This class taught me a lot of interesting stuff I never paid attention to. Even blogging, I never used this website before, anyway good to know. Another example of the things I have learned is about Symbols and Archetypes. Watching movies I never pay attention to symbols that appear or archetypes that emerge. Basically never even knew the first thing about looking for Archetypes and symbols in a movie, painting or reading a book. I never understand how people to museum an look at paintings. I probably never gave a painter that much respect, well the knowledge I gain from this class learning how to depict paintings, movies, and book, using symbols and archetypes, gave me a new found respect for these talented people. I might just go to an art gallery the next time I get invited.
Secondly, I was kinder illiterate using the computer and now I know how to search and link my project to the website I am interesting in. Simple as finding a picture on a website and adding it to my work, I now know how to do it. I am very happy I choose this class. This also open my mind to a lot of different topic of the super natural and how the other student view things. Great interaction and working with teammates was an brilliant idea.
I found Benjamin project to be very interested. He made a film like other classmate, but his grab my attention because I was basically fooled. Reason being, at the beginning of his film, the sound track music he made, create a spooky feeling to me, I thought with the dramatic sound effect it would be a short scary film, but it was just about machine that recorded the voices of dead. It was funny to me, how he trick me into watching it by his creative choice of sound track. This interest me to wanting to do it too. Benjamin done a great job, grabbing my attention with something I would be least interested in.
Overall this class was very much a learning experience for me and at the same time it was fun. My thought of thinking is usually on the surface level, but this class having me thinking out the box and more on a deeper level.

Blog Entry 4.1
After watching this movie three time. I realize that I gave myself a lot of work. The movie is 3hours long and each clip I found on youtube about Samson and Delilah is between 8-10min long. No crap! I have to watch at least 10 movie clip, again and again which is 8min long each, finding symbols and archetypes. Well, dag I go a lot of work cut out for myself. Not to mention that I have to research the movie itself and get information on director of the movie. Which I did already but trust me. It not easy to break down a 3hour movie. Oh well at least I challenge myself. Lots of reading and writing I have to do. Hopefully I break it down where it makes sense. Again TEN 8min clips but I will chose 5or 6 of those. Nevertheless, I will do great!
Blog Entry 3.5 Coraline
Many of us have our own definition us have our own definition and opinions on what or who is consider an hero. But do we really understand the true meaning of what a hero or heroin is?
Well, In my opinion an hero or heroin is is someone who is selfless, brave and who would sacrifice their own lives to save others. For example and hero could be someone mother or fathers', not necessary strangers. Depending on how good of a parent he or she is.
In the book, "The Hero with a thousand faces", the author Joseph Campbell elements of a hero's journey states, "a hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of super natural wonder". He also went on to say, " the hero come back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boon on his fellow. This statement is perfect in contrast to the adventurous character name Coraline from the book "Coraline". For example the Author Neil Gainman, portray and tell the story of an adventurous little girl name Coraline, who he consider to be brave, mysterious, curious, courageous, fearless, and enjoys exploring.
I depict this book were I came to the judgement that Coraline has an warrior, super hero personality. When Caroline and her parent's move in to the new house, Caroline came upon a mysterious door where she drawn quite a curious feeling about. she then went on to question her mother about the door and got the answer that, the door led to know where but brick wall. In young Coraline curious mind, she had an suspicious feeling about the door. Anyway, Coraline was less interested to be around her parents and wanted more of what consider better parents. They were the type of mother and father who seems to have no quality time for their daughter, but more time consume with their work. Her mother never cooks and her dad tries, but Coraline consider his food and way of cooking to be disgusting. All this add up to where Coraline wishes she had new parents.
In comparison to the author Joseph Campbell, that one of his element of an hero is adventure. This is where author Neil Gaiman comes in and show Coraline adventurous side, where one night the door she was so curious about magically open and without a fearless thought she went through to explore. On the other side of that door she came up on a woman that looks just like her mother and a man who looks like her father. Nevertheless, they were both calling Coraline their daughter and telling her that they were her Other parents. Shortly there after, Coraline began to adjust because the love and attention they were giving her, unfortunately, her real parents wasn't. The food was delicious and well done, all Coraline ever wanted. Coraline knew she had to go home, because in reality she never really wanted new parent, just wanted more love and attention from the real ones.
Coraline other parent other parents did everything great to convince her to stay because the other mother claim she belongs with them. The other mother had other motive for Coraline, she wanted to take Coraline's Soul. Coraline swiftly realize the other mother's plan and escape back through the door. Back at her real home, she found the house empty and her mother and father were no where to be founded. In order to allure Coraline to the other world, the other mother kidnapped Coraline's parents. Realizing that her parents was missing, Coraline made a heroin selfless decision and went back to the other world to save her parents from the evil mother.
Coraline's character is consider a hero because even though she was scared, she went back to face the and showed how brave she were by demanding that the other mother release her parents. With that said, releasing her parents would come that easy, so Coraline had to basically bargin her soul for the release of her parents. Coraline took the risk of sacrificing her soul to save her parents. The deal didnt came easy but that did not stop Coraline, she took the challenge, figure out difficult clues by using monument she have gotten for friends.
Coraline solve the mysterious mystery of her lost parents and at the same time solve and release other lost souls that the evil other mother stole. After all, she got to keep her soul and save her parents. Fabulous forces was encounter and a decisive victory was won. These are elements of a an hero, and Coraline proves she came back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boon on her fellow friends (Joseph Campbell).
Hero's come in different shapes, color and size. With that said there is a little in all of us.
