The Cycle Of The Hero: The call to adventure is when Obiwon calls Luke to go to save Princess Leia. The 2 robot helpers were c3po and R2D2 they helped a lot because R2D2 held the message from Leia and cp30 could talk to R2D2. The first big test they faced was when they went to save princess Leia on the ship called the Death Star. They get into a shooting battle with the strom troopers and save princess Leia ,but before they could get out of the Death Star the fall into the garge place and it starts to close on them ,but right before they get kill C3PO tops the walls from coming in and saves them. Then they get out of there in the place ship ,but Obiwon gets killed to save them. The two helepers were Hon Solo and Chewy. The triump is when Luke wants to become apart of the good people so they go to blow up the Death Star and when all his troops die becaus the get shot down Obiwon tells Luke to use the force but right before luke gets shot Hons Solo shoots down and enemy ship and saves them. The flight is when Luke blows upthe Death Star and is on his way home from it and is very happy because he has become a hero to many people for blowing up the Death Star. The threshold sruggle is when Luke returns home from the mission and is happy ,but i little sad because r2d2 is in pretty beat up shape c3po is probably more sad because that was his best friend. The Elixir is when Luke becomes a very big hero and gets rewarded for his bravery and everyone is happy.
Literary Archetypes
Heros and Antiheros I believe Luke is the hero because he is always the brave one that wants to do the right thing he saved Leia from Darth Vador and the death star. I believe the antihero is Han because he doesnt believe in the force and is in it for the money and not just because he is doing the right thing.
The Wise Fool I believe that Obewon is the wise fool because he is very very samrt and powerful but nobody believes in what he says everyone thinks he is crazy and they think he is dumb. Obewon is really probably the samrtest person in the story.
The Devil Figure I believe the devil figure is Darth vador he is bad because he is mean to lots of people he use to be nice but turned mean when emporor captured his wife and made Darth kill her in a way.
The Outcast I Believe they outcast is Chewbaca everyone makes fun of Chewy and he makes weird noises and is kinda dumb. Chewy is a big help mostly case he is bigger than everyone but he really sometimes gets in the way.
The double I Believe the double is Darth vador because way back in the day he was good but turned evil when the emporor captured his wife and made him kill her in a way after that he got burned bad and had to wear that suit so he looks mean and nobody really likes him but he has a softspot cause he killed the emoporor to save Luke.
The Scapegoat I believe obiwon is the scapegoat obiwon is brave enough to kill himself to make Luke stronger so that he will have the force and join the Jeti.
The Temptress I believe is princess Leia because she is beautiful and smart she does brind destruction because she was captured by the death star Luke blows it up and they all die.
The Good Mother I also believe that Leia is the good mother because she is smart and helps Luke become stronger threw the hole thing and she is very nice.
THE TRAGIC MAN:
A Belief In His Own Freedom
Yes he makes his own choices because he choses to go to the dark side he didnt have to do it he also kills the emporor becuase he somethimes did the right thing
A Supreme pride
Darth has lots of power and thinks he is unstoppable ,but he is not because he has a softspot. Darth thinks of himself as the best in the hole world and that he could destroy anything.
Capacity for Suffering
He use to be a powerful person in the Jeti ,but then his wife dies and he joins the Dark Side he really wants to destroy the rebel base and princess Leia and that base because of his son Luke he cant.
A Sense of Commitment
He never committed to the Dark side or the Jeti because he quit the Jeti and joined the dark Side. He also never committed to the Dark side either becuase he kills the emporor and saves his son.
Vigorous Protest
He is mad becuase Luke and Obiwon save the princess and blow up the death star this makes him mad because they are apart of the rebel group and he hates the Rebel group. Then he lets Luke see his face because Luke is his son.
Transfiguration
i do believe he went threw and transfiguration becuase he at the end of the movie he saves Luke and kills the emporor by pushing him down when he is trying to kill Luke.
Impact
Darht Vador lifed and tragic life because he kinf od had to jion the dark side to try so safe her life and then he jions the dark side. The best thing he ever did was save Luke.
Heros:
Luke is a hero because he is brave, strong hearted, and a leader. Luke risks his life for a princess that he barly even nose and he belives Obiwon when everyone thinks he is crazy. He takes big chances and the pay off in the end because he becomes one of the best jeti ever even better than his dad before he went to the dark side.
Theme: i think the theme of the movie is love even though Darth vador is on the dark side he saves his son. Another thing that showed love was when Luke saved his sister and helped her out. Luke also loved the 2 robots because he never wanted anything to happen to them and they helped him out threwout the hole story.

Austin, your best answer your analysis of Literary Archetypes. I was especially impressed with your explanation of why Obi Wan is the wise fool and the scapegoat. In the Cycle of the Hero, you needed to address the supreme ordeal which comes right at the Threshold Struggle -- this was at the end of the last movie we watched when Luke, Vader, and the Emperor were involved in that life-or-death struggle. You did pretty well describing Vader as a Tragic Man, but I am not real clear on whether you think he meets all of the crteria.
ReplyDeleteYou chose appropriate hero traits but didn't explain them all. Your answer about theme was ok.
You have earned a B on the Star Wars test.
