Darksiders: Similarities And Differences

In the Original War Of Worlds (1953) is set in California, in a small town. When a fiery blaze meteor hits the earth, it suddenly sends the citizens there into panic. As the aliens start to “invade,” they begin shooting at everything and making everything/ everyone disappear. The director of this movie is Byron Haskin. It was released on August 26th, 1953. The new War of Worlds (2005) is directed by Steven Spielberg on the 29th of June in 2005. During both movies there are many similarities and differences between both alien attacks/invasions. Even with them both being a lot alike, personally I loved the 2005 version.

I chose the book and film, The War of the Worlds. There are many similarities and differences between these two works. A large difference between the book and movie is that the book takes place in England, while the movie takes place in the United States. The time periods are also much different, the book takes place in the late 20th century while the movie takes place in early 21st century. Another notable distinction is the change of the protagonist from a married, middle-class man without kids to a divorced working-class father of two children. The social setting plays a significant role in the plot. The main character's wife left him for a more wealthy and prosperous man. Her parents in Boston never liked him because he wasn't very successful

The Academy award winning movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, originally released as Star Wars, is a 1977 action packed, fanciful, thrilling space opera. Ably directed by George Lucas and distributed by Twentieth Century, Star Wars: A New Hope is among the most successful and influential films of all time. As well as, being selected to be preserved by the Library of Congress as part of its National Film Registry The first of 8 films in the Star Wars Saga is jam-packed with aliens, futuristic technology and supernatural abilities, such as the Millennium Falcon, Choobaka and of course, ‘The Force’.

The two stories both pit the idea of good against evil to explain the contrasting mechanisms of

In this 1997 film, George Lucas uses music to connect with the reader, clearly triggers the viewer's emotions, and uses colors to symbolize a classic theme: good vs. evil. First, if we carefully listen to the movies soundtrack, we see how different the music is in each situation with different characters. Second, we notice how effectively Lucas uses pathos to make us want to choose a side; good, or evil.

Herodotus, the author of histories, once said, “During times of peace, the sons bury their fathers, but in war it is the fathers who send their sons to the grave.” World War I was a lengthy and critical war which resulted in the death of millions. This ranked it along with the deadliest conflicts in human history. As a soldier during World War I, Richard Connell witnessed the darker side of man displayed by others during the war that influenced his writing of The Most Dangerous Game. Using metaphors, imagery and irony, he was able to demonstrate the ugliness within humanity and the way that the human mind can suffer from viewing such manslaughter.

“Do or do not,” says Yoda, in the acclaimed science fiction movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, “there is no try” (Empire). This quote is perhaps the most famous of the character’s, and perhaps one of the most famous in the whole franchise. It highlights an idea that the scene perpetuates: the fact you intend to do something doesn’t matter, only whether or not it is done. This is not a perfect metaphor for the application of knowledge, but it fits in rather easily. Without an effect, an application, all you have is abstract knowledge – that trying that Yoda denies – and in that way value has been diminished. Two areas of knowledge which especially highlight the values and limitations of that claim are the natural sciences and religion.

“Introduction to Poetry” and “Traveling Through the Dark,” are poems written by Billy Collins and William Stafford. The poem’s, “Introduction to Poetry”, main conflict is a teacher who tries to get his students to read and appreciate a poem, but what all the students only care about is figuring out what it means. The conflict is highlighted through the many uses of metaphors to help us understand how he wants the students to look and decipher a poem and how they only focus on finding the meaning instead of taking their time to listen and see the art of poetry. William Stafford’s poem, “Traveling Through the Dark,” describes a driver’s dilemma of deciding whether to throw a dead pregnant deer into the river, or leave it laying on the road where it can cause an accident. In both poems, the use of literary devices such as metaphors, personification, imagery, and diction are effective in making and building up the conflict and reaching the resolution.

Military planners and strategists have been discussing a change in military tactics with tactical weapons and strategic weapons. The author compares the similarities of the battles in World War II and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Luke Skywalker’s role in Star Wars is similar to a fighter pilot in World War II. The central attraction of beam weapons for military planners and strategists is that beam weapons have the potential of killing more effectively than any conventional weapon. They have a main role in mind for beam weapons - “ridding the sky of enemy missiles.” Naval commanders before the Falkland Islands War believe beam weapons could provide a type of protection to surface-going warships and aircraft carriers. Hecht talks about

Ronald Reagan gave a speech in Orlando, Florida on March 8, 1983 called, “The Evil Empire.” This speech was intended for the ears of all Americans and is one of the best known presidential speeches ever given. In his speech, Reagan uses multiple rhetorical strategies such as; metaphors, allusions, rhetorical questions, tone, pathos, and uses references from the bible. He talks about all the main points of abortion, teenage sex, drugs, the Soviet Union, and the practice of praying and God in our public schools. His speech was very well written, moving, and extremely influential. This speech shows the president’s belief that the

Star Wars: Dark Disciple was adapted from the unproduced final season of the animated Star Wars TV show, The Clone Wars. The book is a lot darker than the lighter comedic tone that the show primarily had, and that’s not a bad thing, at all. The story is mainly focused on the two main characters, Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress. Vos, a jedi master, is goofy and suave. His main purpose was undercover missions because he could charm his way into any situation, making him perfect for what the jedi council needed him to do. Ventress on the other hand is an assassin, former jedi, and former sith master, who’s hatred for her former master, Count Dooku, fuels her. The galaxy is at war, and the separatists continue to slaughter more and more people every
