Star Wars

     Star Wars is one of my favorite fictional universes. It explores the interesting world of space travels and evil ruling organization. There are many more avid fans of this series than just myself. Many fans get into altercations about how aspects of the universe should be interpreted. One of the age old debates is how canon and non-canon books should be interpreted. Many people just throw out the non-canon books because they have no effect of the canon universe, but they still interpret many ideas that the canon universe hasn't answered yet. I have read some of the non-canon texts and I find them very fun to read.
     Another argument many people get into is a massive plot hole: why are the Rebels rebelling against the empire. At face value, there isn't anything that they Empire is doing that is morally wrong or discriminatory. Therefore, there shouldn't be scruples against the Empire form the Rebels. The only point I see you could make is that they blew up a planet with the Death Star. When the Empire did that, the planet who hosting rebels, it only makes sense that the rid their problems at one time. No matter how I see it, I just can't deride the Empire for anything.

    I love Star Wars as well!! Star Wars does bring up some questions that I still haven't had answered, so yes the plot can get very confusing at times.

    Star Wars is so amazing!!! I have come with lots of theories about some plot holes like these. If you want to see the best theorists, watch Super Carlin Brothers on Youtube. They have amazing theories, and a bunch about Star Wars. My theory about Rebels vs Empire is that the war has gone on for so long, that they forgot the source, and just keep fighting.
    I can't wait for The Last Jedi!!

    I am also a huge fan of Star Wars. I personally believe it is way better than Star Trek. Now about the empire. I believe that they rebel largely because they remember how the Empire gained control, and some comic books of Star Wars reference high taxes on the working class citizen.

Are you distracted by technology?

     To answer this plainly, No, I am not distracted to technology. I honestly work better on a computer or iPad than on paper. I find it easier and more efficient to work with others using technology. Technology allows us to be miles apart and be working on the same virtual piece of paper. This can be seen as a huge benefit to collaboration and cooperation. I would even say that technology allows me to stay more focused on what I am working on. I am able to listen to helpful music and look up helpful tips while getting the work done in a timely manner, albeit it does have its drawbacks.      I think that technological distraction results from irresponsibility. I believe the term technology is too broad for this prompt. I believe that the entirety of technology can't be distracting, but I do believe in certain situations it can be distracting. For example, while trying to do homework, some people might feel the need to check their phone every ten seconds because they just posted s

Research Update

     Between our Social Studies and English classes, I have been working on a joint research paper. The topic I chose was Karl Marx relationship with Russian communism. I have found this topic to be very interesting thus far. I think a lot of people get confused about what communism actually is. Communism is a socioeconomic system that is supposed to benefit the proletariat or working class people. This system seems good in theory, but it has its problems. It all starts off with the criticism of Capitalism, the current dominant economic system. They say that the Bourgeois, middle class, are only making the proletariat suffer through the economic system through taking advantage of them.       Communism really boils down to one key economic prospect: the abolition of private property. The communist argument goes that since the Bourgeois own the means of producing goods, The Bourgeois can and are taking advantage of the proletariat. Through this process, the proletariat are becoming more

Final Fantasy XV: A Beautiful Piece of Art

     Over Christmas break, I played many video games. One video game in particular struck me in a new way. This game was Final Fantasy XV . Final Fantasy XV  take place in the fantasy world of Eos, which is split between two countries, Niflheim and Lucis. The game follows Noctis, the prince of Lucis, and his friends as they go on a journey to reclaim their homeland. This has been one of the best games I have played ever. The story is great and it develops the characters really well. Not only that, there is so much to do in Eos. It ranges from have lunch at a cafe to fighting off daemons at night. The game is incredibly diverse and there is so much for the player to do.      One of the things that make this game especially great is its character development. Noctis, the main character, is only in his twenties. The game shows this very clearly as Noctis doesn't have the best judgement in the world. In fact, no character in this game is portrayed to be completely perfect. These flaws
