Kyle Xy Blog 4

Kyle confused about the human mind.
 Kyle looks like he is about sixteen years old, so the Tragers though it would be a good idea to put him in to high school. Kyle looked like he should be in around tenth grade so Kyle was made to take several tests and if he passed them he would be able to join the other kids in High school. Kyle passed all the tests with one hundred percent on all of the different types of tests. He could have not have even gone to school and earn a degree right there and would never of had to go to school. He rejected the instand degree and wanted to stay in school for one reason; to better understand the human mind. The human mind and how it works comes up many times in this show, and many questions pop up in every episode regarding different topics. Some examples are "Is it okay to lie?" or "how does one control their impulses?'" or even as simple as "What is music?" All these questions are asked and it makes one really wonder about the simplest questions and really puts things in a different perspective. The author of the show not only puts a major emphasis on the questions but also the lessons in life. Lessons that humans come up with in their own minds such as, "One can’t be liked until one likes themselves" or "One gets to decide who they are and no one else can take that away." Kyle Xy is a great show to look at the human mind and analyze it from the perspective of a mind with no memory or judgments on the outside world. Kyle tries to understand many things and analyzes them with conclusions that one does not normally think about. A different perspective on things can change the way people think, this show provides a great gateway to do so. The human mind is a difficult think to understand, Kyle calls it unpredictable, inconstant, but also balanced and reasonable at the same time.
