a job well done, Samus Aran, protagonist of the Metroid series, was indeed female. For the purpose of this paper, we’ll analyze the heroics of Samus through three distinct analytical lenses: The Hero’s Journey (from Joseph Campbell), Carl Jung’s archetypes, and through feminist analysis. Of course, to learn more about our heroine, we must first find out what drives her, what makes her tick, and her purpose as a bounty hunter. The story of Metroid stretches along 11 games, and various Japanese manga

Samus Aran sits in an almost empty room in an office building on the planet Anadyr V. A glowlamp provides the only light in the room, a small aurora near the northwest side of the room. She stares into a HoloVision, watching the recent news. A Galactic Federation cruiser, Nova Lord, has gone missing in the Tetra Galaxy, near the outskirts of the planet Arcterra in the Alimbic Cluster. The last known contact was three days ago, with Federation Commando Ron Wyatt issuing a distress signal, indicating
She is all too familiar with the Pirates; in fact their interference was the reason behind the Metroid crisis, in particular the SR388 infestation. As the pirate mocks Samus for being a coward, the nimble bounty hunter leaps over the barrier and lands on top of the Pirate. Screaming in confusion, the Pirate tries to slash Samus off in vain. Samus casually
Analysis of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodice by Muriel Spark “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a novel about a teacher’s dedication to her pupils. It is also about loyalty and betrayal.” The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is a novel about a teacher’s dedication to her pupils. It is also about loyalty and betrayal. The novel emphasises the effects of dedication, loyalty and betrayal within a small group of people and the way in which they are all intertwined. It forces the reader to look at particular
The Dangers of Social Conformity Exposed in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie depicts the coming of age of six adolescent girls in Edinburgh, Scotland during the 1930's. The story brings us into the classroom of Miss Jean Brodie, a fascist school teacher at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, and gives close encounter with the social and political climate in Europe during the era surrounding the second World War. Spark's novel is a narrative relating
same story to the next person who of course was waiting outside of the classroom, until it got to the fourth person. The story that the fourth person ended up with was extremely dissimilar from what was initially told to the first person. This is a prime example of how rumors change while they are being said from one person to the other. There were two rumors in the experiment conducted for the rumor assignment. Both rumors were very different in context but both proved the same thing in the end. Rumor
step above the normal, ordinary curs. They have the ability to overstep normal bounds and transgress the rights of those who are simply ordinary. They are the prime movers--they have a right to transcend normal societal strictures to accomplish those things they have determined are valid in their conscience. Extraordinary men are the prime movers. He cites such extraordinary men as Newton, Mahomet, and Napoleon. He tells us that Newton had the right to kill hundreds of men if need be in order to
The Importance of Taking Care of Hands and Feet Nail care was different during the ancient times through 1900s. Most women and men do not go into the nail shop for the importance of taking of their hands and feet. If they are really concerned, they should talk to someone about it instead of putting it aside. If they do not get help right away, it can cause many problems such as infections, diseases, and even both. It all started during the ancient roman times. At the time, nail care was part
Feet are a very important component of the human body because of the virtual function they play of ensuring mobility. Care and protection is important in ensuring healthy feet. Consider the following points in giving care to your feet. Wear appropriate shoes. Wearing the wrong type of shoes can cause deformities such as bunions, ingrown toe nails, cross over toes, hammer toes, corns and cracked heels. Avoid these by; Not wearing high heeled shoes for a long period of time as this leads to back
Prime of Miss Jean Broadie To be in Miss Broadie’s set was to be set apart from the rest of the school. They were outwardly looked upon with disdain. Inwardly, however, others were jealous of them for the distinction they received. Each girl in the Broadie set was held on a pedestal. Each had something special about them, reasons why they were chosen by Miss Broadie, and that puts them at higher regard. Each girl was famous in school for something. They really have very little in common
News Is it prime time or all the time? Media influence has become a social mainstay in contemporary society. Not only do newspapers, radio, television and magazines strive to inform and entertain, but they also hold a significant power over what people believe. Since its inception, the standard of media presence was long a tool of integrity and fairness. Newspersons and entertainers may have embellished here and there in order to put more flavor into a certain piece or program, but for the most
therefore cannot be dated earlier than 1660. Mr. Pierre de Fermat discovered many things in his lifetime. Some things that he did include: -If p is a prime and a is a prime to p then ap-1-1 is divisible by p, that is, ap-1-1=0 (mod p). The proof of this, first given by Euler, was known quite well. A more general theorem is that a0-(n)-1=0 (mod n), where a is prime...
Investigating the Phi Function The phi function is defined for any positive integer[IMAGE](n), as the number of positive integers not greater than and co-prime (have no factor other than 1 in common) to n Example So [IMAGE](12) = 4 because the integers less than 12 which have no factors in common with it except for 1 are 1,5,7,11 i.e. there is 4 of them. I started to investigate the phi function of numbers from 2 to 24 so I could find patterns, which I can use to create a formula
Prime Time for Education It would be a wonderful world if we could give our children a better future. Why not start by filling their little minds with a handful of education at an early age? In Arizona it has been a controversial subject on whether to fund full day kindergarten. In my research on the subject and the experience I have had with my own children full day kindergarten is all around a wonderful idea. There are benefits for children, parents and teachers. Benjamin Franklin once said, “An
Kim Campbell, Canada's first female Prime Minister, rose quickly in her political standings reaching, what she would find to be the height of her career only seven years after entering politics. It appeared like the loss of the 1993 election and the all around destruction of the Progressive Conservative party was completely Kim Campbell’s fault however actually was a joint effort by Brian Mulroney and Kim Campbell. Kim Campbell rose so quickly in her political status that she did not have the experience
greatest Prime Minister of Canada was? Mackenzie King our 10thPrime Minister of Canada and by far one of our greatest. William Lyon Mackenzie King accomplished a lot in his twenty-0ne years of ministering our Country Canada! "It is what we prevent, rather than what we do that counts most in Government." (Mackenzie King august 26, 1936) This statement sums up the best secrets of Mackenzie King's success as prime minister, and perhaps, the key to governing Canada effectively. King's record of prime minister
Investigation of the Cooling of a Liquid in Cups with Different Materials Aim: To investigate how a liquid cools down in cups with different materials. Prediction: The factors which will affect the amount of heat loss are: § Material of the cup – Conduction § Colour – Radiation § Surface area of cup § Amount of water (surface area:volume ratio) § If the cup has a lid or not – Convection and Evaporation § Room temperature § Thickness of the cup § Temperature of the liquid
Heat Loss Investigation Aim To investigate how variations in surface area and volume ratios in organisms lead to variations in heat loss and retention. Introduction Large animals have the ability to retain heat more easily than smaller animals because they have a larger surface area to volume ratio. This is the what I am trying to prove in the experiment. There are examples of this in nature. In winter the robin fluffs its wings up in order to retain more heat. When it does this
The Power and Authority of the Government Power can be seen as the capacity of a government to get its citizens to comply with it. Power is quite broadly used and can even be seen as obedience as this shows a deliberate self restraint of citizens that might otherwise resist the government. It has a direct connection with authority as authority carries the implication that the institution that has power is supported in its decisions by a substantial amount of people and therefore should be
