Scariest Movie
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is probably the scariest movie I can remember from my childhood because my cousin tried to force me to watch it. I escaped from the room eventually and closed my eyes for however long I was in there, but the screams and the few seconds I did see scared me to death. Especially now that I am older and I realize that it was a true story and that actually happened to people in a community. It's disgusting and I hope I never encounter it ever again.

Bladerunner: Deckard Replicant vs. Human
Replicant
1. Finally Ridley Scott has revealed what for 18 years all the fan of B.R. have always suspected but of which certainties didn't exist. In the Director's cut version Deckard IS a Replicant! His dreams, in fact, (like the unicorn's dream) are only memories that were installed in his artificial mind exactly like those of Rachel. It could be understood by the fact that Gaff creates a small unicorn of origami and lets him to find it on his floor, leaving him to understand the truth.

2. Even the director coming forward and stating Deckard is a replicant (which he has done on several occasions) has done little to stop the ongoing debate. As he plays with our memories and questions what is real during the movie, some see the wicked gleam in his eyes when he makes the statement as indicating that he knows it will make no difference to the debate. In a 1982 interview, Scott says things like, "the central character could in fact be what he is chasing", "The innuendo is still there" and "I think it's interesting that he could be." All these suggest that the original intent was to get the audience to ask the question, but not necessarily to confirm it either way.

Human
1. Too be honest I didnt find much on Deckard being a human. The sites listed above explored both but more on the side of him being a replicant. I didnt want to BS this and put that I found stuff that I didnt.
Result
After reading through multiple websites and articles my final decision is that Deckard is indeed a Replicant. It all makes perfect sense with the Unicorn and the dream and his compassion towards Rachel.

What it means to be human quotes
"The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self." -Albert Einstein
"To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”-Bernard Edmonds
"Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."-Albert Einstein

Open Letter
Dear Human Geography class,
You are the most boring and confusing four hours of my week. You and the Instructer teaching don't know what your doing with your lives. You use really complicated words and you don't explain them. I fall asleep reading your text book and it makes me want to throw it out the window. I don't care about the contents of your class or your text book. I'm only taking it because I have to in order to graduate.
Literally im so lost. I completely failed your exam yesterday and it is going to kill my GPA. I try really hard to study your material and I constantly feel like nothing makes sense and I'm not getting anything out of it. So anytime you want to become a more fun, interesting, and easier to learn class let me know.
The guy I sit next to sometimes really smells, half the chairs are broken, you talk with a monotone voice and i feel like you literally just try to say the most complicated words and concepts and I cant keep up or understand. I hate you. bye.
