Koty Sipe character sketch Anakin Skywalker was born into a slave company and is sold to Watto, a machinery broker. As a child he had short blond and quite ratty hair style. His clothes were poorly sewn together with holes and dirt all over them. Growing up on tatooine was hard for his mother because Anakin didn’t have many friends at all. Anakin was special for he had dreams of the future and could, at times, know when things were going to happen before they did. Growing up all anakin wanted to do was become a podracer and fly in space. Often he would get into trouble with Watto because of this. Later on Anakin met a juvenile lady named Padme. In Anakin's’ eyes he thought she was an angel and fell in love with her immediately. With Padme …show more content…
Anakin and Qui-Gon became friends very fast and soon he entered a pod race. His freedom was bet during the race for Qui-Gon's’ ship. When Anakin won the race he asked about his mother being set free but he was the only one who could be set free. He left with Qui-gon and Obi-wan Kenobi to become a jedi. When Qui-gon died Anakin became Obi-wan’s apprentice. Many years later in Anakin began to train to become a jedi knight. Now that he’s in his teen years he has dark brown hair and a small ponytail. By 22 BBY, just before the Clone Wars, Anakin had grown into a powerful Jedi. Although he respected Obi-Wan as a friend and master, Anakin was keenly aware that his Force abilities were far beyond Obi-Wan's -- or anyone else's in the Jedi Order. He believed that Obi-Wan was holding him back from reaching his true potential. When Senator Padmé Amidala was attacked, Anakin was assigned to protect her. But when he had nightmares about his mother, he took Padmé from the safety of Naboo to find his mother on Tatooine. He discovered that she had been freed by a moisture farmer, Cliegg Lars, whom she later married. But she had been abducted by Tusken Raiders, violent Tatooine tribes, and there was …show more content…
He slaughtered the tribe who had captured her, taking his first step towards the dark side of the Force. When Anakin and Padmé received a message from Obi-Wan on Geonosis, they went to investigate and got captured. Knowing that they might soon die, Padmé was finally able to let go of her fears and confess her love for Anakin. Anakin and Padmé married. Because the Jedi Order forbade attachment, they were forced to keep their relationship secret. Furious with this Anakin became one step closer to the dark side of the force. Later during An epic fight with Count Dooku, Dooku cut off Anakin’s hand, a symbol of darkness in the jedi order. Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine was abducted by General Grievous and Count Dooku. After Obi-Wan was knocked unconscious, Anakin incapacitated Dooku and was prepared to arrest him. Palpatine insisted, however, that Dooku was too dangerous to take alive, and incited Anakin to kill him in cold blood. When Anakin took his concerns to Palpatine, the Chancellor revealed that the Sith held the secrets to life and death. As a Sith, Anakin could reach his full potential in the Force and prevent Padmé from dying. Anakin reported the Chancellor to Mace Windu, and finally

The overall theme of the text “Abuela Invents the Zero”, is to treat others the way you want to be treated, and to treat your family with respect. Connie, the granddaughter, is very rude to her Abuela and quick to judge her looks and actions. In the text it says, “ It is January, two feet of snow on the ground, and she’s wearing a shawl over a thick black dress. That’s just the start.” This shows how she is unfamiliar with the snow in New Jersey, but Connie is still quick to judge her for what she is wearing and she just got off the plane. Also, this shows us how she is embarrassed to be seen with her Abuela because of what she is wearing. Connie should just be respectful and happy to see her Abuela, since it is her first time in the U.S.
The main character in my book “Tucket´s Gold” by Gary Paulsen is about a teenage boy named Francis Tucket who lived in the mid 1900’s This brave character was taken from his parents over a year ago by Pawnee Indians while traveling the Oregon Trail. He held captive for days until he was rescued by a one armed mountain man named Mr. Grimes who trained him and gave him the skills so he could survive out in the wild. Now he is in charge of 2 orphans named Billy and Lottie and is tracking down his parents on the Oregon trail until he stumbles upon an ancient treasure and is being chased by bandits. Now he has use his great character traits such as being caring, protective, and skillful to stay alive. Throughout the story these traits affect Francis because without these exact traits such as being skillful he would have never survived on his own after being separated from his parents in turn, he would have never been caring or protective because he would have never found Lottie and Billy to be caring and protective to, and if he wasn’t protective or caring they all would have all died during the encounter with the bandits because he would not care. So as can see these traits change him from a boy “with plenty” and a fairly wealthy family to a caring, protective, and

The polish activist, Irena Sendler. once observed, ¨People can be only divided into good and bad; their race, religion, nationality don´t matter¨ (Sendler). Is it really possible to draw a demarcation line between people and divide them into good or bad? This kind of either-or thinking begs the question whether there might be other categories of individuals that overlap each other in term of personality and defy such simplistic definition as good or bad. The novel All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr is a fitting example of fiction to discuss the difference between polarized characters.
