The lifestyle of a jedi knight is not for the faint of heart and many often turn to the dark side when faced with adversities. Being a jedi knight means giving up love for others and selfish tendencies, ultimately risking your life for everybody else except oneself. It relies on an underlying commitment and loyalty to the light side of the force, undermining one's self-interests. 

That is why the dark side is so appealing to many that face struggles and personal issues, a theme that is common through everybody. Some say that those who turn to the dark side are weak-minded and selfish, but the dark side represents human nature, the ability to have emotion. The jedi tend to portray mindless, emotionless, and celibate drones that fight to protect nothing. However, everybody has to start somewhere, and the Jedi temple is where my story starts. I have chosen the three pieces that best reflect my story and the disconnect I developed with the Jedi Council. This portfolio will represent my development as a warrior (writer) and showcase my skills I've inherited through my story (ENGL 131). 

The three pieces I have chosen to revise are Short Assignment 2, Major Project 1, and Short Assignment 1, which all demonstrate my staggered and conflicted pathway as a force-user. I have chosen Short Assignment 2 which targets outcome 4 which reflects my ability to revise and revisit my piece over time and allowing it to incorporate different perspectives and ideas. I have chosen Short Assignment 1 which targets outcome 1 which reflects my ability to write for different audiences accordingly and being able to appeal all different people. My Major Project 1 or the discourse essay targets both outcome 2 and outcome 3 because it reflects my ability to use sources from all different contexts, and use them to create strong, persuasive, and concise arguments that pertain to the topic. These outcomes are the backbone behind my pieces and help to improve as a writer, which I have masterfully highlighted through my experiences with ENGL 131. 

Now let's look over my story from a dedicated Jedi knight to a powerful Sith lord.
