1. The source relates to my to my topic because the theme of the movie is, the most honorable death is the one you get to choose. In relation, the theme of this padlet and the theme of the movie are; if someone gets the luxury of dying doing something that person loves, that person, in context, got to choose how the death of that person died.

2. Viewing, "The Last Samurai" by Edward Zwich, helped me understand my topic by helping me realize dying a death that is chosen by a person is always worth it, described as extremely honorable in the movie. War is what those men, the Samurai, lived for, and were willing to lay down their life, and   think twice, if they were givin the opportunity to die an honorable death.

3. The Creator of the text got these ideas across by dramatizing the visual and auditory aspects of the movie. 
Visual: Many of the scenes in the movie where Katsumoto (the leader of the Samurai) and Nathan (the main character) would converse, and Katsumoto would teach Nathan about the true meaning of life. The location and background would often be gorgeous, emphsizing how beautiful it is to live as a samurai, to live with the peace and awareness that these men knew they were going to die, but had no anger toward it. In fact, you could say they welcome death. 
Auditory: In the movie, a person could really hear how sincere and at peace Katsumoto, and his whole other group really was with their death.]]> 2017-03-01 15:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/157061733 1901911 https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/160148966 Biography: Martin Luther King Jr.

1. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who trully lived out what he taught. Living in a time where African Americans were so dicriminated against, MLK risked death so he could possibly one day see a difference in the equality of those of the opposite skin color. In conclusion, he felt his life was worth the risk of death.

2. Viewing the source helps me understand my topic, showing me a living beathing representation of someone who trully lived their life in exactly as the quote is meant to be read. Martin Luther King even had his own version of the quote, with the exact same meaning, "If a man hasn’t found something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live".

3. The creator of the text used literary techniques, using them to paint a picture in the readers mind of how this legend lived. The biography describes Martin Luther King as a man of his word. This proves Martin Luther trully didnt just talk the talk, he walked the walk.]]> 2017-03-15 02:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/160148966 1901911 https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/160149543

1. The Photo Graph shows men who are willing to lay down their life for their beloved country. This relates to the theme by showing the loyalty and commitment to the thought that they could be deaths next victim, showing that they treasure freedom and the life of the citizens of this country country much more than theirs.

2. Viewing the picture above helped me understand my topic even more by helping me become more aware of real men that risk their life for something they trully love and belive in. These men are living examples of people who really do have something to die for.

3. The Creator of the text got these ideas across to the viewer by capturing a visual image of men showing their loyalty to something they trully believe is worth dying for. This is illustrated by the posture of the men, the men in their uniforms, ready for anything that is thrown at them. And finally the serious and motivated expressions on their faces trully shows their dedication]]> 2017-03-15 02:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/160149543 1901911 https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/161043051

1. The Poem by Sri Chinmoy gives the reader a true sense that a person is in full control of the events that will happen in their life. This realtes to the topic because a person chooses what they would be willing to die for. It all boils down to how important something is to someone and is it actually worth their time, money, life, or all of the above.

2. Reading the source helps me understand my topic better by giving me a written poem about how how every path taken by a person is chosen by them. A person chooses what is and what isn't worth dying for. Once that person has found that, a person can trully live, following their soul in that path towards that most important of things.

3. The creator of the text got these ideas across by choosing a visually intreaging background, while using a short, simple sentences to get the point across to the reader.]]> 2017-03-20 00:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/1901911/77ftddg4l7jk/wish/161043051
