When Morpheus gave Neo a choice of two pills. The red pill would bring Neo out of the Matrix and learn new things about the reality and how dysfunctional life really is. It would give him the answers that he wanted out of reality. Answers that would free his mind of the dream of the Matrix. Then Neo was offered a blue pill; that would keep him in the Matrix. He could live in the same world and not know about reality. Just living life day to day not knowing that there is a whole other world. As Cipher said it perfectly… “ Ignorance is bliss”.
Morpheus is in the film is very similar to Morpheus: The Greek God of Dreams. The God of Dreams was in charge of two rivers. One river was named the River of Forgetfulness, which was the blue pill for Neo to forget about the Matrix and live in the illusion of life. Or swim in the River of Oblivion, which would be the red pill and Neo could enter the painful world of reality. In the world we live in today, we do have a choice in a sense. We are each given a path in life ever since birth. We are all destined for some type of greatness. We make the choice of following the path we are given or going into a downward spiral.
Your essay isn't as bad as you just whisper-yelled to me across the room lol
ReplyDeleteWhat I feel you need to work on is your use of commas. There are a lot of fragments in your essay that could be solved with those.
For your intro, i was having a little bit of trouble figuring out what your thesis statement is, until i read your whole essay and figured out it was mostly about Morpheus. I would switch around the 2nd and 3rd body paragraph.
That 2nd body paragraph needs a stronger topic sentence.
I like your writing style, but I do believe that you need to work on your grammar for this. I learned a lot about the greek god of dreams today :)
Your introduction definitely had me wanting to read more and was a good way to start out. your body paragraph was gud but I felt like there was another body paragraph missing u kno. Choice of wording your body paragragh was good, I understood what was going on and what u were lettin me as a reader know about the film. Your last paragragh was kind of confusing because I didnt kno if it was the conclusion paragracgh or another body paragragh.
