Immortality

Age Defying Make Up
People believe that certain make up can make your skin look younger. The advertisements say that this make up has the ability to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles and make your skin look younger and smoother in just 5 days. They have come up with alll sorts of things to help you look younger. They have moisturizures, foundations, blushes, eyeshadows, and lip stick.



On the other hand there are people who believe these products dont work so they say use whatever makeup you have and keep it simple. They say things as easy as using liquids instead of powders can make you look younger because the liquids look more natural where as powders can settle into line and make you look older.

Themes

One of the themes could be love. Luke loves his father even though his father has never been there for him. Luke loves being a good guy so much that when the Emperor told him to kill Vader he was strong enough to say no, even if he really wanted to kill Vader.

Another theme could be good vs. evil. Good vs evil in shown by person to person. Luke and Darth Vader fight, but it is also shown within the same person. Darth Vader battles with his feelings. He is on the dark side but when he sides with Luke I'm sure he had to think about it. A person cant say Im on the good side today but tomorrow ill be bad. Thats not how things work.

Star Wars Analysis

Cycle of the Hero:
Luke is the hero we are following through this cycle. The call to adventure happens when Obi Wan directly asks Luke to go to Elderan with him. C3PO, R2D2 and Obi Wan are the helpers. They help him fight and get through the struggles. Tests would include the death of his aunt and uncle and the fight in the bar. The triumph is obviously the battle between good and evil. I believe the flight is the battle between Luke and his father because Luke had just figured out that Vader was his father. The threshold struggle is the moment the Emperor tries to kill Luke because Vader realizes he needs to be a father to Luke rather than an enemy. I'm not sure what to put for the elixir but i think its when Luke returns from destroying the death star.

Literacy Archetypes:
Hero: Luke. He does things for the right reasons.

Antihero: Han Solo. He does the right thing for the wrong reasons. He wants to be paid.

The Wise Fool: Obi Wan. Some people think hes crazy but he is very wise and correct.

The Devil Figure: The Emperor. He is the one who convinces people to cross to the dark side.

The Outcast:

The Double: Darth Vader. He plays the evil side as Vader but he also plays the good side in the end when he acts as Lukes father instead of Lukes enemy.

The Scapegoat:

The Temptress: The force. Everyone wants a piece of it but only few find and believe in the force.

The Good Mother: Princess Leia. She supports and cares.
