PIE Hero Paragraph

Star Wars and Blue Diamond have a very similar flow of events because they both involve heros, but there are their differences.  First, in Star Wars and Blue Diamond, there were elixirs in both.  Even though the elixirs had two very different purposes (the diamond to look good and the light saber to kill), they meant allot to the helped the heros. In Star Wars the light saber help Luke through many battles which help him complete his mission.  In Blue Diamond the diamond prevented Doug's friend from committing, which was his mission.  A second similarity is that they both had refused their quest at first. Both heros had better things to do then to go on their mission.  In Star Wars Luke did not want to eave because he thought his uncle would be mad for leaving him before harvest.  In Blue Diamond Doug wanted to stay home and study instead of go out to eat.  Finally, a difference in these two stories is that Star Wars had a tempter and Blue Diamond did not.  The tempter tries to lure the heros of of their path and do something they will regret.  Star Wars tempter is Han Solo when he tells Luke that there is nothing for him here and he can not do anything about it, Blue Diamond  does not have a temptation.  All hero stories follow a similar story line but have their differences still.
