 My favorite movies (and tv shows) is Star Wars. Its setting is mentioned at the beginning of every movie "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." This is important to the writers of the Star Wars universe, especially when George Lucas first created it, as it allowed him to create whatever he wanted it to. From this, it also gave anyone the ability to tap into their imagination, and lose themselves in the Star Wars universe. In your own imagination you can be fairly limitless in your creativity (with respect to the created universe). Being able to leave your crappy  life and completely forgetting about it, then becoming whoever/whatever you want to be in a completely fictional, Sifi universe.

    I think the Star Wars Galaxy is one of the most interesting settings in modern media. Like you said, it exists as a setting that is familiar to people who consume Star Wars media, but is also able to sculpted into whatever the current creative team wants it to be. It's an extremely alien setting to our own, but is still instantly recognizable by its design and the tone and themes present throughout most Star Wars stories.

    I like Star Wars, I am not a super-fan, so if someone tested me on stuff, I would probably fail but I do enjoy it, especially the older movies. Being set in a galaxy far away and having different planets makes the show different than other science fiction shows but still enjoyable to the audience. I think Star Wars is a great example of how important setting is to a show/ movie.

    I can relate to Star Wars but the real question is Luke or Anikan? That was my favorite debate throughout the series. I really liked the perspective you used when saying Star Wars takes you away from reality and puts in a universe where people fight for the truth and what's right.

Post 7: Theme

A theme of my life would learning. When I say this i do not mean just mean education, I mean in life. Seeing something new, making mistakes, interactions between me and other people, there is always something new to learn in even the smallest of things. The way my gender might effect this, is by the way I might experience things differently from genders. I might be treated with biases, positive and negative, I might be told certain things others wouldn't normally be told or not experience things other would. But this would be part of the learning process. Trying to understand that other people have different experiences from you.

Post 6: Symbolism

-
Not matter who you are, everyone wears some sort of color every day. I personally wear a lot of blue and red as they are my favorite colors. But as you may know some colors are considered "girly and manly." This really only appears in blue and pink. When you attend a gender reveal party, the color pink is used for females, and the color blue is used for males. Has these colors always symbolized their genders assigned to them? According to a CNN article " Pink was not then (mid-1700's) considered a "girls" color...  The tint was, in fact, often considered more appropriate for little boys because it was seen as a paler shade or red, which had "masculine" military undertones" ( Cerini.) The symbolism for the color pink actually originated from a "masculine" color. Showing how the symbolzem can change over years.

 I'm using an imagine at the beginning of William Blakes's "London." "I wander through each chartered street" When comparing this image to myself, I can see in front of me paths or roads which can be taken. These paths aren't literal, but more mental direction that can be taken to lead me further in life. But even though each path is different, they share one thing in common, they a riddled with restrictions and laws. These laws my be because of my own limitation, mental, physical or otherwise. But they can also be laws in forced by others. It could be people trying to stop your progress. Or it could be laws in forced by governmental bodies. Either way, no matter what path is taken, the roads will be full of restrictions.
