1984 by George Orwell
- Well I believe it is safe to say that this book has made me lose my trust with the government. This "Big Brother" fiasco has messed me up. I know avoid all routes that I know have a police car monitoring. I clear my history like crazy, and have stayed away from all politics because it quite frankly scares me. This book has really changed the way I think of society. It has also taught me that social psychology is a tool that powerful people use, and "Big Brother" is one of them. I can not wait to reread this book when I am older, and see how else I become paranoid with the world I live in.
FEED by M.T Anderson
- I could not say that this book changed my way of thinking. It wasn't a very influential book, but I absolutely love it. I think I like it because of the way it was written. It had a very quick, and easy story line that let you connect with the characters, but it also didn't drag on certain things. It got be aggravated, it made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me smile. Not to mention it was written so eloquently. It was written almost futuristically. The way M.T Anderson used words stayed did the futuristic time period such justice. I loved reading every word of it.
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
- Well, I think it is safe to say I absolutely loved this book, and its sequels. I read this book series over Christmas break and it was everything I needed to get back into reading. I was really overdue for another book series to read really fast, and this was exactly what I needed. This book being the first one in the series was quite slow, but man did it pick up the pace in the end, which set it for the rest of the books. I think I liked this book the most because I could connect the best with these characters. I saw aspects of myself in each character and it just hooked me in even more. I think what initially hooked me was when Miranda's friend was killing herself because of what the church was telling her to do. I have always had a problem with the way religion is interpreted by some people. When I saw that Pfeffer was challenging those same challenges I faced, I was instantly hooked. In the second book of the series, it is very interesting how she takes a whole new light on religion. I also just liked this book because my obsession with the Moon is a problem:)
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
- This book just hits me in so many different feels, I don't even know how to describe it. It mainly hit in my feminist feels. It just bothered me so much what they were subjecting women to. Healthy women at that as well. I think the worst part of it all was "The Ceremony". As a fellow writer, the entire idea of it, and how being a Handmaid works was simply genius. But as a ethical person, it is just wrong. The entire book was just beautifully wrong.
So, since I loved this book so much, I made it my mission to find the movie online. I did, but I wasn't able to watch it all. I did find some rather amazing information though. Aidan Quinn played the role of Nick. Now Nick was by far my favorite character in the entire book. He was so mysterious, and you could just tell that he was hiding something that would save the day in the end. He also cared so much for Offred, that he just made my heart warm. Then I saw who played him in the movie, and my heart just melted. I absolutely love Aidan Quinn in Practical Magic and in Legends of the Fall.
World War Z by Max Brooks
- Okay, I know that it seemed like I didn't like this book in class, but I actually really enjoyed it. I think I need to reread it, and fully enjoy it. It is just one of those books that I need a bit more time to read and fully appreciate everything this book has to offer. And man does it have a lot. It just covers so much globally! What I thought was most interesting was the Redeker Plan. It has so much to entertain ethically, that I want to explore it some more. I never thought that I would ever like a book with zombies!

Idiocracy: A Take on Modern Society
Dank… sick brah… suhhh dude… literally… streak… i can't even… broski… chollo… bfffls…
This is common lingo used in today's society. If you where a person that just came to the United States, I'm sure you would be quite confused with the everyday conversation of some people, especially from adolescence. This type of specialized lingo is utilized in the movie Idiocracy to portray a form of satire. This movie uses terms like fag, retarded, and has a very large emphasis on sex and money. The use of these words are somewhat similar to what we do today with words like nigga, and beaner. Also, the obsession of sex and money are just exaggerations on what today's society obsessed with.
What this movie did was it took a sort of serious topic of todays society, and used satire to show its obscurity. It dumbed people down because stupidity is funny for the intelligent. It made derogatory words common to show that we use them often in society, and then made them funny. It took sex and made it a very big topic for that society. People laugh at sex, but they also are always drawn to it. Have you ever heard the term that sex sells… Well yeah, it does, especially in this movie. Also, money all everyone wants in this movie. That seem's to be the the case in todays society as well.
With all of these similarities between today and the movie, I can only hope that we do not fully evolve into the people of Idiocracy. If so, I really do hope I am not around for that time. I don't think I would be able to sit and watch my society crumble the way it did.
(I hope you enjoy yet another parallel between today and Idiocracy)

