2.  What is one event, character, or plot element that is similar to a modern text/film? Explain.

The impatient/ younger waiter reminds me of Massie from the series The Clique. She can never wait on anyone, and it is always about her. Her friends are just like her, while a new comer enters their group, they have gotten a whole lot meaner and bossier. Just like in the story, he yells at the old death man to go home.

VIDEOS.

I thought that the café was going to be bigger and brighter. It didn't stand out to me as much as I thought it would. I feel like the screen shots are very long, but I like it, because I get to really pay attention to them. I think that they kept it like that because they wanted them to make sure they get a good look at the outside. The Young Waiter wasn't what I thought he was going to be either. I thought he would be better looking, but that is just my opinion. The other to people in this film are pretty much what I thought they would be. When I read the paper, it was pretty much the same thing as the video, but I just got to see how they really sounded, and how they what there expressions were. 

Although I found those things, I thought that the beginning music was a sad type, well that’s at least what I thought. It makes me get in a sad mood, I feel really bad for the old man, and I feel like the Middle Aged Waiter feels bad too. The lighting is reminds me of daytime, and not 2 o’clock in the morning. The lighting towards the end is depressing. The lighting in the other café kind of scares me, but it is much bigger, and it isn't as depressing. The voice over is low and sad. 

Sleepers?

Author’s Note: In this piece, I decided to research Why People Sleep? It has been such a curious topic to me.

What would we do without sleep? Think about it, every night we clear out 8 hours of our days to just sleep. Why do we do this? Why do our bodies need sleep? Couldn’t we spend those 8 hours doing something more productive. In this essay you will learn about why humans need sleep to survive and why sleeping is so essential.

One reason we need sleep is for our well-being. Our bodies need to sleep just like they need to eat, and drink, and breath to survive. Sleeping lets our bodies rest from a long day and relax. Our bodies were not made to be moving and active all the time. Everyone needs their sleep because if they don’t they will get cranky and their bodies will collapse because of exhaustion. We as humans our up on our feet and moving constantly, our bodies just can’t keep up with our busy lifestyles without sleep. According to the New York Time’s survey that they took in 2012 90% of Americans don’t get enough sleep. To survive we as humans need to sleep to rest our bodies to maintain our well-being.

Although one of the main reasons we as humans need to sleep is because we need to rest our bodies another main reason we need sleep is because we need a break from our long days. According to curiousity.discovery.com dreaming is an opportunity to work out your emotional problems and experience your memories. Also according to the same site your dreams only occur in the first 90 minutes of sleeping which is when your body reenergizes the most. Lastly when we sleep our bodies reenergize, adjust hormone levels, promote morning alertness, and regulate feelings of hunger. A main part of why humans sleep is because of dreaming and because our bodies need to reenergize.

Sleeping is something that our bodies need to survive, without it we would be too lazy to every do anything because we were so exhausted. Yes exercising and being active is good, but without rest, none of us could do that. Without sleep we would be a reckless mess.
