Blade Runner Scene

Blade Runner the movie is not a very entertaining movie to watch. It had to many bad scenes that makes the audience dislike the movie. The very first scene in the movie is a good example. An agent is asking Leon if he is a replica and when he is about to find out, Leon shoots him. How did Leon was able to smuggle a weapon in his interview? If the police knew that replicas are murders, why not give body searches before the questioning. Even today's police officer do a body search when they arrest a suspected criminal. Why not do the same for a suspected replica? Even if a lot of people had to be searched, it could just be stander procedure to save police officer or blade runner's life.

Climax of Blarde Runner

I didn't read the climax Blade Runner. The only thing I know is about the new nexus 7 brain and human cloning. I personally don't believe that the clones would replace humans and the clones only lived up to four years. Even if clones or android do take over the human race, it is almost always foreseen that something dramatic would happen to the human species after a post apocalyptic world. Human errors always some how leads to their doom.

A specific scene

While reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", I started wondering why do people follow the empathy box. This device is used for following Mercer. Is this showing that Mercerism is a cult? People would blindly follow this figure to go up a hill and then possibly get hurt by some unseen force. There are reports of people dying of heart attacks and yet people still use the empathy box. It should be seen as something hazardous or it could be viewed as a new gateway drug to help people to move forward.

Revision

To be honest, I didn't read this chapter at all last night, but I will try to explain it as best as I could.  From just skimming over the pages, I can see it is about editing a paper and multiple drafts. Having more than one draft seems to help the writer have a better paper. The more drafts a writer has, the better the quality his or her paper becomes. They can focus more on who the reader is and clarify what their idea is. Unfortunately, this seems to be a lot of of work. The only time I would have two rough drafts if only the first one really sucked.

Blade Runner: The Chicken Head and the Device

Having read more of "Blade Runner," a reader like myself can see more of the aftermath of World War Terminus. One consequences from the war is people called specials. Specials are humans who have their genes altered from the dust created from the war. They can be classified into different groups and one group are called Chicken-Heads. Apparently they are not really smart. Some Chicken-Heads have to be in "Special Institutions" since they can not function well alone. One character, John Isidore, is a Chicken-Head. He lives alone in an abandon apartment and has a job as a electric animal repairs men. He appears to be very lonely and his only comfort is a device called empathy box. The empathy box some how connects thousand of peoples minds together to make them feel going up a hill as an old man.

Most Interesting Things from Chapter 1, 2, 3

Learning about the differences of a closed thesis and an open thesis was very interesting. A closed thesis is used more in essays or business letters. For my point of view, these thesis are very dry, but tells the reader what the main point is in this paper. An open thesis is more fluid and uncertain. Poems would uses these types of thesis and even in-courage readers to argue what the main idea is.

Writing History

Most of my readings are science fiction novels or fantasy. They are more interesting than non-fiction. These types of novels apply the what if scenario to life. What if people had to face world war 3 or what if the apocalypse happen. Writing is never really a strong pursuit of mine. I can write essays or journals, but it is a painful, boring process for me.  As for technology, I'm mostly exposed to computers or vehicles of transportation.