Population Shortage vs. Overpopulation
Imagine a world where the sound of children playing is no longer at every corner. Where the happy family with a husband, wife, and two kids no longer exists. Where women can no longer produce children. Where the idea of a happy, healthy family is gone. This is the world that Margaret Atwood has developed in the book, The Handmaid's Tale. This story follows a woman who happens to be a "handmaid", which is a woman who's job is to produce children. They are assigned to certain households where they are made to have the child, and then give it to the woman of the house to raise it. This handmaid will never have a family, never have a husband, will never know a loving touch in her entire life. The question is, why are women subjected to such a position? Why is this happening?
The book doesn't give much information on the topic, but from what is given we know that there are toxins in the air that have polluted women's bodies. Thus, a fetus does not have the nutrients to grow into a fully functioning child. Only a certain amount of women have the ability to have children, and they are placed as handmaids.
A handmaids job is to make sure the sound of children playing at every corner comes back, and that the sight of a happy family of four is once again attainable. Their job is to repopulate in a world where they have lost so many lives.
The opposite seems to be happening in the world today. Today we find ourselves facing overpopulation. Especially in countries like China, Mexico, and Brazil. Overpopulation has presented itself with it's own set of problems; food shortages, human suffering, collapses in global diversity, and space shortages. In today's society, the sound of children on every corner is heard everyday, all day. That happy family of four is actually a happy family of eight. We may not have a sustaining humanity problem like presented in The Handmaid's Tale, but the other problems presented could lead just to that. With food shortages, and human suffering, the death tole will increase. With the collapse in global diversity, we lose certain animals that are essential to our ecosystem. With space shortages, disease and bacteria is more likely to spread. We may not be dealing with population shortages, but with the way we are dealing with overpopulation, we may lead ourselves straight to being handmaids.

Children of Men- A Story of Theo Faron
Theo Faron. From the beginning, he is just a man that has been through too much; a revolution, death of his child, separation of a family. Sadness, depression, and loss surrounds his life making him seem like the last person on earth who would end up doing the right thing. He is lost and confused in his crumbling life, only finding drugs and alcohol as a way to cope with it all. But some how, in the twisted world that he lives in where everything goes wrong, he found a right. The question is, when did he find this "right"? When did he realize what he needed to do in his life to make everything all good again?
"Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it last." -Julian Taylor (Children of Men).
Theo realized what he should do when he was told that he would die. Yes, his own wife told him so, but it was then that he was finally becoming alive. When he was told that his ear cells are dying, it was really just himself that was, so why not "Enjoy it while it last"? It was the sounds of his wife's words that woke him up, and showed him life again. It was the words of his wife that he continued on, because as Jasper was saying, they are like yin and yang. They are opposites, but they draw to one another. Julian lived through Theo and that is why he was to die in the end. One can not live while the other does not.

Feed the Starving Children
The stale air, part ash part oxygen had a crisp feel to it. Its freezing temperature seemed to have imbedded into his bones. The layers of clothing on his back felt coarse on his paper thin skin. Everything that touched his body was uncomfortable and hurt, but there was no escaping it. He sat on the mattress with his sister, who shivered under her sheets. A painful churning errupted in his stomach. The knot of pain felt was a familiar pain. It is the pain of starvation. He felt as if he could scream, but the energy to has been long gone. In an attempt to make the pain go away, he shuffled himself up to warm up some snow water. It may not be food, but it is something to fill his stomach with. Standing caused a million aches and pain to resurface themselves throughout his body. His energy slowly escaping him. A fog of black seemed to close in on him as he reached for the water. A vision of black, and the calling of his name are the last things to happen. His name, his name was "Johnny".
This, this event which is completely fictional is what could have happened if Johnny was not given extra food in the Life As We Knew It book. A debate that we had in class was why was Johnny given more food than the others, and why did the mother make this executive decision? Being the oldest of my three sibling, I would gladly give my younger brother more food over myself, but for others this was not the case. Because of this, I would like to give you a visual of what would have happened to Johnny if he was starved even more so than his older siblings…
Yes, little Johnny would have not been able to grow correctly, and would of been the first to die if this were so. His mother made sure he ate more because she was trying to make sure all of her children survived. She was not picking favorites, or deciding who was more worthy of eating food. She knew that her older children were able to survive with less food, but Johnny was not. Him being younger, makes him weaker, and more likely to die of starvation.
Unfortunately child starvation doesn't just happen in this fictional book. It actually happens in todays society, and more so in third world countries such as Africa. It may not be prevalent in America, but throughout the world it is so. A company that is trying to aid this terrible problem is "Feed My Starving Children". Their goal is to solve child starvation by providing food for the body and mind in these third world countries.
Now I know that America is not a third world country in the book, because this is happening to the entire world, but the same thing that is happening to Johnny is happening to another child on the other side of the world. The only difference could be that Johnny has a mother, and the other may not.

