Plastic Bag and Synthesis

1. Why does it end with the line “I wish you had made me so that I could die”?

I think that it end with the line “I wish you had made me so that i could die” because how we know people in the factory just can made than but they never can be destroyed, means that even thought that they get inside water they just can be broken in litter peace but never destroyed because they continue be a bag..

2. Why does the plastic bag keep saying that he is “useless” to the animals?

         I think that he said that he is useless to the animals because we know that just the people can use the bags. 

3. In what ways does this film reflect issues from this class?

        This film connect to this class because its show existentialism. A example of this is when the bad wanted to find the woman. This film also connect to egoism because it shows that they just make the bags for the use of the people but they do not see how they in a way affect the life of the animals and plant.. 

4. In what ways does it connect to chemistry class?

        This also connect to chemistry class because we always discuss about things that are dissolving in water or other substances , and we this film we learn that Bags can not be dissolve or destroy it by water.

5. In what ways are this class and chemistry class related? What are common themes?

     Chemistry and Literature are related in a way that with the learning of chemistry people make books that that is use in literature class  and things that in a way can help the people but in other way can affect the world..

The different between natural sciences and social sciences

natural sciences also known as the “hard sciences” include biology, chemistry, physics, etc. whereas, social sciences (soft science) studies people on the individual and societal levels. Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology can all be classified as the social sciences. They also used different methodology: the findings of the natural sciences can usually be duplicated in a laboratory setting. Social science experiments have to take population dynamics and other variables into consideration. With social sciences, sometimes the results aren’t as clean.

Whether or not you think Wal-Mart is good for America, and if it should come to NYC.

The good part of why Wal-Mart will be a good company for NYC is because it’s a way to help the society and the economy. It makes the economy to go up by selling different kinds of products in lower prices. Also because when some company wants Wal-Mart to sell them things in higher prices, they does not sell those things, so this mean that they want to help the economy to grow up.  A way that Wal-Mart is affect the society of NYC is because it destroy all the small business

12 Quotes:

 Godot

Outcome 11-13:

 In my opinion the play “waiting for Godot” its represent absurdism because its shows that Estragon does not have a lot of hope. Also its shows that even thought they continue in waiting for Godot, every day that is passing they see it that “Godot” never came. And even thought Vladimir is who always shows hope, he also give up from what he want and what they are looking for..I think this play want to show us how complicate and bored is life because sometime we have to do the same thing every day and we never get the meaning..

outcome:10

How is ” Waiting for Godot” similar to life in the bronx?

Ithink that Waiting for Godot and the life in the bronx have alot of things in similar..

          “waiting for godot”

  • Many Homeless people.
  • Poor
  • Many people are looking for things that they want.
  • Chances to find someone to love them.
  • They never give up.
  • not treated fairly.

          “life in the bronx”

  • Chances to find someone to love them.
  • Homeless.
  • Opportunities.
  • never give up, even thought life is hard.
  • They trying to have a better place to live.
  • not a place were anybody want to live.

It is very difficult to those people that just came in to the bronx( immigrants), because they think that the life in here is the same as they country but is not true ..life in the brorx and in all the states in U.S is very hard..you have to work for the things that you do not have and if you do not have a lot of money you would have to be a homeless to such as ..Estragon, Vladimir,ect..
