According to this semester, I think that the content of food unit has a close connection with the previous text which are the allegory of the cave, the truman show, the matrix. The common theme of these texts are all about knowing the truth beyond the fake. In the truman show, the truman lives in the fake world that is created by a director and he finds the truth at last by getting over fear of water. In the allegory of the cave, a prisoners who has been in the cave for almost his life escapes from the cave. He sees the real world which is the truth and realizes that all things he sees in the cave was not everything in the world. In matrix, neo face the situation that he needs to choose one of the red pill and blue pill. He picks the red pill to know the truth whether the truth is bad or good.

The maker of meatrix makes the film based on "matrix". The world is now industry society. people make things so fast and they want to make more money so that they don't really care about how the process is. the truth is covered by money like the matrix covers the real world to control the people. The maker wants us to know the truth about how the meats we eat are made and where the meats from like the neo finds the truth in the matrix. As I look back over my works for the food unit, I think that the theme of this class is the truth and enlightenment and I realize that I'm also one of the people who are afraid of knowing the truth.

I think I have done well on my essay structure through the practice CAT test but I need more practice about managing the time. The one big challenge that I face in this class is using variable words in the essay. I think that I need to do more freerice whenever I have time so that I can use more new words on my essay. I also need to develop my thesis and claim on practice CAT test. I hope I do more practice so I pass the CAT test.