Resist The FEED
To be perfectly honest, I am not okay with a device in my brain that causes lesions, and that has the potential to kill me if it breaks. If this device was outside of my body, then I see no reason to resist it. It does what I want. It shows me what I love, and it does so without hurting me. If anything, it is helping me identify who I am. In psychology, it is stated that Identification is the hardest development curve for adolescence. So, the FEED that doesn't effect my body, YES, I am all for that. The FEED in my brain, yeah no. Not happening! EVER!
FEED Model 2016 S
Description: This girl loves three things in this world: Animals, Books, and Ballet.
Her love for animals enhanced when she became a Vegan. It was then that she decided that her goal in life is to save as many animals as she can. She hopes to foster pregnant Cats or any cats needed, own two cats, two dogs, and a Tiger/Lion.
Her love for Ballet started at a very young age, and has only grown. She hopes to become a professional ballet dancer with the Royal Opera Ballet in London, England. Her favorite ballerina's being Marianela Nunez (The Royal Opera Ballet), Alina Cojacaru (The Royal Opera Ballet), and Svetlana Zakharova (The Bolshoi Ballet). Her favorite ballets being Giselle, Don Quixote, Swan Lake, and Romeo and Juliet. She is currently obsessed with watching the Balcony Pas de Deux from Romeo and Juliet.
Likes:
- Ballerina's (on and off stage).
-Dance wear (warm-ups/leotards/tutu's)
-Books (at a cheep price:) )
-Animals for sale/ Foster families
- Music (classical is my favorite/Twenty-One Pilots)
Dislikes:
- Food Posts
- Spoilers
- Not being able to go to my favorite ballet
- Deep/Emotional Posts
Marketing Strategies:
1. Show her a kitten wearing a tutu and she is sold!
2. Any pretty picture of a professional ballerina doing something and she will love it. Especially if it is Marianela Nunez.
3. Use funny book puns. Her ability to apply Harry Potter to every aspect of her life is quite impressive. Have fun topping it.
4. Advertise every single performance opportunity of her favorite Companies. Give her cheep deals, and appealing times.
Ideal Product:
iProvide- this app allows one to search whatever they want, and it provides it for you. If you want to search Svetlana Zakharova's Giselle Second Act, it will provide. If you want to search Cute Pictures of Kittens in Tutu's, it will provide. If you want to re-read the Harry Potter Series, it will…..provide.
Just for fun (you probably wont watch it, or if you do, you wont finish it), here is a link to Svetlana Zakharova's Giselle Second Act……it makes me cry…every time.

"1984" story by Truman
Government. Such an interesting noun. It has so many different forms. It can control you, it can liberate you. It can help you, it can hinder you. In the worlds of 1984 and The Truman Show, the government believes that they are helping, but they are actually causing harm.
In 1984 by George Orwell, the government singles in on Winston Smith's life. They watch every step that Winston takes. They manipulate every move he makes. He is under a constant watch by the government. Even the people that enter Winston's life were put there by the government. Nothing that happened in Winston's life was made by his own moves. The government made them for him.
In The Truman Show, a movie with Jim Carrey, the government singles in on Truman's life. His life is literally shown on television. Every move that Truman makes is manipulated by the government. Even the people that are in Truman's life are put there by the government. Nothing happens in Truman's life that is his own. The government made his life for him. The government made his world.

