Weston Romens Luke vs Doug

Luke Skywalker and Doug are similar and different in their own ways. In this paper you will see how they compare and contrast to each other. In each one of the stories they both go through challenges. In both stories they overcome the challenges that they face. One challenge in Star Wars for luke is he has to go on a mission or a quest. With the refusal to the call Luke does not want to go on the mission. He says that he has to stay with his father and work for him. It is a challenge for Luke to go on the mission because he first does not want to go and he also says he needs to work for his dad. Doug also has a challenge he goes through when Quinn comes to his house and wants Doug to go on the road with him. Doug says that he needs to study. That is a refusal to the call similar to Star Wars. Doug and Luke both end up going on their so called missions or their quest. Another challenge that Luke goes through is when he has to blow up the Death Star. Luke has to blow up the Death Star to complete his quest. He completes this mission by shooting into the only place that can blow up the death star. He does it and then he is able to go home. He does the only thing that he has to do to get back home. Similar to Luke is what Doug has to do in convincing Quinn not to kill himself. Doug has to overcome a difficult situation similar to Luke. Doug has to convince his friend to not kill himself. In the story Doug explains to Quinn why he should not kill himself and gives him reasons not to. He says its about all of the little reasons in life to stay alive. This is similar to Luke because after they both have done what they had to in their mission in the end of all of it they get to go home. A difference about these two stories is what their fighting for or why they are going out on their missions. Luke embarked on his mission in his intent to become a jedi and follow in his fathers steps. Obi one convinces him to go on his mission because his father was a jedi and he wants to follow in his fathers steps. He became a jedi to complete his mission save princess leya and blow up the death star. Doug stays in vegas because he realizes that his friend is going to kill himself and he is the only one that can save him. He knows that once he sticks with his friend he almost has to help him. When Doug goes in the bathroom to check on Quinn to make sure he is not killing himself. This shows that he helps him during his mission. Luke and Doug's stories are similar and different in many different ways. They both have stages to make a story a hero story.
