We constantly try to identify other's personality, which means we want to identify their character. Not just with the people around us. We tend to look in to the famous celebrity, or even politicians and try to find the deep inside of them. But once we find out the deep inside emotion and they become a round character, we either dislike or like the person. This more expresses the famous, because they tend to have less privacy than others do.

We, humans always see the world as the first person point of view. It's not possible to look in to other person's mind or know all the events going on around us. This makes me question the future science and the government with the possibility of controlling people, like the "Harrison Bergeron." Currently, the government knows quite a lot of details about us. By the government looking in to a person's mind, like Third person omniscient, will the world be peaceful?

I feel every event happening in our life is a plot. There are many ups and downs through a person's life. It's exactly like a plot chart. There's always a beginning, and there's always an end. Many rising actions, and falling actions in this stage; my age.

There are many ironic situations in our lives. There are many people who doesn't even know that a certain behaviour is ironic. Like the story "Possibility of Evil." I find this kind of incident I can connect to situations such as cyber bullying. People who act as a bully may not even notice they are hurting the other person.

Learning about a character is always the best part in a story, or a film (etc.) But if I clearly know if the character is either flat or round, or static or dynamic, it's easier to foreshadow in to depth which makes the story or the film more enjoyable.

Allusion really helps me understand the literature more clearly. Personally, allusion was the hardest chapter for me in class. But as I did more research on allusion, I could get a more clear idea of how allusion worked. Now it's easier to identify for example song lyrics and understand what the writer is trying to allude to.

Point of View for me personally makes the story more exciting. I get this feeling because depending on the point of view, the story changes and once figure out which point of view a certain film or a story is, I think it drives the reader's attention. For example, Romeo and Juliet deals with both of the character's emotions. But if it only dealt with one character's emotion, it will totally change the view of us looking in to the character.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) is Third Person Omniscient

The main tool of the story, "Force" is everywhere, and is everything. Which explains the story transitions between the characters and places the story leads towards.

For excitement, the scene frequently switches between the characters, so this explains third person omniscient is the only way to explain, since explaining anything else will throw too many changes into the movie it self.

"Harrison Begeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Exposition: Government handicaps people for total equality

Inciting Incident: And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron's fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.

Rising Action: George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. But he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.

"right." said George. He began to think glimmeringly about his abnormal son who was now in jail, about Harrison, but a twenty-one-gun salute in his head stopped that."

"Harrison Begeron, age fourteen, [...] is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous."

Climax: "I am the Emperor!" cried Harrison. "Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what I say at once!" [...] "Now-" said Harrison, taking her hand, "shall we show the people the meaning of the word dance? Music!" he commanded.

Falling Action: It was then that Diana Moon Clampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun.

Resolution: She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor. [...]
"I forget," she said. "Something real sad on television."
"What was it?" he said.

Harrison Bergeron - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

In a Nutshell
The Constitution of the United States is the highest law in the land, a written statement of the core principles of the American government. It lays out the structure of the federal government, clarifies the relationship between that government and the states, explains which powers the government does (and does not!) have, and guarantees certain rights and freedoms to the people.

The Constitution is, in short, the blueprint for America's democracy. It is, in many ways, the blueprint for America itself.
[https://www.shmoop.com/constitution/]

The author refers to the Constitution of the United States when they took away certain rights and freedom from people. It's similar to the equality in Harrison Bergeron when they're just handicapped.