Cell Phones or Telescreens
I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was my cell phone. My alarm went off, and then I proceeded to do my morning ritual. I go to the list of notifications and start clearing away the ones I don't need to worry about. Then I start from the top. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter...etc... My cell phone knows everything about me. It knows when I get up, what my favorite apps are, who my favorite contacts are. Not to mention that it is with me twenty for seven. I am never not with my phone. It could have a hidden camera showing some random person what I do with my life daily.
Sounds like a telescreen to me.
Winston Smith woke up this morning and the first thing that saw him was his telescreen. The alarm went off and then he proceeded to do his morning ritual. He got his feet out from under his bed and slowly got himself up. He started from the top and worked his way down. He worked on stretching his back and mobilizing himself with the help of his telescreen. His telescreen know everything about him. It knows when he gets up, what his favorite music is, and who his favorite person is (Big Brother). Not to mention that there is a telescreen wherever Winston goes, He is never not around a telescreen. It is like having a hidden camera showing some random person what you do with your life daily.

2+2=5
2+2=4
We have been told this since the age five, maybe even younger. It is a fact. If you hold up two fingers and then add two more you then have four fingers. If you go to the bakery with two cookies and leave with two more, you have four cookies. This fact can be expressed in every way possible. It will never change. Then why question it if there can be no other answer?
Imagine you are a fly. You are a very small organism living in a very large one. The large one controls your surroundings. The sun rises in the mornings and sets in the evening. When it rains, you are wet, and when it snows you are cold. These things never change, but how do you know this? How do you know that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening? How do you know that rain makes you wet? You know these events occur because the larger party tells you they do.
So ask yourself, how do you know two and two equal four. Why not five? Imagine being told that the answer to 2+2=5 when you were young. It has been engraved into your head that this is the answer no matter what. Isn't that the same as being told the answer is four?
Now imagine you are the fly again, but now the larger party tells you that the sun rises in the evening and sets in the morning. They have told you this since you where born. They have enforced this information into your brain. Do you actually believe that these events are true? Does the sun really rise in the evening and set in the morning? I am sorry to say but, that answer is up to you. It is up to you to figure out what your freedoms are. What your liberties are. All I can say is that "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows."(Orwell p.81).

Sorry Diana Moon Glombers
To be completely honest, I would have a LOT of handicaps if I lived in the futuristic time that was formed by Kurt Vonnegut. I am not saying this meaning that I am superior to others, because I believe that everyone has special qualities that make them unique. What I am saying is that, being a ballerina, just like the dancers in the story, I would have a lot of handicaps. Now, I am not the best ballerina in the world, and I sure am not the best ballerina in the state, but I do aspire to be one. Thus, being said, I do have some capabilities that set me aside from others. There are three major physical components of ballet; jumping, spinning, and flexibility. Out of the three, jumping and flexibility are my strong suits. These are the movements I rely on most to bring attention to myself when dancing. A dancer at a young age learns to play on their strengths. But in the world of Harrison Bergeron, expressing these strengths is considered illegal and they must be suppressed.
To suppress my ability to jump high I would most likely have very heavy ankle weights, and weights on my shoulders to hold me down. To ensure I that I can not lift my legs high is a little more difficult to suppress. All of the dancers in the film adaptation of the story didn't seem to have any flexibility constraints, but I would image it wouldn't be a visible constraint. A tutu is already a very constricting item, and dancing in one that is too small for you defiantly makes flexibility a hard task (trust me, I know).
Of course there are other components to ballet, like facial expressions, and hearing the music, but to be a dancer those things must be equally developed
. So, I would believe that all dances would wear face masks and have sound warping hearing devices. This way, all dancers are already at an even playing field.
Now that I have identified what my constraints would be, I must tell you I would never wear them. If the law is to suppress my ability to do what I love to the fullest, then I would not listen to that law. No human should not be able to do what they love. Even if that person is not good at it, they should still be able to do it. Maybe not for a profession, but just for the enjoyment of being able to do what you love. If I lived in that society I would dance no matter what, and if I died dancing like the ballerina did in the story, then so be it. At least I was able to live my life to the fullest through my love of dance rather than hiding behind my handicaps.

