee to being responsible for taking the day for her mental health. Overall, this was a good article and showed that people are starting to become more aware of mental health. When I shared this article on Facebook, a gentleman disagreed with the article and claimed that that as an employer, if someone requested a sick day related to their mental health that he would place them on vacation time until he found their replacement for the job. This thread on my post continued further into how employees are seen as just machines that when they don't work, the get replaced. This is not fundamentally appropriate to say someone with a physical illness is fired, yet to the person on my post believed that due to someone not be...

Welcome back. Before we begin this post contains major spoilers. This post is going to discuss the storytelling aspect and the message the show tries to send to the audience. Be sure to read pt.1 if you haven't seen it yet.  Pt 1. http://jacobgunter.blogspot.com/2017/04/my-analysis-on-13-reasons-why-pt1.html?view=classic The Story I feel that people didn't take the show as a tragedy. This is a form of the genre that I haven't seen in a while. We all love happy endings and I feel that sometimes we need to have a tragedy. Media is supposed to make use feel good and this show was supposed to pull us down to the reality of issues that we have every day. I think that this form of media is important to understand that we have more than just happy and that maybe we should go down those routes from time to time. I did not really think this was a tragedy until the scene between Hannah and Clay talking about the "what if" with her being with Clay. Sho...
