PLATO's MYTH OF THE CAVE....

Assalamualaikum..

Plato’s Myth of the cave???what is this??Have you ever heard about "Plato's Myth of the cave"?honestly, i’m never heard about it before.  Finally,, I got a chance to know and  learn about it when my lecturer, Sir Kamaraziz distribute a paper about the Plato's Myth of the cave..

So, what is “ Plato's Myth of the cave" all about??Plato’s Myth of the cave is an argument that we can't be sure that we know about the reality which this story illustrates Plato's idealism.  Plato’s idealism said that the objects that  we see, hear and touch are shadows of the real things. The reason is human beings don't have a full sense of a real and complete life because of the world itself or we can say because of the environment.

Besides, Plato describes to a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall where the people watch shadows that was  projected on the wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them, and begin to create the shadows. 

Here is my task for Plato's Myth of the Cave..

Choose a setting/reality that is similar to this story.
 ~ a broken family

These objects symbolizes:
 ~ the prisoners: the children
 ~the chains:rules that being set by the family

 ~the fire: other members in family
 ~the shadows and the images: belief and norms of family
 ~the puppet players: parents which  as the source of the family
 ~the old man: teacher

In the context which you have selected, why do you think that the prisoner still insist that the images which he has seen before are much more real than statues?
~ The children is only believe towards the puppet players which that the children believing that their parents is the best and love them very much and not believe others thing which is reality that happened in the family.

METAPHOR AND SIMILE!!

What is the meaning of metaphor and simile??at the first time i learn about it, for me both looks same but actually there is a differences.let me explain further about them.
Metaphor is the concept of understanding one thing in terms of another which it is a figure of speech that constructs an analogy between two things or ideas plus, the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word.
Meanwhile, the simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by using the words "like", "as", or "than".Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of comparison, similes indirectly compare the two ideas and allow them to remain distinct in spite of their similarities, whereas metaphors compare two things directly.

Here, the examples of metaphor:

Men's words are bullets, that their enemies take up and make use of against them."
(George Savile, Maxims)

"A man may break a word with you, sir, and words are but wind."
(Shakespeare, The Comedy of Errors)

 "The rain came down in long knitting needles."
(Enid Bagnold, National Velvet)

It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it.
You lose your love when you say the word "mine."

Now that you're gone I can see
That love is a garden if you let it go.
It fades away before you know,
And love is a garden--it needs help to grow.
(Jewel and Shaye Smith, "Love Is a Garden," 2008)

Love is a plant of the most tender kind,
That shrinks and shakes with every ruffling wind.

Love needs new leaves every summer of life, as much as your elm-trees, and new branches to grow broader and wider, and new flowers at the root to cover the ground.
(Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Chimney-Corner, 1868)

Love is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
(William Shakespeare, Sonnet 116, 1609)

Real love is a pilgrimage. It happens when there is no strategy, but it is very rare because most people are strategists.
(Anita Brookner, interview with Olga Kenyon, 1989)

Love is a truck, love is a wall.

 Love is the master key that unlocks the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and most easily of all, the gate of fear.
(Oliver Wendell Holmes, A Moral Antipathy, 1885)

Happiness is the china shop; love is the bull.
(H.L. Mencken, A Little Book in C Major, 1916)

Love is a beggar, most importunate,
Uncalled he comes and makes his dear demands.
(Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, "Love Is a Beggar," 1912)

Example of Simile

Sweet as odorous white lilies are

Sweet as a nut.

Sweet as a rose.

Sweet as a sugar plum.

Sweet as a vial of rose oil.

Kiss as sweet,
As cool fresh stream to bruised and weary feet.

Sweet as a honey bee.

Sweet as honeysuckle.

Sweet as sugar.

Sweet as the last smile of sunset.

Sweet and calm as is a sister's kiss

Life is like a hurricane

However, they are an interesting articles to be read and research because it opened my  mind to think out of the box.

MosT LikeLy To BE JACK THE RIPPER!!!

Who’s Jack The Ripper?????????

Did you know and heard about JACK THE RIPPER???Recently,my profession had changed be a detective where  i had study about who most and less likely Jack the Ripper. Truthly, it is hard for me to find about it because this case is never been solved untill nowadays. 

Now, back to the subject. Jack the Ripper is the one who is responsible towards the murders of female prostitutes in Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name of ‘Jack the Ripper’ was originated by a letter that being sent to the police by someone who are admit as Jack the Ripper.

So, who is the most likely Jack the Ripper??

In my opinion, the most likely Jack the Ripper is James Kelly. Who is James Kelly??He was born in Preston, Lancashire and the illegitimate son of 15 years old Sarah Kelly. He has a good skills when he deal with knife and work as an upholsterer plus, give advantage to him.

James Kelly also is one of the suspect as Jack the Ripper, and why i' m agreed that he is Jack the Ripper?This is because his ’s history shows that he killed his wife by stabbing her in the neck because he believes that his wife had passed on syphilis disease to him. Besides that, by the murdering his wife, it as symbolized that he have hatred towards women, especially prostitutes. This also can be prove when he write a journal that reveal of his strong disapproval of the immorality of prostitutes.

Other than that,  the time line of his disappearance after escaped from Broadmoor Asylum where he copy and make the key by himself, it does suit the time line of the murders.

but, did my opinion is true???

Is it true that he is the one that killed all the prostitutes??

The WoRST mOvIE eVER!!!

When i know that i will watch the worst movie ever, i felt excited because i want to know how worst that movie. The movie title is Plan 9 from Outer Space which this movie was directed by Edward D.Wood, Jr. The director, Mr Wood also been as the worst director ever in Golden Turkey Award in 1980 and with duration of 1 hour 15 minutes, this movie is be known as the worst movie ever in the history.

When i see this movie, no doubt that it is the worst science fiction/horror film that i ever see where this movies was about the alien from outer space trying to stop human from destroying the earth which then the universe will also destroyed. The alien used a plan that is plan 9 which alien live up the death people to scared other people in the earth. For me, the technical of this film is bad where we can see many mistake for example there are shadow of people which i think the film crew, the scene was at night then suddenly turn into day.

However, in my opinion, this movie is funny and have a good massages to the audience where people have to take care of their environment which i think Mr Wood predict what will happened in the future. He give a good lesson to the people that if we do not stop destroying the earth, the earth will not became a safe place anymore.  So, i think although this film was classified as worst ever movie, but i think it is worth to be watch.
