Luke's Tragic Hero: A Short Story

“Small town big heart,” they say locked away behind their cold immaculate castle gates that rest on the remains of the previous farmland and plains. The collective heart beats but only at a convenient time suiting parties involved. “A place where everyone matters,” they utter as their motto in indistinguishable monotone voices. The people are too wrapped up in their everyday lives to ever be concerned about their neighbor, they look through life with gilded glasses. It’s as if a fog had descended slowly creeping into their view distorting what they once held most dear.

Luke is the third child of a farmer’s family, and propaganda deeply interfered with his life. Ever since he was a toddler, he was obliged to a strict set of rules from his paranoid parents. “Then they started running all that on TV about the Population Police, how the Population Police had ways of finding out everything, how they’d do anything to enforce the law… And your dad started hearing rumors in town, about other babies...” (10-11) Luke’s mother replied to his questioning. His mother was telling him about the government’s propaganda, the propaganda they had believed. Luke’s parents fell right into the government’s trap of lies. Therefore, Luke was forbidden from watching TV, using the computer, or calling someone on the phone, blocking him from the outside world. Being a farmer’s third child practically meant Luke was clueless when it came to real life. The doctrines of the government changed Luke’s life.

Society is built up of a group of individuals who are organized into a community based off of similar beliefs and values regardless if that is religiously, culturally or other purpose based. In every society there are rules and regulations established, norms created and punishments carried out for members participating in deviant activities. In the movie Cool Hand Luke directed by Stuart Rosenberg, Lucas Jackson the main character is painted as a non-conformist after destroying parking meters while under the influence and thus is sentenced two years in prison. In the new environment Luke soon learns that this correctional prison consists of numerous rules that must be abided by and if not, must be faced with harsh punishment.

Luke Skywalker is a pop culture hero to children and adults alike. However, have you ever thought what makes Luke a hero? Luke, throughout his journey, has faced many obstacles. For example, having to destroy the Death Star or having to fight strong foes like Darth Vader. He also has to deal with the emotional scar of the evil man, Darth Vader, being his father. Luke, however, did not have to fight through this journey alone. He had the help of Obi-Wan, Han Solo, Princess Leia, C3-PO, Chewbacca, R2D2, and others. Luke has many definable traits that could make him be considered a hero, however, I believe his most prominent traits are his bravery and selflessness, but he has the weakness of not being able to control his emotions well.

Its Passover and I’m flying over a table in an empty room all by myself until I hear a noise. Twelve men including Jesus Christ walk in and sat down. Jesus took a seat at the end of the table talking to the other twelve. They were all talking to each other and having a good time. Jesus Christ, sitting at the end of the table, told all of the men around the table to the, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me”. I didn’t know what he was talking about at first until One of the men stood up and replied,” Surely not I, Rabbi?”. Jesus then turned to the man and said, “yes, it is you.” everyone continued to eat and converse with each other until Jesus took the loaf of unleavened bread, stood up, and declared to all the men at the table,”

By the time Peter arrived at the castle the sun was close to setting. He sat down in the solar to read for a little before Adelina came to collect him so they could walk to the chapel together. Afterwards, they walked back to the castle and Adelina finished preparing the deer meat that Peter had caught that day. They didn't like to waste time in eating fresh meat, as it would go off quickly. Adelina was a great cook and Peter loved the vegetables she prepared from the gardens. The two of them ate the meal and chatted about how the estate was going.

When the rain stopped and the sun started to come out, I finally went to my car. I opened the driver’s side door, sat down, and closed it. I banged my hands on the dashboard multiple times and screamed. The tears came back, streaming down my face as if they were rivers themselves. When at last there were no more tears left to flow out, I turned my head towards the bridge and for the last time, I glared out at the spot where she stood before her

“Then you must take up your well-shaped oar and go on a journey until you come where there are men living who know nothing of the sea,” said Teiresias, a famous blind prophet.

Three grueling days of marching. until we arrived at a small village. To the center plaza we marched, many of the frightened and confused villagers had gathered there. The legate leading the legion began reading a memoir written by a team of scouts on the horrid atrocities the Hunnic hordes have committed. We needed their support in the fight so they would agree to supply us with the provisions that had been rapidly depleting. Just before he had finished a scout rode into the plaza bloodied and battered he warned us of the Huns and there overwhelmingly large force before finally dying of his injuries. The villagers began to panic and some fled with their belongings. The Legate tried to comfort them telling them we can ensure their safety. We fortified the town built an castra. It was all we could do. Later that evening after I took a small excursion I could see the torches and the yurts atop the craggy mountain. It also became apparent that the terrain advantage they had could not be overcome by our inferior numbers. Evan so the legate informed us we would begin marching on the hill the next morning. I couldn't sleep knowing that death awaited us the at dawn. I went to the mess hall for a hiatus. While there a centurion asked me to take his shift at night watch. I humbly complied.

Minerva sighed her placement in the tournament bracket was not ideal, as she had to wait to fight she wanted to be one the first fights but alas, she realized it too late, Sin had kept her far too long in bed. The thought was agonizing when she saw the name, Wolf? "Who is that?" ".I can’t remember...what does he look like?" She closed her eyes, expanded her con-sciousness as she surveyed the empire looking for Wolf, if he was an extremely powerful fighter he would have a bright aura, instead all she finds is darkness, she cannot seem to find him, anywhere in the empire. "Are you that, wolf, have you returned to me? After all these years."

The Hero Myth resides in the character Luke Skywalker, who is like any other average American. He is introduced in Act I as a farm boy on Tatooine who wants to leave home to go to the Academy, and start his own adventure. This is similar to teenagers in American society who want to move out after they graduate, and go away to college to gain their freedom and start their own lives as adults. A hero’s journey may be similar to a real life person, however Luke Skywalker will be living more than just a normal life, but a life of a hero that will determine the fate of the galaxy. His adventure begins when the catalyst occurs in the story that involves the hero receiving important news that will change his original goal in life which was going to

Luke’s planet could have orbited both stars if the planet was far enough when it started. Each star has its own gravity well and could potentially cause close enough planets to be pulled into either star. This could happen due to changes in the positions of th revolving strts. There is a chance though that the planet is far enough away so it can revolve around just one or both star depending on the gravity well.

He set up many types of traps to get Luke to come to the dark side to join with Vader. He also killed his son, but not willing to do it. He destroyed another ship and he did not realize that his son was flying the ship. Vader tried to freeze Luke in Carbonite to try to make him come to the dark
