the hero. For example‚ in the well-known Fairy Tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarves‚ the dwarves are the guide or spirit that provides Snow White with food and shelter while she is in the sacred world. Or in the George Lucas movie “Star Wars‚” Obi Wan Kenobi acts as a guide for the protagonist Luke Skywalker. The guiding spirit in this case‚ is the own conscience and integrity of the protagonist. Reflecting on his decision to refuse help‚ the protagonist realizes his mistake and is overcome with

China. Daoism is often related to Star Wars and it is said that George Lucus is a daoist. Throughout the two series of Star Wars‚ there are many references to Daoism. The “force” is probably the biggest give away that Star Wars is Daoistic. Obi-wan Kenobi‚ a Jedi knight says that “The Force is what gives the Jedi his power. It ’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." In Star Wars the force is something that the Jedi have

What I hate about driving‚ especially on the highway‚ is a slow driver. They believe that driving 10-20 mph under the speed limit is being precautious‚ but they do fully not understand that slow driving can be dangerous. They are oblivious to the whole world around them‚ mainly because they care about only themselves and not the other drivers around them. It’s irritating when some idiot decides to drive slowly on the left lane of the highway. The left lane is designed for passing‚ not holding back

It was just a second. That is all it took. The headlights were speeding towards us. There was no time to react when I saw the other car. There were tire screeches and a blaring horn that was screaming in my ear. I felt my body slam against the seatbelt‚ and the shattering glass sliced my face and arms. That was the end. (Imagery). I hope that I will never have to live through that scenario. According to RMIIA in 2008‚ 2‚739 drivers between the ages of 15 and 20 died in a motor vehicle accident

In the world of virtualization there are two kingpins; VMware and Microsoft. As I researched these two vendors it has become apparent that comparing these two giants would be like comparing apples and oranges; like apples and oranges are fruit‚ and VMware and Microsoft make virtualization software‚ they are different altogether. This happens to be the scenario that I have seen‚ not only between the two companies‚ but in blog posts and forums. VMware’s vSphere is a suite. In other words it’s like

The “Express” Lane The English language is a funny thing isn’t it? How we can say one thing and the meaning behind it makes perfect sense to the person who said it. However‚ the reality is that the meaning could be something completely different than what the author wanted the reader to think. These differences can cause conflict and argument if both sides are not clear on the real meaning of the words or phrases used. I have found a very good example of this in action at my work. At the

The Benefits of Airport Security By William Engram II I’m on the side of airport security. My mom told me that when she worked at the airport people could just run in at the last minute with their family members and friends‚ check their bags‚ walk on the plane and be seated. The family members and friends were allowed to walk on the plane with the passenger for their final good-byes before the plane takes off. Because of the state of the world today‚ much of this freedom is taken away.
