“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog 9
I decided to dedicate this blog to Timothy Tredwell, better known as the Grizzly Man. In watching his films in class, I began to find myself sympathizing with him. Timothy's life didn't go as planned and in several ways he didn't feel as if he belonged. He felt as if he was an outsider and an outcast to the human race. Eventually, as shown in the film "Grizzly Man," viewers can see Timothy truly begin to believe that he is in fact part of the bear family. The bears and other wildlife became his adopted family, and he fell in love with the beauty of grizzly territory. Unfortunately for him, his "family" did indeed consist of wild animals which in the end were the very cause of his death. Rest in Peace Timothy.
