Roger and I are goingt o create a stry of a young man who is trying to mke it in the real world, or the city (NYC) and all he truly cares about are his bike and his rubiks cube. The real life thought of depending on ones personal prefrences for happiness show that life can revolve around certain things. It is up to the person and his or her own ideas.
ANDY, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVOLLOPING THE STORY. WE WILL FILM THIS WEEKEND.

PERSONAL PROPHET and REVELATION COMBINED
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE REVLATION PHILOSOPHERS AND PROPHETS, but I hvae to say the biggest revelationers of my life would be my 3 friends MArk, PHIL, AND ROGER, only because the things i come to conclusion on are viewed by them. And heavily inflected upon by the crowd and thus they are my prphets. I think just the reason of them being my feriends more or leess make them my prophets because they help me to identify myself like andy says oh you made my...IDENTITY.
I think shince your friends have the heaviest impact on you, they also hjelp to teach and learn ofcourse to me.
Falling in love also has led me to the revlation of life sucks sometims, but you can still enojy it by loveing someone and tlking about it tos ome one.
Talking about your life and thoughts i svery important and necessary to a good life. My love, Emily has shown me this. IF you hold bakc and dont talk your mind, youll blow up.
You must communicate with eachother and this has been one of my hugest revlations of ym life.
Roger is completely real in the regular world and doesnt worry about anyones opinion and this makes him not have to change for anyone. only himself. Being from the dirty Jers, he has a very different life style upon him. I like seeing this, because he sees things differently than every one else, and this truy makes him stand out, for better or for worse is up for interpretation.
Mark is smooth, fast, but not the brightest shed in the tool box. The best thing is that he doesnt try to deny it, he plays aliong and knows he can think for him self and doesnt need anyone to TELL HIM WHAT TO DO. He figures it out. This shows a lot of repect for every one else. I find a lot of respect in him towards every one and to him also.
if Phil is set on doing sometihng he will do it, no questions, he knows what he wants and he wont let any none stand in his way. NO ONE! If he wants something (mostly if he NEEDs something) he will do alot of what is in his power to get it.
falling in love, as i said before is one of the best things there are, my three FRIENDS AND GIRLFRIEND have helped me to achieve happiness and success in my loving relationship. Having Phil first help me get through years of aggravation before Emily finally fell for me helped me to feel ok about everything. Giving me the reveltaion that "IF SOMETHING IS MEANT TO HAPPEN. IT WILL" - "THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON" AND "WHAT EVER HAPPENED OR WILL HAPPEN WASNT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ANY DIFFERENT WAY". this reminds me of the MATRX when Morpheus tells neo that things happen the way they do and they shouldnt happen any other way. Phil is like a Morpheus when Neo is on his way to the Matrix.
Finally when I started going out with Emily, Mark came in to help me get thigns started, helping me think of things to do and say. He was like Morpheus when Neo is trying to fight him, jump or watch the LADY IN RED. Starting with EMily was fun, but here and there, we hit a few bumps and with this Mark, being the sly cat that he is, helped me get back on my feet and FIGHT BACK and solve the stupidness sitting between my gf and I.
Roger came late in the game, so filling him in was like opening up the eyes of younger souls, sucha s the kid in the Mtrix 2 that is obsessed with Neo since he opened his eyes to the freal world. IM NOT SAYING AT ALL, that Roger is obsessed, he is just a great friend willing to ask and willing to reply with witty remarks. Like I discussed earlier, Roger being form another place has helped me to understand lots of POVs (points of views). FROM THE OTHER SIDE. This is like the crew that helped save his life time and time again and do the work, like the PILOT in th eMatrix, like MR WIZARD , tank, and so on. He helps guide me and understand from someone watching. Roger also showed me that MSOST, IF NOT ALL people are very predictable and unreliable. He has his fare share of being blown off and he showed me it happens with eveyrone.
Emily, like Trinity makes everything happen. Withuot her, I wouldnt be able to save friends, and working with her I learned that it needs alot of work FROM BOTH SIDES to hold onto someone. WIthout it, there isnt much. She has showed me how easy it is to lose a friend. and how harsh it is to your persona. Its not easy to lose someo ne close to you. Especially , when it is intentional.

