This semester this class has gone through many subjects as “The Allegory of the cave”, “The Truman Show”, and the “matrix”. I started to think how it is relevant to the “meatrix” and seemed that there was nothing in common with each other but it was very similar. Basically every subject is about discovering new truths and curiosity. When we moved from subject to subject I never thought about how they have changed my curiosity to learn. The more I learned I felt confident. Having basic knowledge before writing the CAT was a lot easier than just doing it. These subjects were interesting and kept us thinking and writing.
` “The Allegory of the Cave” and “The Truman Show” is very similar they both have a man discover something new but both had to make effort to discover it. In the “Allegory of the cave” Socrates explains that people who lived in chains looking at a black wall and the only thing they saw was their shadow then that would be all they know but then one person left the chains and discovered there was more than the shadows. The Truman Show is about a man who was born into a fake world but in actuality is a reality show all about him. He figures out that his whole life was a lie, his friends, his wife, and even his whole existence. Then he discovered the actual real world. These two subjects made it easier to understand the upcoming segments.
The “Matrix” and the “Meatrix” even have similar names. They used the same story line to tell two different stories. The matrix was about the computer world and how the world neo lived in was not real. Neo wasn’t happy living his life there as a hacker and computer programmer but he was “the one” that need to save the matrix. The meatrix is about food industries taking nice family farms and Turning it into a unhealthy factory. There is this little pig named Leo that is like neo and has to save the farms and consumers from discovering the truth about where their food comes from.
