Grizzly man



This is a documentary film by Werner Herzog and it is about a bear fan Timothy Treadwell.
In the film, you could see many clips starred by Timothy. From Timothy's analysis in this movie, I see the many aspect of Timothy Treadwell.
I personally think this film have two side of argument. One side is saying that he is innocent because he try to protect grizzly bear and try to contact with them. Another side is saying that he is interrupt grizzly bears' habitat. In my mind, I do not want to set which side am I on because I think he is both good and bad. Another reason that I do not want to criticize or go for him is because I could not tell Timothy is good or bad by just watching a film about him. In the film there was only people's bias about him. Connect this to current world, this is similar to news. Many thing on news is prepared by the news reporter and the people in company and it usually bias . Sometimes by just watching a small amount of news. You could not tell the truth.
I found something interesting and it was related to the film. In Tyler and Roanne's discussion, we have discussed through an idea. People who stress by the life usually wanted to interact with animals. I found Timothy Treadwell could be an good example of the idea. In the film, it showed Timothy had a rough life after he got out from high school and he been through drugs and alcoholism. However, his mind is not dead, so he decide to quite his life and start contact with wild nature.

The Voice

I think if to summarize and to question is first and second important thing when you read. The voice is the third. The reason is if you do not know the voice you cannot understand what the is the moral behind the story. Language are free and could be many forms. Irony, sarcastic, comedy.
I read the gift and tough teacher
for myself look for the voice, I look for the opinion the author have .

Arctic tale- my thoght



I first thought that this film was professional and safely done but after I saw the little film was showing when the movie end. I felt really impressed by those people.
In the film you could see the global warming effect. It is interesting that I thought something after a discussion from SRC about speaking English.
I think protecting this world is similar to the problem of speaking English. From my perspective what happen now, is
everyone do not know how serious the problem is and what is the problem. I think every modern industrialized country people know global warming and this is relate to the speaking English problem, everyone know we should not speak the language that is not in English but we still do. Same as global warming educations and laws is not enough. I think we should take it more serious. In order to change this world is to make everyone on earth think this is an urgent. To those who do know what is the problem, I think we should seriously educate them. How should we educate them ? I think to make it serious , clear and forceful. Every country's government and environmental organization should work together and make some policy or rule that could change every person's life.

Jane Goodall


I really agree with what Jane Goodall said in the TED talk speech. We are actually the same as those animals we saw. It is related to an idea from Ishmael: “This world is not our world.”The phrase “our world ” is not true or false; it is only an idea that humans believe without proof. This world does not belong to any specific creature; the world cannot lose any kind of creature. Those poor and native people used natural tools to get food. They are similar to chimpanzees; chimpanzees have nine different tools to get food. From what Jane Goodall said, the difference between humans and chimpanzees is humans have language and culture, but this will not separate the “class level” of humans and chimpanzees. Goodall argued that native and poor people have no idea what happens in the world because all they do is try to survive.


An example from speech, those people in the forest cut down the trees in forest though that many pressure from foreign country, all they want is to get money and try live a day. From Phil Borges these are endangered culture. Us, who had modern education and lived in modern world, we have responsibility to tell them and help them because we made the mess. This world is all interconnections, If only the modernized people do it. The mess will still going on continuously. This is the area that we need to work on. Today, is not only how convenience is the technologies, is how “good” the technologies are. From the film Wal-Mart, what we do is not just try to get the lowest price product. We should get a good product, which means the product of the company will protect the workers. Things we do will have the consequences. For example Wal-mart gets the consequences of doing those un-man kind things. The consequences of doing these factory and company is Mother Nature will fight back. Global warming, deceases…etc are the consequence. From what the blog comment I wrote in EO Wilson said, this world people are blind fold themselves. All this consequences happening in the world is not happened separately, we should have a “global mind” think broadly.

God must be crazy


I watch the movie before. I do not know why this film is funny. This time I watch the whole thing; last time was only a part. I think the film is pretty sad. The reason for that is we are attack by our captivity. The bushman represent human without bushman captivity. The man who suits the bushman is represent modern captivity man. Creature on this world is captive. I think that the point now is being biggest taker in this world. How? Will I think is that now what we are doing is like a massive and slow suicide. We keep on have desire to get more thing to get better. There is always pursuit of happiness but we never satisfied because we only thinking in our culture and in our ways. We do not usually think what is out there and what happen in this planet. In 10th grade our school learnt what happen about global warming so I did a research on it and saw a sad comment on Internet. It said, “There is no global warming here!!” When I saw this, I was shocked. I thought the first time I saw global warming is on textbook but why some people will be so unshaped and so irrelevant to global situation. The first thing I said after the movie was “This is sad and sarcastic.” This movie is so realistic that it makes almost cried. It is describes our culture really well. War, love, argue, survive, law, culture is the most common thing in our life and is the reason we are captivity. Maybe human should change how we think the world and how we view as us. It sounds like in Ishmael. Ishmael was teaching this world is not for anyone and anything. The earth is always being there for us if we think.

summary and reading

A new way. That could improve your quality of reading stuff. Usually, when I read a Shakespeare play I well get a reading guide and my summary to summarize the play. In the play many thing are happening and it is complicated when things happen when many character appeared. If this happened, you should have this skill because this strategy have both review and analyzation. when you try to summarize you will try to think back what you have read and think what happen inside. After you summarize you will have a image in your head that tells you about the book, so that you can dig deep into the book easier.