FINAL BIG ESSAY WTIH CONCLUSION
In Andy's revelation class, we were discussing the reappearing idea of a trope. A trope is a lot like a mix of an archetype and a motif. According to Wiki a trope is a common pattern, theme, or motif in literature. A trope is what makes a story defining who the characters are and what role that they play. (Elliots) We obviously looked at the revelation trope and saw how the different parts of it (sub tropes) make the plot what it is. The trope is made up of many ideas, that all change here and there, but still lead the same story. What Andy used to explain all of these counterparts was: "(1) The ignorant masses in an (2)unacceptable/oppressive situation when a (3)prophet/reveler tries to (4)share the message (5)that connects the dots in a new way (6) and offers a vision of a redeemed world (7) but there is opposition to the message/prophet (8)drama occurs." This is a little back and forth but hits all the main points of the revelation trope.
In the matrix, Foxfire, Star wars and many other different stories, the main characters have revelations and want others to experience very similar things. They go around and try to inform the ignorant masses. They fight off anti christ like characters and try to get their points across.
Neo is the Jesus like character in the Matrix, and he is there to "save the world". Cypher doesnt like this, let alone, he tries to stop him from doing this. Morpheus is a rophet and he wants to pen Neos eyes, but he can only tell him to open them, Neo needs to do it. Like morpheus says, I can only show you the path, you have to walk it. this is very pwerful, since all of our lfes, people tell us to do things, they show us how and what to do, but Morpheus wants Neo to figure it out for himsself, so he tells him to do it, but lets neo actually do it and figure out why, how and what it really does for his life. Norpheus only does things to help neo, so its not like jumping over the roof scene is just there for fun, its to show jhim that reality means nothing. When morphues sacrifices himself for Neo, which is a little contradictory, he does it so that Neo can make the decision and must fufuill he destiny. But by giving himself up, it doesnt get them anywhere except half of their t eam is killed by Cypher and now Morpheus is being tortured and talked to by Smith. SMith wants alot of info, and Morheus will not give it to him. He doesnt want to be there any more. He, smith, wants to crakc th matrix himself so that he can be wasted along with it. He hates living and doesnt want to deal with the slaves and whatnot. he wants out. "Have you ever marveled at it?"Mr. Smith goes into alot of detail explaining that, like a virus, Humans do the same thing by finding a body to live only to destroy it and to move on to the next victim. He is very clever in this, since, humans travel all around, deplteing resourcses, killing others and just destroying anything around them. Humans are terrible.
In the class, we were to create book groups, so Elliot, Gaby, Nicole, Margaux and etc all joined and we were supposed to read about Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom but none of us actually did. COurtney and Caitlin explained Tuesdays with Morrie, saying it was a student who always goes to his proffessor whos dying. He does accept his death on the way. You can tell hes genuine by the way he speaks, because he is still happening and has no reason to teach unimportant stuff. He is a true prophet and does not care what people have to say. The student is a lot like the stupid masses who dont know what to do and need a leader.
We were assigned to read a book and watch a movie that had a revelation story. The book I read was "The Half True Diary of a half Indian" by Sherman Alexi. It was about a young Indian boy from the Reservation and who lived his life the res way until the 9th grade, where his teacher (that he had broke his nose) opened up his eyes and told him to get out and live the real life. SO he transfers to another school outside the Res. He meets new people, but people who actually like him after they get to know him and after he punches the head jock in the face. He notices it is different off of the res. He lives in the Res still, but goes to school every day outside and after a while, he notices that theyre all the same, and that his new white gf, is supposed to be with the big white jock, because in the suburbs, thats how it is. He has a few revelations through out this, but I think the first and most important was when his teacher says get out before you get dragged in. If you dont leave now, yoll never leave, youill be here for ever and wont leave the Res, so get out while yuo can.
the Movie I decided to watch was The Breakfast Club. All of the 5 high school kids are trapped in the library for detention on a bright and beautiful saturday morning. The principal is a huge dick and wont let them leave. The reasons theyre in are all different and their peronalities are surely different! Punk, princess, jock, dork and bitch whore bag. They all hate eachother and have a lot of problems with each other, but they do what they have to....for a little bit. They decide to do stupid shit and get in trouble and play music and just go crazy. When the principal catches them, he gives them al the hardest time. They come together in the end by seeing that what they think about the other person is correct, but there is so much more. The dorks have te same pressures and shit to deal with and so on.
