Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost was a very unique poem. I still cant decide if I hated the poem or truly enjoyed it. It is
Milgram Experiment
Stanley Milgram
Documentary
1. Mankind shows blind obedience towards authoritative figures.
2. Humans feel better shifting blame and responsibility to others.
1. F451
2. BNW
3. Cats Cradle
1. Flowers for Algernon
2. Allegiant, shifting blame to the GDs instead of the GPs.
Dr. Strangelove
Stanley Kubrick
Dystopian Film
1. Humans use technology blindly, as they believe it will solve problems.
2. Confront the enemy before it confronts you.
3. Powerful people make their own rules.
1. Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick relates to Brave New World by Aldous Huxley because of the theme, Humans use technology blindly, as they believe it will solve problems. In Dr. Strangelove, the governments of America and Russia both use their military technology, mainly their nuclear weapons, blindly. The governments simply do not realize the effects of nuclear warfare. For example, when Merkey talks to Dmitri about the nuclear weapons not being a big deal, he plays it off like it is only a minor consequence. In Brave New World, the citizens use somma to solve their problems. The normal citizens dont know how the somma works, but they show their blind obedience towards technology. The citizens have problems, so they turn to somma to cure their problems. They dont realize what the effects of somma are, just like how the governments in Dr. Strangelove dont realize the effects of the nuclear bomb. Both these stories show how humans have a tendency toward blind obedience in technology.
2. Dr. Strangelove is also related to the Bush Doctrine by Jonas Jones. These two works are related because of the topic of first strike policies. In Dr. Strangelove, the Americans said that first striking was never their policy. For example, when Jack Ripper asked for permission to activate the nuclear missiles, the president said no because striking first was never an american policy. Now on the other hand, in the Bush Doctrine, one of the tenants stated that we [americans]had to extinguish a threat before it became a threat on or oil. We had to neutralize a threat with a first strike policy. This is ironic as now the American policy is a first strike policy in order to kill the threat before it reaches our soil.
3. Finally, Dr. Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick relates to Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut because of the theme, Humans use technology blindly, as they believe it will solve problems. In Dr. Strangelove, the governments of America and Russia both use their military technology, mainly their nuclear weapons, blindly. The governments simply do not realize the effects of nuclear warfare. For example, when Merkey talks to Dmitri about the nuclear weapons not being a big deal, he plays it off like it is only a minor consequence. In Cats Cradle, the San Lorenzan society uses technology, and ideas, blindly. For example, the San Lorenzans all believe Bokononism blindly. They all believe Bokonon, even though he tells them not to believe him, and that his ideas are all lies. In both of these novels, the two main characters all blindly use technology and obey whatever it tells them to do.
1. Dr. Strangelove relates to the Allegiant by Veronica Roth because of the topic of first strike policies. In Dr. Strangelove, the Americans said that first striking was never their policy. For example, when Jack Ripper asked for permission to activate the nuclear missiles, the president said no because striking first was never an american policy. In Allegiant, the Allegiant think the only way to stop Evelyn from becoming a dictator is to strike first before she has time to get ready and prepare for an attack. Both these works have a first strike policy. In Allegiant, striking first will help the Allegiant win, but in Dr. Strangelove, striking first is not the better option.
2. Giver, BD 2.1
Of Mice and Men
John Steinbeck
1. Humans have a tendency to exploit others weaknesses
2. People find it easier to work when they are in control.
1. Ishmael, somehow
2. Running Man, Ben killing Killian
3. Westworld, exploiting weaknesses of the robot to kill him
1. Pearl
2. Flowers for Algernon
Of Mica and Men was a rather boring book. Much like Steinbecks the Pearl, the book had too much detail and not enough action. I think I would have enjoyed the book a little bit more if there was more action and less detail.
Fog of War
Documentary
1. Confront the enemy before it confronts you.
2. Powerful people make their own rules.

ASCREAMING COMES ACROSS THE SKY. It has happened before, but
there is nothing to compare it to no.
It is too late. The Evacuation still proceeds, but it’s all theatre. There are
no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an
iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day
through. But it’s night. He’s afraid of the way the glass will fall—soon—it will
be a spectacle: the fall of a crystal palace. But coming down in total blackout,
without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.
Inside the carriage, which is built on several levels, he sits in velveteen
darkness, with nothing to smoke, feeling metal nearer and farther rub and
connect, steam escaping in puffs, a vibration in the carriage’s frame, a poising,
an uneasiness, all the others pressed in around, feeble ones, second sheep, all
out of luck and time: drunks, old veterans still in shock from ordnance 20
years obsolete, hustlers in city clothes, derelicts, exhausted women with more
children than it seems could belong to anyone, stacked about among the rest of
the things to be carried out to salvation. Only the nearer faces are visible at all,
and at that only as half-silvered images in a view finder, green-stained VIP faces
remembered behind bulletproof windows speeding through the city. . .
They have begun to move. They pass in line, out of the main station, out of
downtown, and begin pushing into older and more desolate parts of the city. Is
this the way out? Faces turn to the windows, but no one dares ask, not out loud.
Rain comes down. No, this is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive
knotting into
—they go in under archways, secret entrances of rotted concrete
that only looked like loops of an underpass . . . certain trestles of blackened
wood have moved slowly by overhead, and the smells begun of coal from days
far to the past, smells of naphtha winters, of Sundays when no traffic came
through, of the coral-like and mysteriously vital growth, around the blind curves
and out the lonely spurs, a sour smell of rolling-stock absence, of maturing rust,
developing through those emptying days brilliant and deep, especially at dawn,
with blue shadows to seal its passage, to try to bring events to Absolute Zero . . .
and it is poorer the deeper they go . . . ruinous secret cities of poor, places whose
names he has never heard. . .
the walls break down, the roofs get fewer and so do
the chances for light. The road, which ought to be opening out into a broader
highway, instead has been getting narrower, more broken, cornering tighter and
tighter until all at once, much too soon, they are under the final arch: b

If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet -----!"
