“Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones” Star Wars is a testament to film excellence.

The short story by Stephen Crane, “An Episode Of War,” talks about a lieutenant’s wound in war. The first irony is that the lieutenant is not shot in combat but while distributing coffee. No name given nor what war it is.

figures and events. For instance, George Lucas’s Star Wars films are a pastiche of various other films, and they also serve as a cache of inspiration for future filmmakers. When the first Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope, was released in 1977, the film industry had little direction because of the influence of big businesses and Wall Street along with the disintegration of the Motion Picture Production Code. In fact, Star Wars was one of the films that marked the beginning of a new

George Lucas is known for the creation of the Star Wars film series. Even if you have not seen every movie created in the series, you have at least heard about it.

desert of Tatooine. During the night, R2-D2 slips away to find Ben. Luke goes out to find R2, towing C-3PO along with him. They find R2, and, after an unfortunate event, Ben saves them. Ben explains that he used to be called Obi-Wan before the civil war, when he was a Jedi. He also tells Luke that his father, Anakin, was a Jedi before he was killed by Darth Vader himself. He explains the Force to Luke, and how Vader (who we find out is Luke’s father) was subdued by the evil part of the Force. Ben
the Civil War and he wrote many of his works surrounding them. The individuals that knew the war well, and who even fought in some of the battles, were shocked because of how accurately Stephen portrayed the battle techniques and feelings of the soldiers. Stephen Crane had never been in combat, so instead of writing about personal experience, he wrote based off of the interviews he conducted and by study photographs and accounts. Not only was Crane in the habit of writing on the Civil War, but he also

1. Introduction With the release of JJ Abrams’ Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens in late 2016 recording a staggering domestic gross of over $936 million (Box Office Mojo 2016), the Star Wars series continues to be one of the biggest pop culture icons of the 21st century.

In “The Finn Episode and Revenge in Beowulf” Martin Camargo states: The allusive manner of its telling has long taxed the abilities of philologists to determine the precise sense of the lines, while its position within the narrative has challenged the ingenuity of a growing number of critics who have sought to establish (or to question) its relevance. . . .(112) The Finn Episode begins with Hrothgar’s scop: the harp was plucked,
Undercurrents of Imperialism and Colonialism in Star Trek Star Trek mirrored the Cold War/Vietnam paranoia of the late sixties—in command of the Enterprise, the Federation had an uneasy peace with its adversaries, the Klingons and Romulans (there were many episodes that came down to Kirk vs. the Klingons). In one episode Kirk and his Klingon counterpart each tried to influence an emerging culture to see things their way—remember Vietnam, Chile, and El Salvador? In another, Kirk and Spock were
The Battle of Jutland Considered by most to be the greatest naval fleet battle during World War I, the Battle of Jutland was the largest and last full-blown conflict between massive fleets consisting of battle cruisers, dreadnoughts, and destroyers. Despite the fact that Jutland changed nothing strategically within the war, it is still known as being one of the most significant battles in naval history. But this battle was also one that ended with many questions and controversies that have been
Concealing Dalkey Hill: Evasion and Parallax in Nausicaa T.S. Eliot declared that Ulysses was a masterpiece because it demonstrated the futility of all prior literary styles. Indeed, the episodes of "Oxen of the Sun" and "Aeolus" could be taken as challenging primers on English style and rhetoric.

Cork derives from the Irish ‘Corcah Mor Mumham’ and means the ‘great Marsh of Munster’ and refers to the fact that the center of Cork city is built on islands, surrounded by the River Lee, which were marshy and prone to episodes of flooding.
