The Galactic civil war portrayed in the original Star Wars trilogy is one of the most well known, if not the most well known fictional conflict in science fiction. You can ask anyone who the good guys and bad guys are, and what each side was fighting for, and most everyone will be able to give the canonically correct answer: The Rebel Alliance fights to destroy the evil Galactic Empire, and to reinstate the republic. The Star Wars story has become so popular that even football and baseball fans…

Based on the book Song Of The Buffalo Boy by Sherry Garland, the theme is “Never give up” Some possible reasons for this being the theme is how in the beginning, the steps Loi takes to be with Khai instead of marrying Officer Hiep, in the middle how she lived on the streets of Saigon, and finally at the end how all her earlier efforts payed off. One reason why the theme is “never give up” is how she tried to change Officer Hiep’s opinion on marrying her. She changed the recipe and ingredients…

same basic storyline. Star Wars: A New Hope and Arthurian Legend both have a very similar storyline; however, there are a few differences.

In retrospect, I have never not known a time in my life where Star Wars hasn’t existed for me. Star Wars, released in 1977, was a low-budget science fiction film that was sort of a pet project from its creator, George Lucas. Unbeknownst to Lucas, the film became a commercial success and a cultural phenomenon. Having been born in 1997, I wasn’t alive at the time where Star Wars had been released. I had never experienced first-hand the infamous twist that Darth Vader was actually Luke Skywalker’s…

stigma involved in this culture. I am going to discredit some of the stereotypes. The stigma I address of is what individuals normally think of as the “nerd of comic books”. You know the type: kind of an underdog, a Star Wars or comic book fanatic, unaware of the superior world around them. Superhero movies mutually aided and affected this. I want to make this clear, I definitely enjoy these movies and I consider that the movies are more suitable rather than unhealthy. I think that superhero…

family intervened. He played a crack addict in Jungle Fever after finishing his recovery. "It was a funny kind of thing," Jackson remarked, and he went on to say that playing the part was therapeutic. Within a week after my discharge from rehabilitation, I arrived at the site, and we were prepared to begin filming. The jury at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival created a new "Supporting Actor" award in his honor due to the widespread praise for his performance. After this part, Jackson appeared in…

That same year after 13 years of playing for the NBA Michael Jordan announced that he was retiring from basketball for the second time ("Chronology of Sports (1999).”). The year I was born the Denver Broncos won the super Bowl which is funny because growing up my dad was big Broncos fan and tell I decided to go my own way I was a broncos fan as well. That year the New York Yankees won the World Series, San Antonio won the NBA Championship and Connecticut won against the Ducks at the NCAA men’s…

The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Fear Itself America is a country founded on immigration, and our principles promote freedom of religion. Most of us would not be here today if it were not for our ancestors immigrating here in the United States from elsewhere. The role of Islam in the America of the Founding Fathers was in the words of the Founding Fathers themselves. The Founders of this nation clearly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic, while establishing the…
