    the Wachowskis, or more broadly the “generation X” directors, taking the metaphorical pill and choosing to gain the power to control and manipulate the images on the screen more than it was ever possible before, and the directing duo of the Matrix trilogy brilliantly succeeded at exploring new frontiers of filmmaking.

    reader I enjoy reading books of all types, however, one of my favorite genres is fantasy. This love began in my reading of George MacDonald's Phantastes, and continued throughout the past year as I have been working my way through C.S. Lewis’ The Space Trilogy. What is so interesting, and simply enjoyable, for me about reading Sir Gawain is that it is a more original and classic take on the typical structure and plot of a fantasy/fairytale.

    A Literary Evolution From an extremely young age, I was subjected to children’s stories. Obviously, the classics: Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Little Red Riding Hood. However, more mature tales like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Divergent also had a considerable amount of runtime in my childhood. Looking back on the staples of my literary formation, I feel that the evolution of these books is interesting, and worthy of a closer inspection. As with any little girl, I was

    George Lucas’ Star Wars saga is an extremely well known cultural phenomenon with a fan base spanning generations. The saga contains themes of nationalism, fascism, and colonialism just to name a few. The original series also displays the theme of The Hero’s Journey an idea taken from mythologist Joseph Campbell’s book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I argue that the controlling force of the galaxy The Galactic Empire serves as a form of settler colonialism among almost all planets in the Star Wars
