Blog Post # 1

Hi my name is Aaron Straker.  I’m studying Liberal Arts: Social Sciences and Humanities here at Laguardia Community College.  Eng 103 is one of the classes I needed credits for.  But I’m still interested in this class because of the topics for the research paper and the movies we get to choose.  One of my favorite movies is Alien the slow buildup in space with the Alien on ship killing members one by one.  Except for Ripley and the cat Jones.  I do think that movies can tell us about the real world.  Like in movies you see the great lengths people go threw to achieve their goals.  Which can be seen in real life whether the goal being good or bad.  For example 9/11.  But they are things in movies that aren’t true in real life in certain areas.  Such as super powers in movies.  But they are certain things in real life that will give humans certain special abilities.  Such as not being able to feel pain but could be caused by some type of illness.  Or autism can give someone abilities such as seeing a city then being able to draw the entire city from meomory.  My choice in film is Alien because I’ve seen it a few times and it’s one of my favorite movies.  But this time watching it I’ll have watch it in a sort of intellectual way instead of seeing a Xenomorph killing members of the ship.
