Double Bubble P.I.E Graph Comparing Luke and Doug

P.I.E Analysis Paragraph on Luke and Doug

     When the going gets tough keep focused on the goal. Luke's family was killed by the imperial storm troopers. After Luke found out more about his father from Obi-wan he gave Luke his fathers lite sabers, After his family's death he agrees to go with Obi-wan to Alderaan, "I  want to come to Alderaan with you" Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan begins Luke's Jedi training as they try to help save the captured princess from the Ship. Luke compares to Doug from Blue Diamond by when Doug looks in the glove compartment and finds the revolver and realizes that Quinn is trying to kill himself. "Maybe there are no big reasons. Maybe people stay alive for seventy years worth of little reasons that are all lined up one after the other" said Doug. Which shows that when the going does in fact get tough you just got to stay focused and think about what your solutions are. A way that the two characters are different is that Luke has a team or a group of people (R2D2, C-3PO, Han Solo, Obi-wan and Chewbaca) that he works with to save Princess Leia from the star ship "That's no moon. It's a space station"said Obi-wan when they were on Han solos space craft. Doug on the other hand only has himself to help convince Quinn that his life means something and how he should not commit suicide, "I stumbled over to the bathrooms praying that Quinn was just going to the bathroom but it was just a fat guy in the stalls, then Quinn came out of the stall looking like he just ran a 100". This has to do with my topic sentence because it helps to have someone with you in the time of need to help you stayed focus on your goal and Doug did not have that help but he still made it though with Quinn and the diamond. My Third and final point is they both had a symbolic item that helped them accomplish their goals. Luke had the Force which in the end helped him kill the Space station right as it was about to kill the rebel plant. "You must learn the ways of the Force, if you're to come with me to Alderaan. " which in the end ultimately saved the planet. In Doug's case he had the diamond which he got from winning at the casino which really helped saves Quinn's life because it helped resemble who and what he really was. This Stupid diamond won't do us much we need to to get rid of it for our new album".  In conclusion Luke Skywalker from Starwars and Doug from Blue Diamond both have similarities  and differences on the topic When the going gets tough keep focused on the goal.
