Creative Writing VII

Character I: Darth Vader

One impact that Darth Vader has had on our culture is the roles of fathers in kids lives. Darth Vader is the parent of Luke Skywalker and reveals that to him in The Empire Strikes Back. We find out that Luke never knew his father when he was growing up, a sign of a bad father. Also the sole person whom Luke is trying to kill is Darth Vader is father, another sign of a bad father. All of the messages between father and son that are bad are shown in the relationship between these two. But one good thing happens in the end, they reconcile with eachother and Vaders love for his son overcomes him and he throws the sith down that big pit of electricity. This shows that there is possible hope for redemption in father-son relationships.

Character II: The Cookie Monster

The cookie monster is an interesting character. He only needs one thing, and thats a cookie says Mr. Oz from the In Character NPR article about the cookie monster. This shows that only one thing makes him happy and that is a cookie. Unlike most of us where we need many different things, or we say we need things, the cookie monster is happy with one cookie. This impacts our culture to either motivate us to live more simply or to twist his logic to say that we need more and more cookies, or in our case items. This Monster can be taken in two different was and how we view him is dependent on how we take his philosophies of needs.

Character III: Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson is seen on the TV show the Simpsons produced by Matt Groening. Homer may seem like an idiot that has no affect to anyone, but quite the oppisite is true, except the idiot part. Homer Simpson is a very intriging person because of his stupidity. The view never knows what Homer will do next, and he always manages to get out of it alive, thanks to Mr. Matt Groening. Even though this is a TV show and the impossible becomes possible, he affects our culture by wanting to try the stupid things he does. Homer doesn't always do the smartest things, and neither do people, but we can almost learn from our mistakes by taking off of Homer Simpson.
