Star Wars, a film for nerds like myself, i grew up watching this old classic film and i still loved it. I still buzz out on the whole special effect thingy that they used back in 1977 like wow that's still buzzing. Sadly i didn't get to watch this in class with the rest of my other peers due to sickness but lucky im a big fan of the Star Wars troilogy, i have a dvd collection of the Oringal trilogy. My favourite character in the oringal Star Wars troilogy has to be Luke Skywalker, because he's really cool and because his a hero figure and simply because he's just the main man to watch in the movie. In 2008, Empire Magazine selected Luke Skywalker as one of the top 100 Greatest Movie Characteristics of All Time, which is pretty damn awesome if i may add. In the movie Luke fulfills a number of the characteristics that you see, he plays as a young man and that has special powers and abilities that are brought out by a series of teachers. (Jedi Marsters) Ultimately, he was a determined character in all his trainings, he had to know and feel the force iwth emotion inorder to become a Jedi. In every movie there's always a good guy and bad guy, for me i always go for the good guys who always save the world and all, which i think is pretty awesome. In Star Wars Luke Skywalker is protrayed as the 'good guy' in this movie and Darth Vadar is obviously the bad guy in this movie as well, which is predictable in how every movie nowadays, always has the good guy beating the bad at the end. Watching this movie i've learnt that Luke Skywalker constantly faces alot of challenges that would test any mortal. The responsibility for either destroying the Empire's superweapon, the Death Star, or seeing it destroy the backbone of the Rebellion; learning patience at the hands of Jedi Master Yoda, yet having to choose between completing his training or trying to rescue his imperiled friends; facing the horrifying truth of his parentage, and then instantly deciding what path to take; and finally taking the nearly unimaginable risk that there was still some goodness deep within the dark soul of one of the galaxy's most evil warriors (Darth Vadar). Darth Vader's black cloak and helmet, or his estranged conflict with his son certainly fit that description. I certainly like his characteristic in the Star Wars movie as well, i like how as he's a bad ass and and how he's pretty ruthless and scary but at the same time. (use to get me nightmares when i was little lol) Luke Skywalker.. Though originally an immature, superficial youth, Luke is called by a strong sense of duty and a desire to be a part of something larger than himself, which gets him brownie points in the leadership category. Through the help of Yoda, Luke learned how to master his emotions and put the greater good above his personal gain or satisfaction. Another Character from another movie that had some of the same characteristics as Luke Skywalker is Rocky Balboa.
Rocky Balboa's characteristics were kind of similar to Lukes when it came to trainings. Rocky was another determined character in his trainings inorder for him to be the heavyweight champion. And what also made these two distinctive characteristics the same was there ability to become good listeners. Both of them had there ability to listen carefully to there trainers while they were given there task.

OK it's great that you've finally started the blog and there's a lot of good stuff here. BUT there are two things that you need to watch out for. First of all, while the blog should be "conversational" it doesn't mean that you can just write freeform without checking anything. Be careful of garbled words which come from typing too quickly and not checking -
ReplyDeleteFor example "words" like "oringal", "Marsters", "iwth" show me that you're not actually paying attention - these would be easy to fix if you read through the blog one time before hitting upload.
Secondly, please don't fall into the trap of copying and pasting whole chunks of text without putting quote marks around it or acknowledging the source. The example below from your entry is from another website - it's not your writing. I don't mind if you use it, but put it in quote marks and put the URL at the bottom of the entry. This will get you a better, not a worse, mark.

Hi Samson,
ReplyDeleteThe blog assignments are now complete for the semester and you only have 4 out of 10 entries, which is obviously a fail. Can you please complete the rest of the entries before the end of semester? There won't be any extensions granted after that point.
