Identities

           Creating online identities are really fun and if used effectively, one can excite the minds of the readers, while creating the persona one has always wanted.  Through using these anonymous identities, the writer can express his or her ideas freely without fear of being criticized and recognized.  When human beings can hide behind some covering, they tend to express their true feelings.  Creativity emerges and before one knows it, he or she could be in for the surprise and/or shock of their lives.  Through online identities, people feel more secure because they can escape into a world that they create, control, and become a part in, while shedding their unwanted attributes that they feel insecure about. 

            Creating an identity can also attract a particular or universal audience.  Combining the right persona with the right intensity of ones emotions and passions can make an aspiring author an overnight celebrity.  People are drawn to controversy that’s racy but not too dangerous.  Image is the defining key in attracting unknown audiences.  Using this image wisely and productively can be beneficial in advertisement, promoting social change, and inspiring others to perpetually and positively change their current condition.

Tips For Blogging

          I think that one of the first steps in creating a web blog is to have an intent or purpose in mind.  Blogging is a way to attract an audience that may share the same ideologies as the author.  It is also important to seek to motivate and inspire others toward changing negative behavior and to promote positive social change.  Knowing your audience and who may read your ideas can help you to construct your writing more appropriate to your readers.  This will help not to excite negative misinterpretations of your ideas, but yet still allows one to be firm and confident in his or her writing.  One should also be passionate about the stand one takes on an issue.  If you don’t really believe in your cause, then others will not either.

Frankenstein and The Island: Why Doesn’t Daddy Love Me?

           In the age of advances in technology, mankind has become perpetually self-indulged in playing the role of the ultimate creator.  Humans have been used as test subjects for selfish scientists who seek to alter or control nature.  The movie The Island and the book Frankenstein are representative of such scientific projects that seek to create and manipulate humans, while also showing the negligence and lack of caring of one’s creation.  This lack of responsibility towards creation leads those who are left behind to become awakened to the true nature of their “masters”, thus leading to destruction and misery as a means of finding acceptance.  

            In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor seeks respect and power by creating a monster.  After recognizing his creation, he sees how horrific the creature has turned out and is forced to actually see a mirror image of the internal ugliness inside him.  After the creature feels no love or guidance from his creator, it eventually becomes apparent that the creature was not made to fit into society, thus causing rebellion and destruction.  Similarly in the movie The Island, humans were created as clones to satisfy the selfish wishes of those seeking to manipulate creation.  The clones find out the truth of their creators and they too rebel seeking their true selves and acceptance by society.

            Another similarity between the movie The Island and the book Frankenstein is the desire to have a woman while struggling through the search for love and acceptance.  Frankenstein wanted a mate and the character in The Island desired deeply to have a woman with him while struggling to overcome difficulties.  I believe that both the book and the film subliminally stress the need for a woman and her influence in making the world come into harmony.  The woman completes the cipher of creation by complimenting the male attributes, adding order and balance to creation, and serving as a strong support foundation that is needed for self and human development.