Another favorite was Star Wars 4. LITTLE BOY LUKE SKYWALKER is the main character. His aunt and uncle who deny his whole life and make everything up die right at the begininng. He is adopted by his uncle ben who we find out is Obi Wan Kinobe, his fathers friend. He knew his fatehr and Luke hears a little about him and learns that DArth Vader killed him.Luke sets out to become a jedi. He goes with Obi Wan and to get a transport, they meet Chewee and Han Solo. Their new compradres that they dont like very much. They fly right into a trap and get dragged into another ship. They save the Princess and decide to leave, but thye run into trouble and Ben gets killed by Vader.
The young Jedi is now with no one except his new princess freind, SOlo and Chewee and the 2 droids who play the comic gay couple. He needs to find out more and he helps fight the rebellion with the Revolutioners, more like the Revelationers. He winds up making the final shot (his orgasm) into the rebel base and blows it to smithereens. AT this point, he feels the force within himslef and knows he is a chosen one.
I feel like the force is a revelation waiting to happen. Obi wan is a prophet letting skywalker in on all the details and telling all the truth and truly fufilling his role as prophet. Vader, skywalkers father asks him to join, but Luke knows this is abad idea and decides ot fight off the evil forces.
Losing someone can open your eyes to alot of things. The truth mostly, and I feel like people can self rvelate. If someting big happens, like a death of a family, friend and so on.,I think peoples eyes are opened and they start to understand more. In EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE, BY JONATHAN SAFFRON FOER, Oscar the young boy goes in search of info on his deceased father. He wants to know more from the point he finds a key with BLACK on the envelope to the point where he meets the reason for the key. He goes through alot of stuff to find out, but he finds the answer and feels better knownig it was something and it wasnt a waste of time.
This revelation was very big and hit the 9 year old fairly hard. Such a prone mind to anything, and all of a sudden his father dies and he believes that he left him clues. I think the self revelation is one of the strongest, because you can question other people easy, but when it comes down to questioning yourself, how will you deal with it?
in the movie THEY LIVE, the main character finds glasses that uncover the sheath pulled over his eyes. When this hobo like man puts on the simple looking sunglasses, he sees all of the truth. He realizes what he has been seeig is a complete lie and he cannot believe it anymore.
It shows him that when he looks at a magazine, (the economist ironically enough) he sees words LIKE OBEY, SLEEP, LISTEN TO US, AND SO ON. When he removes the glasses, he sees the old magazine as he normaly would with the ock info and what not.
Then when he looks at the tv, in the background where it usually saysthe new company or channel it now says OBEY IN HUGE LETTERS
the question i have is "is it considered subliminal or is it only seen by the glass wearers?"
Who would deny this and who wouldnt want to wear the glasses and also, who would wear the glasses for aminute and then all of a sudden deny the whole thing and continue living life with out the glasses or ideas that its all fak?
They live is a perfect revelation story, and thus the protagonist becomes the prophet and tries to inform the ignorant masses. He tries the token black man that helped him in the beginning, and then after a 10 min fight seen, they both bvelieve.
He kills cops easy because all the evl people have demon like faces and mostrous.
The poeple that are good jjst have the same faces though tge glases. In one scence, you see 2 men, 1 demon and the other fine. The demon face says something about you just gotta do it, and then the regular guy says thats easy froy uo tosay, you got the extrea pay.
I know itsa little cleshay, but my mother ha sopened my eyes to so much, wether it be about sexual ed, partying, drinking drugs etc, and just life as it is. Becaus of my aspergers syndrome, I need to be informed not of current events, but how to ract to people and how to deal with diaily things in life. This s hard for me and my mother, but she does a hellof a job, dealing with me and helping me. She tells me abouyt the rel life jerks and asshooles that take advantage o f drunk womne.
I hate thgis, because my mother hates this and she taught em to.
I dont like drinnkiing to get so drunk i dont feel anything and I know when i got o college i will be ok to drinnk not liuke the other kids whos parents alwas told them no tot drink. all of these childrentgo away to college anbd lose it and have no restricions and they just wind up dying from alcohol poisoning or a car crash because of DUI. its so stupid. The way my mother just lets me know eveyrnonece and a while is good She doesnt pour it out o n me but she just ells me stuff and i have many revelations during the week.