Utopia - The Stefanee Montesantos Way (more-or-less)
When posed with the question of what my personal Utopia would be like I drew a complete blank. That awful moment when you are forced to think of everything that bothers you in the world and nothing comes up happened, and man did it make this post aggravating. After searching for quite some time through the great abyss of nothing that is my brian I finally found the problem. I was searching in a world that I do not want to live in. I then asked myself, "What world would you like to live in then?", and the answer seemed almost obvious; The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now before you tell me I simply can not exist in a world that existed in my head, I would like to share a wonderful quote from a very wise old man; "Of course it is happening in [my] head,…, but why on earth should that mean it is not real" (Albus Dumbledore, JK Rowling).
Hopefully by now you have accepted that The Wizarding World is real or you would have stopped reading. If you have decided to keep on going you are probably wondering how this world would be a Utopia at all? With dark wizards all around like The Death Eaters and Voldemort, and then Werewolves Vampires, Ghosts, Trolls, Giants…etc…The Wizarding World is far from a perfect world, but what I am talking about it much different. When I mean The Wizarding World, I mean the current one, with Hermione as the Minister of Magic, Harry as the lead Auror, Ron and George running Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and Ginny as the Senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. Now, that's a Utopia. Oh, and don't forget Neville as the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts and Malfoy finally believing Mudbloods are not scum!
Now, I know that to the muggle that you are none of what is listed above seem's at all beneficial. Then let me put it in perspective. The world that Harry grew up in was a world with mass manipulation of the Daily Prophet and extreme prejudices in regards to Muggles/ Mudbloods. Just imagine the Daily Prophet being our social media, and the Muggles/Mudbloods being the blacks/homosexuals/asians(etc). Yes, it took a war with many casualties for that to change in The Wizarding Word, but they still changed it. Now even the snobby, stuck up, pure-blood Malfoy's believe that Muggles and Mudbloods are just the same as everyone else. Now the media is controlled by the smart hands of Ginny Potter and Hermione Weasley, and crime is settled by Harry Potter himself. Now, tell me, if we had smart people in the position to run the society that we currently live in, why wouldn't our world be a Utopia? But, since we do not, I would rather go live in The Wizarding World. All I need are Tonks, Lupin, and Fred to come back and then it truly would be the best place on earth.

Hopefully by now you have accepted that The Wizarding World is real or you would have stopped reading. If you have decided to keep on going you are probably wondering how this world would be a Utopia at all? With dark wizards all around like The Death Eaters and Voldemort, and then Werewolves Vampires, Ghosts, Trolls, Giants…etc…The Wizarding World is far from a perfect world, but what I am talking about it much different. When I mean The Wizarding World, I mean the current one, with Hermione as the Minister of Magic, Harry as the lead Auror, Ron and George running Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, and Ginny as the Senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. Now, that's a Utopia. Oh, and don't forget Neville as the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts and Malfoy finally believing Mudbloods are not scum!
Now, I know that to the muggle that you are none of what is listed above seem's at all beneficial. Then let me put it in perspective. The world that Harry grew up in was a world with mass manipulation of the Daily Prophet and extreme prejudices in regards to Muggles/ Mudbloods. Just imagine the Daily Prophet being our social media, and the Muggles/Mudbloods being the blacks/homosexuals/asians(etc). Yes, it took a war with many casualties for that to change in The Wizarding Word, but they still changed it. Now even the snobby, stuck up, pure-blood Malfoy's believe that Muggles and Mudbloods are just the same as everyone else. Now the media is controlled by the smart hands of Ginny Potter and Hermione Weasley, and crime is settled by Harry Potter himself. Now, tell me, if we had smart people in the position to run the society that we currently live in, why wouldn't our world be a Utopia? But, since we do not, I would rather go live in The Wizarding World. All I need are Tonks, Lupin, and Fred to come back and then it truly would be the best place on earth.
