Robinson Crusoe Analysis#1

Today Mr. Nut brought me his book "Robinson Crusoe" after I had been asking him for it over a decade. Today we have a free period which is about 3 hrs plus lunch so it becomes 4 hrs. I was kind of free and a little stress out about coming up midterm exams so I start reading the book hoping it can take my mind some where else.

So I started reading after I finished my lunch and slowly I finished the book within two or three hours. This book is different from Frankenstein, I mean I get the point of Frankenstein and how it can be compare with modern technology. But for Robinson Crusoe it's just about some person's imagination. (or is all the books are someone's imagination) Anyway It was just so so book, an ok book, the story was plain and easy. There are little exciting moments and of course it's easy to finish which is great.

I like the idea of being alone on an island. I mean I appreciate my life but sometimes I feel like if I'm alone that would be great. It would be a lot of fun to live and do everything that you ever imagine. When I was reading this book I thought of the series called Lost. In Lost the plane crashed on an island and people would try to go back home. There is a similarity to Robinson in which when the people in series would actually get to go home they feel like there's nothing to go back because the island is their home just like Robinson Crusoe whom looks at the island like his home. But Robinson left the island anyway.

I got this feeling while I was reading the book, which I think it's hard to explain in words but I'll try. If we all live in the present and the present only, we wouldn't think of things in the past nor the future. And when we really stay in the present that's all there is to life just that moment because time can't turn back, it can't go faster or slower. But we always worry about those things.

That's almost close to what I want to type out.

Who are we to judge??

Today there was a news about a thief who cut the 300 year old Buddha statue's head off in some province in Thailand. The newsreader used the word "ใจบาป" with a negative voice and after I heard that I got a thought that who are we to judge about that person. I mean he's a newsreader he should just read news but don't have to give in his opinion that much kinda give me a negative vibe. Cutting Buddha's head is a big deal but we do not know who did it or for what reason, maybe he doesn't know enough or doesn't believe in Buddhism and such. The point is we do not know anything and shouldn't judge right the way base on only little information that's all.

Presentation that no one wants

Today Mr. Kevin told everyone in class that we have to do a presentation not less than 12 minutes on Frankenstein next week. And it is horrible, no one in class want to listen to other ten persons in class present about the book everyone has to read for 120 minutes. I mean we all know that responsibility for a student is to do all the homework but sometimes we are just really don't want to do it. Yeah that's all I just wanna complain and also write something in my blog.

Frankenstein

I've read Frankenstein years ago, back then I thought it was a hard long boring book. But after this time it was not bad at all, the book was shorter than I remembered and a little less fun than what I thought. But overall I think it's a creative theme about the monster because the book was written quite a while ago. Also it reflects the society in the technology way and also about the Mary Shelley about having a child. Plus it's all time famous films ever made.

Stuff in your head

Long time ago I took Drama class, it was an acting class very very fun. One day Mrs. Hay said that "I don't watch television because it put stuff it your head and it blocks one creativeness". I was totally confused, I mean I thought I understood everything back then because I wasn't much of a creative person. But nowadays I see that everything on television is part of the stuff that got put in everyone's head some might call it culture or social values. I mean people should have good morals to live in this world but some of the stuff that your social put in your head is not good it limits one from doing a lot of things. Basically I would say people just need good morals and hold on to it and then don't have to care about doing anything as long as it's going well with good morals.

Hancock movie review

Yesterday I watched the movie Hancock. It's a very fun action movie to me, even though some people said it was not good. I mean I can see why they think that way maybe expect too much. The plot is weird, odd, out of the norm but I think that's great, plus this is Hollywood they do not make a lot of not good movies. The other think I like about this movie is Charlize Theron, she's very hot in this movie and normally she would get all these weird scripts in movies and doesn't show her beauty as much. But finally this movie she's looking very beautiful.