Revelations are all around us and alot of people dont realize. But the igonorwtn masses usually have a prophet like andy to let them know whats going on. Life would probly be easier if the revelation learned waas the one ins school and not this bullshit education.
ITS EASIER WITH A FEW SOLID THOUGHTS THAT ANYONE CAN SHARE and work with. Im no talking about to make everyone vbeleive the same thing because thats like twhat our goverment is doing right onow, but i mean like just a limited amount of revelations and when new oens are creatd, everyone can experiecen them.
This is not so possible, annd it wouldf just beign the cycle we rar en right now and thats what I ahvea revolted and revelated about to.

COurtney and Caitlin explained Tuesdays with Morrie, saying it was a student who always goes to his proffessor whos dying. He does accept his death on the way. You can tell hes genuine by the way he speaks, because he is still happening and has no reason to teach unimportant stuff. He is a true prophet and does not care what people have to say. The student is a lot like the stupid masses who dont know what to do and need a leader.
We were assigned to read a book and watch a movie that had a revelation story. The book I read was "The Half True Diary of a half Indian" by Sherman Alexi. It was about a young Indian boy from the Reservation and who lived his life the res way until the 9th grade, where his teacher (that he had broke his nose) opened up his eyes and told him to get out and live the real life. SO he transfers to another school outside the Res. He meets new people, but people who actually like him after they get to know him and after he punches the head jock in the face. He notices it is different off of the res. He lives in the Res still, but goes to school every day outside and after a while, he notices that theyre all the same, and that his new white gf, is supposed to be with the big white jock, because in the suburbs, thats how it is. He has a few revelations through out this, but I think the first and most important was when his teacher says get out before you get dragged in. If you dont leave now, yoll never leave, youill be here for ever and wont leave the Res, so get out while yuo can.
the Movie I decided to watch was The Breakfast Club. All of the 5 high school kids are trapped in the library for detention on a bright and beautiful saturday morning. The principal is a huge dick and wont let them leave. The reasons theyre in are all different and their peronalities are surely different! Punk, princess, jock, dork and bitch whore bag. They all hate eachother and have a lot of problems with each other, but they do what they have to....for a little bit. They decide to do stupid shit and get in trouble and play music and just go crazy. When the principal catches them, he gives them al the hardest time. They come together in the end by seeing that what they think about the other person is correct, but there is so much more. The dorks have te same pressures and shit to deal with and so on.
Another favorite was Star Wars 4. LITTLE BOY LUKE SKYWALKER is the main character. His aunt and uncle who deny his whole life and make everything up die right at the begininng. He is adopted by his uncle ben who we find out is Obi Wan Kinobe, his fathers friend. He knew his fatehr and Luke hears a little about him and learns that DArth Vader killed him.Luke sets out to become a jedi. He goes with Obi Wan and to get a transport, they meet Chewee and Han Solo. Their new compradres that they dont like very much. They fly right into a trap and get dragged into another ship. They save the Princess and decide to leave, but thye run into trouble and Ben gets killed by Vader.
The young Jedi is now with no one except his new princess freind, SOlo and Chewee and the 2 droids who play the comic gay couple. He needs to find out more and he helps fight the rebellion with the Revolutioners, more like the Revelationers. He winds up making the final shot (his orgasm) into the rebel base and blows it to smithereens. AT this point, he feels the force within himslef and knows he is a chosen one.
I feel like the force is a revelation waiting to happen. Obi wan is a prophet letting skywalker in on all the details and telling all the truth and truly fufilling his role as prophet. Vader, skywalkers father asks him to join, but Luke knows this is abad idea and decides ot fight off the evil forces.
Losing someone can open your eyes to alot of things. The truth mostly, and I feel like people can self rvelate. If someting big happens, like a death of a family, friend and so on.,I think peoples eyes are opened and they start to understand more. In EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE, BY JONATHAN SAFFRON FOER, Oscar the young boy goes in search of info on his deceased father. He wants to know more from the point he finds a key with BLACK on the envelope to the point where he meets the reason for the key. He goes through alot of stuff to find out, but he finds the answer and feels better knownig it was something and it wasnt a waste of time.
