Scientific Articles SCRIPT ADVENTURE ANALYSIS - Adventuretts in Scientific Articles SCRIPT ADVENTURE ANALYSIS - Adventuretts in "The Empire Strikes Back" by Stephen B, Karpman, M,D, The analysis of adventure stories has relevance in the analysis of the life scripts of persons having banal scripts such as the "Nothing Ever Happens" script. In the Script Drama Analysis article (TAB 7:26, 1968) I analyzed drama as arising from switches in roles .(persecutor, Rescuer, and Victim in the Drama Triangle) and location (near-far, private-public, closed-open spaces in the Location Diagram) by the characters set in the Role Diagram. Adventure Analysis here will focus on the units of excitement I call "adven­ turetts," and the total number of adventuretts crammed into a time frame determines the excitement of the participants and their audience. The stimulus for this article is George Lucas' Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back which I've seen three times (the stimulus for Script Drama Analysis was The Valley ofthe Dolls and Wuthering Heights movies). Both articles analyze fairy tales. Star Wars was written as a fairy tale with morals for children. The units are named and randomly listed as adventurett inserts that can be inserted into any adventure story (or script) by the writer to hype the excitement and involveinent level (see discussion later). The list is not exhaustive nor organized by TA concepts, but the reader can find many ofthe currencies, drivers, ego states, etc. as they study the list. ADVENTURETTS: 13. CHALLENGED SIGHT: blind­ l.

The weaving of adventuretts into a flowing story can be done by script writers whose left brain and right brain get along with each other (left = logic , right = romance). A right brain writer can learn to logically insert a high number of adventuretts without losing the intuitive 'flow and artistry. A left brain writer can list and outline a prescribed number of adventuretts then allow an inspired imaginative story to flow from that. A third type of writer will have learned the adventuretts so throughly that they appear automatically in the intuitive creative process. In telling bedtime stories to my sons Eric (neighborhood stories) and Justin (science fiction stories) they pick four adventuretts each and with their help I weave a story from their choices. A SCORING SYSTEM. Generally, the success of an adventure story is directly related to the total number of adventuretts in it. A viewer may casually add up the number of adventuretts in several movies and know why some were boring and some were involving. A writer may set a minimum number of adventuretts as a standard for his/her stories. When a high-adventure series such as Sinbad the Sailor doesn't have the mass appeal of a Star War series, it is often because a high number of personal experience adventuretts are omitted.

    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

I was a Star Wars fan club member and had the full-sized theatrical poster on my bedroom wall,” says Programming Coordinator Tim Anderson. “Star Wars may not be my ‘life’ anymore, but ‘Empire’ holds a pretty special place in my heart as the very essence of movie magic.” Join us, and bring your 5-year-old self along for the wildest ride in the galaxy! In addition to The Empire Strikes Back, we are thrilled to bring in Relic, an American-Australian horror film, starring Emily Mortimer. Enzian is also excited to be able to reschedule special programming that was postponed due to the pandemic. This includes our Saturday Matinee Classics series, which returns this Saturday with Cleo From 5 to 7, and our Cult Classics / Science on Screen® presentation of Pineapple Express on Tuesday. There will be a special presentation at 9PM on the science of medical marijuana by Dr. Charlene Cooper of the Marijuana Care Clinic. Pineapple Express will begin after the presentation. With the current 50% capacity regulation in place, seating will be limited, and we encourage purchasing tickets online in advance to minimize contact.

  • The Colon (PDF)
    The university writing center 3211 HHRA Building THE COLON Related Handouts: TERMS TO KNOW: Vital Sentence Elements; APPOSITIVES; COMMA SPLICES AND RUN-ON SENTENCES THE PRINCIPLE The general purpose of the colon is this: it says, STOP! Important clump of words dead ahead! The colon serves to introduce an explanation, an example, an appositive, a series, a list, or a quotation. The colon is a signal for the reader to expect upcoming information. The colon always comes after a completed independent clause. THE PROBLEM/SOLUTION Here are some sentences with missing or misused colons followed by a brief explanation and the corrected sentence. 1. Ideology is like the force, it surrounds us, binds us, and connects us. This sentence needs a colon after the word “force.” The information after the colon clarifies or explains the first part of the sentence. In addition, this sentence actually contains two independent clauses. Joining them with a comma creates a comma splice error. Ideology is like the force: it surrounds us, binds us, and connects us. 2. Yoda expects results beyond mere effort “Do or do not; there is no try.” If an independent clause precedes your quotation, use a colon. This is also another example of an explanation that follows a colon. What’s after the colon is the crucial information that the writer wants the reader to understand. Yoda expects results beyond mere effort: “Do or do not; there is no try.” 3. There seems to be an abundance of films in the Star Wars series such as: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and now Revenge of the Sith.

  • QUEST 6: Sidekicks INFLUENCES – Friends
    INFLUENCES – Friends QUEST 6: Sidekicks Teacher notes Curriculum links: Literacy Zone relevance: Choices Description: In this activity students will discuss the qualities of a good sidekick, by highlighting two famous sidekicks from the Star Wars films: Chewbacca and R2-D2. Students will then create their own sidekick, as well as stories involving this new character. Background: A sidekick can be defined as a close friend or follower who accompanies another on adventures. In the original trilogy of Star Wars, we are introduced to Han Solo and Chewbacca. The inspiration for Han Solo’s sidekick came from George Lucas’s own dog, which used to ride co-pilot with him in the car. Chewbacca and Han Solo are smugglers, mechanics, pilots, and friends. They help the Rebel Alliance at different points in the story, getting into a lot of sticky situations and adventures. Chewbacca is definitely known for his great height, his strength and his fierce loyalty. It wasn’t clear to start, in the early design of Chewbacca’s character, what he would look like but one thing always remained: Han Solo wasn’t Han Solo, without Chewbacca. R2-D2 is found in all the Star Wars movies and is a faithful sidekick to more than one character. Young Anakin Skywalker first meets R2-D2 when he flies a ship off Naboo, to help shut off the power source for the Droid army below. R2-D2 then stays with Anakin as he grows and becomes a Jedi; R2-D2 helps Anakin in many situations during the Clone Wars. R2-D2 is also a sidekick for Luke Skywalker when his family purchases him and C-3PO on Tatooine.
