PIE HERO

Blogger would not let my double bubble map be put on here so i printed one off instead i hope that is okay.

I am comparing Luke skywalker to doug.

        Luke Skywalker is considered a great hero to all the people who have seen the Star Wars movies, but people would'nt say the same about Doug the main character from the story The Blue Diamond. But Doug is just as much of a hero as Luke and here is why. First off heroes do not need to use violence and fighting to be heroes. Luke Skywalker used his lightsaber and his gunships to become a hero, but Doug uses brains and just simple talking to save the day aswell. Doug saves his friends life and becomes a hero simply by using his brain and his mouth. Violence is not a necessary trait to be a hero. Secondly heroes can never get it done on the first try. It always takes a few times before they officially "save the day". For example in star wars Luke and his team try to destroy the Deathstar about 5 times before succeeding. And in The Blue Diamond, Doug has to try a few different strategies before he convinces his friend not to commit suicide. In both stories the hero does not succeed on his first try but once they do succeed in their task they are still the great hero. Finally, heroes dont have to have any special abilities. Luke skywalker has the force to help him along on his quest, but Doug is just a normal person with nothing special about him. This shows us that even without a special power or ability to help, heroes can still be heroes. No matter the diferences between Doug and Luke they are both still great heroes and are looked up to by all who know them.
