Myth a word used to describe something to the human eye as unreal. Originated through grease in which developed through the ears of the people presenting a form of belief. Relatively characterized for gods or the supernatural existence that many people still seem to believe such as Zion in the movie “The Matrix.” In the movie Zion was known as a god, a higher power to the real world rather than in the Matrix to the eye is a system.
What is the Matrix? Is it real? Is it considered to be a fake? I believe that the Matrix is an interpretation made by each and every individual to come to a belief on how the world works. Everybody has their own general idea of how the world is and how it works, but whose to say that they're right or wrong. The Matrix is a system, a known feeling set within the mind. It’s like a mystery existing within the brain cells making and creating a world that’s commonly related to a simulation. Appearing as an illusion Morpheus the visionary believes that the world is our dream that we have come to believe as the real world. The symbolism behind the character Morpheus is known as the god of dreams within the greek mythology.
The mythology within the Matrix reaches the meaning of our living. Picturing life as it is, giving its significance to reality. Considering seeing people able to imagine their own existence, their own self. A feeling within one's presence but not understanding it themselves. Co-creator of the Matrix the Oracle, represents the compassion, help, and guidance. Not much of predicting the future but giving a concept used to interpret within the help of others that want it.
In conclusion myth comes in all shapes and forms. Shown that even this world that we live in can also be a myth, what do we know is real? The Matrix? Society will never know whats real or not real until proof is shown. Some believe in the known unknown even without proof and just with a good explanation that was given. The message of the matrix films are that people have different stages and they don't understand how its gonna end up and what will happen in the end. What do you think?

Hi Okorie,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your essay. I loved the introduction. You had a good sense of how the Matrix fit into today's life. You had great supporting paragrapghs within your essay. I was interested from start to finish. Also, the essay could have a been a little longer. Overall, you are a great writer and I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
Just a couple of things: The essay was supposed to be relating a myth with the Matrix. In your essay, you are stating that the Matrix itself is a myth, but in comparison to what?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Zion was a place, not a God.
The intro was pretty engaging. I really liked how your essay brought up a lot of questions for the reader to think about. Some people, like myself, wouldn't have ever really questioned it after watching the movie.
I also like how you went head on about how the Matrix itself was a myth. I really did like how you challenged the topic. It was well written with just a few grammatical errors that i would consider revising.