This revelation was very big and hit the 9 year old fairly hard. Such a prone mind to anything, and all of a sudden his father dies and he believes that he left him clues. I think the self revelation is one of the strongest, because you can question other people easy, but when it comes down to questioning yourself, how will you deal with it?
in the movie THEY LIVE, the main character finds glasses that uncover the sheath pulled over his eyes. When this hobo like man puts on the simple looking sunglasses, he sees all of the truth. He realizes what he has been seeig is a complete lie and he cannot believe it anymore.
It shows him that when he looks at a magazine, (the economist ironically enough) he sees words LIKE OBEY, SLEEP, LISTEN TO US, AND SO ON. When he removes the glasses, he sees the old magazine as he normaly would with the ock info and what not.
Then when he looks at the tv, in the background where it usually saysthe new company or channel it now says OBEY IN HUGE LETTERS
the question i have is "is it considered subliminal or is it only seen by the glass wearers?"
Who would deny this and who wouldnt want to wear the glasses and also, who would wear the glasses for aminute and then all of a sudden deny the whole thing and continue living life with out the glasses or ideas that its all fak?
They live is a perfect revelation story, and thus the protagonist becomes the prophet and tries to inform the ignorant masses. He tries the token black man that helped him in the beginning, and then after a 10 min fight seen, they both bvelieve.
He kills cops easy because all the evl people have demon like faces and mostrous.
The poeple that are good jjst have the same faces though tge glases. In one scence, you see 2 men, 1 demon and the other fine. The demon face says something about you just gotta do it, and then the regular guy says thats easy froy uo tosay, you got the extrea pay.
I know itsa little cleshay, but my mother ha sopened my eyes to so much, wether it be about sexual ed, partying, drinking drugs etc, and just life as it is. Becaus of my aspergers syndrome, I need to be informed not of current events, but how to ract to people and how to deal with diaily things in life. This s hard for me and my mother, but she does a hellof a job, dealing with me and helping me. She tells me abouyt the rel life jerks and asshooles that take advantage o f drunk womne.
I hate thgis, because my mother hates this and she taught em to.
I dont like drinnkiing to get so drunk i dont feel anything and I know when i got o college i will be ok to drinnk not liuke the other kids whos parents alwas told them no tot drink. all of these childrentgo away to college anbd lose it and have no restricions and they just wind up dying from alcohol poisoning or a car crash because of DUI. its so stupid. The way my mother just lets me know eveyrnonece and a while is good She doesnt pour it out o n me but she just ells me stuff and i have many revelations during the week.
In the matrix, Foxfire, Star wars and many other different stories, the main characters have revelations and want others to experience very similar things. They go around and try to inform the ignorant masses. They fight off anti christ like characters and try to get their points across.
Neo is the Jesus like character in the Matrix, and he is there to "save the world". Cypher doesnt like this, let alone, he tries to stop him from doing this. Morpheus is a rophet and he wants to pen Neos eyes, but he can only tell him to open them, Neo needs to do it. Like morpheus says, I can only show you the path, you have to walk it. this is very pwerful, since all of our lfes, people tell us to do things, they show us how and what to do, but Morpheus wants Neo to figure it out for himsself, so he tells him to do it, but lets neo actually do it and figure out why, how and what it really does for his life. Norpheus only does things to help neo, so its not like jumping over the roof scene is just there for fun, its to show jhim that reality means nothing. When morphues sacrifices himself for Neo, which is a little contradictory, he does it so that Neo can make the decision and must fufuill he destiny. But by giving himself up, it doesnt get them anywhere except half of their t eam is killed by Cypher and now Morpheus is being tortured and talked to by Smith. SMith wants alot of info, and Morheus will not give it to him. He doesnt want to be there any more. He, smith, wants to crakc th matrix himself so that he can be wasted along with it. He hates living and doesnt want to deal with the slaves and whatnot. he wants out. "Have you ever marveled at it?"Mr. Smith goes into alot of detail explaining that, like a virus, Humans do the same thing by finding a body to live only to destroy it and to move on to the next victim. He is very clever in this, since, humans travel all around, deplteing resourcses, killing others and just destroying anything around them. Humans are terrible.
