series to watch based on these generalized descriptions alone. Does this not make Star wars seem more interesting? Secondly, the technology of Star Trek and Star Wars are quite different. Significantly, Star Wars has superior weaponry. Star Wars has lightsabers (highly dignified glowing swords that slice titanium doors like nuclear powered chainsaws), laser blasters, planet destroying canons, and mystical energy called “The force.” In Star Wars, most ships are capable of light speed, which can…

felt as if there were stories that had been locked away in a vault somewhere in my brain, and I had just been given the passcode, biometric override, and keycard to get inside. It was like a lightsaber had been put into my hands and I was told to go create a story with it. And I did. My pen was my lightsaber. And I started writing not just papers for the class, but on my own time carving letters and words into paper about an alternate dimension called “The Plazma Zone”. And even though that book…

No, what makes a hero is something much more than physical appearance but rather how well they reflect their culture. The concept of a hero is not a new one in fact it resonated through all human history, every civilization has had their own version of a hero.

In both Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Star Wars our protagonists Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker can each be considered a “chosen one” due to their characterizations. Each creator has followed a similar framework that structures their emergence to becoming a chosen one which results in noticeable parallels between the two. Neither of the boys have a comprehensive understanding of their own history, as they are both considered orphans who were raised by extended family, they also…

With visual effects and a compelling plot far beyond its day, it pushed the film industry to become more innovative, resulting in the multimillion dollar blockbusters we are so accustomed to today.
