Palpatine

Great Essays
The movie opens with Palpatine addressing the Jedi Council. He informs them that the Senate believes the Jedi can no longer protect them from the oncoming enemies that face them and that the galaxy requires a military to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Come nightfall, we see Obi-Wan returning to the place where his master died, causing him to relive the tragic event. From this, we are reminded that Obi-Wan holds himself responsible for Qui-Gon’s death, as he abandoned his master to help Padmé, who has moved on from him.
At the meeting, Obi-Wan is hurt even more because he is forced to sit across from his former love and her new boyfriend. With the weight of his mistakes on his shoulders, Obi-Wan grows miserable and exits the room. Despite having a great time, himself, Anakin sees Obi-Wan leave the room and, as a good friend would, runs after him.

    The Pros And Cons Of Human Cloning

    Cloning is a sin in front of god because in the bible it says “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them “Genesis 1:27. God created people in his own image, and for babies to be created in mother’s womb, in the natural way not in a test tube. Anyone who follows God and believes in the bible should not say cloning is right especially just for organ donation, because nobody should take away the life of another person because only God can take away lives. Men did not create our life but God did so a man should not have any right to take anybody’s life because only the creator can take what he gave ys therefore killing clones for donation purpose is murdering and it should be a crime. If people keep on cloning to save their loved ones or in the memory of them, then the generation is not going anywhere because we are going to keep on cloning the people that were here.…

    Throughout the short story by Chinua Achebe “Dead Man’s Path” there are forms of irony, symbolism, and views which set the tone and background for the story. In the opening, we see a young man by the name of Michael Obi who has just received a job as the headmaster of an “unprogressive” school in what appears to be Africa in 1949. This town has religious ties as well as strong family roots. This society is not very welcoming of new and progressive ideas which makes this story unfold into a great cataclysmic display of irony. The central theme is that we should all be more tolerant of our neighbors no matter their beliefs or intellects.…
