The thrilling Obi-Wan and Anakin #2 comes to us from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by the moving hand of Charles Soule and masterfully penciled by artist Marco Checchetto. The second part of the story takes us deeper into a tale of narrow escapes, battling tribes, and mysterious excursions into the dark recesses of the capitol world of the Republic. In Obi-Wan and Anakin #2, Master and Padawan find themselves stranded on an unfamiliar world. It’s a world of strange, primitive technology and dangerous natives. But even if they can save themselves...why were they called to this world? Writer Charles Soule does a wonderful job taking us on two different narrative journeys with Obi-Wan and Anakin #2. The first is a perilous one which finds

Throughout the Star Wars saga, Anakin Skywalker undergoes a major personality change. He transforms from an aspiring youth into the Padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi, finally becoming a Sith Lord. He accomplished all of this in three movies. Obi-Wan inspired the young Anakin to become a Jedi Knight and Darth Sidious convinced him to transfer loyalties to the Dark Side of the Force. Skywalker also shows how a single idea can change all of a character’s life. One of Ray Bradbury’s classics, from three-fifths of a century ago, contains a character who changes in reverse of that of Anakin. Guy Montag, from Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury, undergoes an alteration from bad to good in his book. Montag experiences a character change from
The way that Reston told the story in Warriors of God was very well done. He would tell a chapter from Richard’s point of view and then one from Saladin’s.
In addition to, revolutionizing characters, Stan Lee made many of his comic books intricate and interesting compared to simple boring comic books in the past. His intricate comics had to do with his...
This book is a great example the popular fiction genre of children’s books. It is designed to appeal to the middle school aged child, which it does an excellent job of from the cover art, to the different fonts, and ‘rumpled’ look of the pages. While the Star Wars reference inherent in the Yoda and light saber may deter a few readers who are not fans of the movie, those who take the book off the shelve will be hooked from the opening line; The big question, “Is Origami Yoda real?” What young teen doesn’t wish they had a magic way to get answers to the many questions shared by kids across time - “Yoda, can you tell me how to hit a home run? I want to be a hero for once, right?“ or “Origami Yoda, why doesn’t Sara like me?“ Author Tom Angleberger gets right to the point in a straightforward, quick reading style that will keep the kids laughing and engaged. The dialogue is natural and suited to the characters. So much so that even adult readers will find themselves thinking back to middle school and remembering who a character reminds them of. Didn’t we all have a Dwight? The kid who was just plain weird? Angleberger’s references to Google and YouTube make today’s reader instantly able to relate. These same references will however eventually date the book, no one can be sure what the kids will relate to 20 years from now. The biggest draw back I see to the book is that its appeal from first glance is heavily slanted toward the male readers in the age group. I think girls, once reading it, will laugh just as hard and relate just as much but unless assigned the book in class, their odds of just picking the book off the shelve is significantly lower than for boys....

Do you know someone in the military? A loved one, a friend, do you know what they go through? I may not, but I do know about the harsh training and war that occurred for the Samurais and Knights. In Europe and Japan the empires were falling and Clans were taking over Japan. The government came up with an idea to create feudalism. There was an agreement in both Europe and Japan that exchanged land for protection. The similarities between Samurai and Knights were greater than the differences. This can be shown by looking at the three most similar areas: social position, training and armor, and life, honor, and death. The Samurai and Knights has their differences, but were the similarities greater than those differences.
Everyone who came on earth doesn't lives at the same place or same country. They live on different parts on earth to live to grow their family in different countries. If someone leaves their country or their house they have born in or grow up in they have a big reason behind it. Every country has different cultures, food, festivals, religion, and color of people. When the people of those countries decide to move to other country maybe because they were facing a lot of problems back home for example kidnapping, fights, war, for better future, for peaceful life.

Throughout literature, there is a prevalent model found in various narratives that ensures its success. This archetype, called the “journey of the hero,” discovered by Joseph Campbell, serves as a guideline of three stages for authors to manipulate to their own desire. The departure, the initiation, and the return essentially create the same storyline, yet these formats can be molded into unique and refreshing works of art. Aspects of the “journey of the hero” in the movie Shrek 2 are highlighted as the main hero, Shrek, and his wife Princess Fiona depart from their accustomed residence, the swamp, rediscover the meaning of true love through peril, and return with Shrek being able to balance his identity between an ogre and royalty.
But any author can capture the essence of two societies and illustrate the opposites in two opposing characters.
Overall, Faulkner masterfully blends several elements of literature with his own personal flair, producing a novel simmering with the life and story of the characters. His round-about narration technique, paired with his stream of consciousness writing, produce a twisted, difficult plot line, complete with complex and eccentric characters, all within the bounds of a single novel.
Throughout time people have been immigrating for reasons afar. In search of what or why I might ask brings upon many controversial issues. How a person chooses to immigrate is totally dependent upon what kind of opportunities are at hand. There are a very few immigrants who immigrate to places where connections are absent.
In Tosa Nikki, it is evident that those who are on the journey to Tosa do not want to go away from the capital. For those who live in the capital, it is the center of their lives. To leave it means that they lose their status and that they must live in a society that they consider second class. Not only are they dismayed by leaving their home, they are in tears due to leaving a child whom had died. Their journey is full of sadness and has no source of positive thoughts and feelings. For Oku no Hosomichi, it is evident that Matsuo Basho is excited to leave. This journey was what he had wanted to do for a while but did not have an opportunity to do so. To leave the grandeur and materialistic world that the capital encompassed was important to him as a monk. He was to follow a path where impermanence is key and any worldly longing...
