In the face of Death

I thought that the Tom Dudly wasn't justified for killing the man as well as thr locomotive also not being justified. But I thought that Dr. Adina badly was justified in wha't he did. The two that I thought were not justified seemed very selfcentered which made it in my opinion wrong. but Dr. Adina Badly was more of an act of compassion not self centered greed. Though I think that the locomotive and Tom weren't justified in the end I would think that I would end up making the same decision as both of them, because of the complicity of having to choose between two lives. So therefore I won't judge them as bad people, but not only because judging people is wrong, but also because I dpn't think i could say that i would do something different.

Do Now Expansion #107

Think of another example of knowledge for our incomplete knowledge.

What if I wasn't actually born in Michigan there is no way of actually knowing that I was born in Michigan because I can't remember being born, my memory doesn't go back that far. My birth certificate could just be a lie that was written by someone to trick me. In fact I might have even been born in the United States. I might actually be a Mexican that just moved to America when I was very young and spent the majority of my life there. Or maybe I am American but I was adopted as an orphan by my parents at a very early age and they just havent told me yet that im not really their child by bolld, they have just been keeping the secret very good and making me believe it for my whole life, hoping that i wouldnt realize the obvious.

The Truman Show

Three thins that stand out in the Truman Show that are a little weird are firstly that he doesnt know that he is in a world of fantacies and that what he sees as life is not actually reality. Secondly that eventhough everyoe does the same thing everyday it takes him almost his whole life to notice that it is a bit strange. And lastly that almost everyone  was successful in keeping the secret to him. Eventually I think that Truman will escape the set on a search for the mysterious girl that he truly loves leaving behind the world that is fake and juping into reality. He will realize what the real world is really like and he will be able to experience things in a different way, and overall i thik he will like reality better than the old virtual world he used to live in.
