All I Need to Know I Learned from Pac Man
Pac Man is an enjoyable game. Simple in nature, it only requires Pac Man to survive the ghosts and eat power ups. That is a lot like life; nourish your body and survive any attacks to it. It is also science at its simple form: an unicellular organism floating along just trying to survive. Relating Pac Man to science seems boring, so why then is Pac Man so fun to play? And why do many other games developed after Pac Man employ the same concept? Maybe it is how the goal is reached and what different obstacles are thrown in our way that make it interesting. Or maybe it is just basic human nature.

Susan I like how you compared like simplicity of Pac Man to the simplicity of life. We really only need two things too survie, Nourishment and protection/survival. I never really thought of it like that and I like how you compared the too. It really opened my mind to start looking in depth at games that are simple and basic.
