Blog 18: Expanded Outline


      I.        Intro to Show
a.    Explain dollhouse technology
b.    Explain how it evolves
c.    Impact on the world
    II.        Scene 1
a.    Use the scene at the end of "Epitaph One" where Caroline in the little girl’s body says, “It was playing with matches and they burned the house down.”
   III.        Analysis 1
a.    Shows how dangerous the Dollhouse technology was and a perspective of the surviving characters looking back at what happened and what went wrong.
                                          i.    The destroyed city
                                         ii.    Pictures of people lost
b.    The metaphor of the match helps my argument because a match is useful when used responsibly and carefully, but can cause destruction when not.
  IV.        Scene 2
a.    Scene from “Epitaph Two” where the “tech heads” are all able to upload different skills to their brain.
    V.        Analysis 2       
a.    This shows a bastardized version of the great advancements  the dollhouse technology could have brought to the world.
  VI.        Implications (argument, real world connection)
a.    A real world connection is the atomic bomb that was created in World War II. I think it fits well, because it is an example of a technological advancement that didn’t have the proper foresight and was later regretted.
b.    The writers of Dollhouse use the change of the dollhouse technology, from something seemingly good and amazing into something horrible and destructive, to argue that if new fields of study do not have proper foresight and regulation they can cause massive amounts of destruction.

1.    Intro
a.    What the atomic bomb is and why it was created
b.    Other benefits of the technology
2.    Claim 1 (Intro, pros, cons, case study, analysis)
a.    If you are not careful with technology and do not have the proper foresight to develop it then it can cause a large amount of destruction.
3.    Claim 2
a.    Technology is neutral and can often be used for both good and bad, but it’s the people who choose how it will be used.
