    Utopia and Dystopia 

Blog #2
 "Utopia" in other words by "Google" is, "An imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect". 
There is many different ways to understand this word. One way I can picture it, is a world where there was no wrong, no tears falling down innocent faces. an imaginary society where the word "war" doesn't even exist. Some examples can only be fictional, but for example how other countries see the "Untied Sates of America". They see it as a place for freedom and happiness for them to escape to. Another example would have to be the fictional world "Atlantis", where an undersea society was lost but was supposedly the most beautiful and wonderful society by myth. The word "Utopia" was first used by Sir Thomas More (1516), He explained it as a "Fictional Island int the Atlantic Ocean".



However there is a word that exist that is the opposite, "Dystopia" by the defintion from 'Google" it means "An imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one". "Dystopia" for my understanding is a world where only cruel and crime tends to happen, the world lacks hope and faith, you could see it in the citizens who live there if you could. For example, How countries such as india are. Where death and rape increase everyday, how the people living there are terrified every day dying from starvation and dehydration. There are many places in this cruel world where you can compare to a "Dystopia".

Blog #1 -Autobiographical


Autobiographical

 Hello, Ladies and Gentleman.

               My name is Stephanie Angelique Ramsaran, and I'm here to let you know a little about myself. As you can tell by my last name I have a unique background, I happen to be Guyanese. If many of you don't know where that is, it is located in South America, right under Brazil. My Mother had came to America around the age thirteen; she lived in New York until she was about twenty, and then happened to move to Florida. As  where my mother  had me and my older sister Samantha,  My sister and I are only about a year apart, you can wonder how my mother took care of both of us as a single mom, you can say she’s pretty strong. As I’ve grown I’ve realized to appreciate the little things and, therefore be happy with what you receive. I'm pretty much dedicated in what I do and or my goals I’ve grown with little and I strive for more. I guess you can say I'm outgoing at times, I can kind of seem like I don't give a damn about the world and or you but that's pretty much a lie I don't know why but I'm kind of nice. I’m that down-to-earth kind of gal, I don't judge and I take everything ever easy. When you get to know me all you need to know is that I laugh at anything, it can be from you saying a corny joke or being in a bad situation, I always find a way to laugh. If you don't believe that girls can like video games, comics, basically you know geeky stuff, then start believing I'm one of those girls. As I’ve grown I had produced the habit in wanting to major in vetinary, I adore animals ever since I was a little girl. I am truly dedicated to help animals by either becoming a vet or working in marine biology. Ive had about three dogs since i was little and i would pretend to play doctor, trying to help them, it is my dream to help out animals. Well that's pretty much it, that's all you have to know

                                                                                                                                    
 Have a good day.
- Stephanie.
