Star Wars Conflicts

A conflict can either be internal or external, which means either dealing with something inside the body such as the self, or it can be outside the body such as dealing with nature. The first example from Star Wars that I'm going to use is when Luke believes he is ready to be trained to be a jedi but Yoda doesn't think he is ready. This can either be a conflict between man and self or man vs. man. It would be man vs. self because he thinks too highly of himself and his abilities. He mind is telling him that he is ready for something that his body is not capable of doing. It would be man vs. human because Luke thinks he is ready to take on a task but Yoda doesn't think he is ready for it yet. Another example of a conflict in the movie is man vs. nature. Luke is very impatient when it comes to the force. He believes that everything should happen on his time, when in reailty, he must wait until it is his time.

Compared to Faith

It took me awhile to come up with a way in which my book related to faith. After some time thinking about the definition of faith, which is something you believe in that you can't prove, I found a way to compare my book. My book has a robot in it that humans have made. This robot is supposedly the last hope that humans have to continue their existence. By creating this machine, he is somehow supposed to make humans, or at least I think that's what the book is talking about and hinting at. The majority of the humans on earth don't even know for a fact that the robot exists though, they've gone by word of mouth because someone leaked out information. In this way, I think that the robot could sort of be the faith that some believe in, because they're going by what they've heard, not by what they've actually seen. No one is supposed to know about this ten billion dollar project and that's why he's sitting on another planet, until his return of course....

My book-pt 2

My book so far is still a bit confusing. I'm looking for ways to relate it to the short story we read it class but I can't see any ways of tying the two together. Maybe after a few more chapters I'll begin to understand more of what the book's point is and why it was written and then I can relate them. As far as any comparisions to anything other books or stories I've read, I can't see any thus far. By the end of this week I'd like to be at least three quarters of the way done with it and begin bringing all of the information together to understand it all.

The Star cont

The short story we read in class provoked alot of questions. Not only did it make us wonder about things we can see and can't see, but also brought up the topic of religion. It's amazing that a story as short as that was could bring up such topics that people disagreed on, like religion. Science fiction isn't even supposed to be real, but religion is a topic that is argued over every day and the way the author composed this story to relate to such things is really interesting to me. After the discussion we had in class, it gave me a new liking and viewpoint on it. Some of the details it described really confused me and it was a bit difficult to understand, but after discussing it and looking deeper into just the text itself, it gave it a new meaning.

In Class Story

The story we read in class was very interesting. He added alot of detail which made it more interesting as the reader. The way he relates other planets and an unknown world is very clever as well. I wish this story would've been written more like a book because all of the details he added made it enjoyable to read.

1st Blog

So far, my book has been kind of confusing. Every chapter is about a new subject so you have to pay very close attention to what is going on and try to remember what you've already read. So far, about ten characters have been introduced which also requires that you remember what each one has done up to this point.
