PIE Paragraph

While Luke Skywalker and Doug are both heroes, they are not heroes for the exact same reasons.  One reason why they are both heroes is because of their journey.  In the beginning of their stories, an event happens that causes them to embark on a journey, whether they like it or not.  For example, Doug is busy studying and doesn't want to be distracted, but then Quinn comes and forces Doug to get in his car, although he is reluctant.  While they have that similarity, they also have differences.  The setting in which they are heroes is extremely different.  Luke is busy in a galaxy far, far away, while Doug is in Las Vegas.  Luke is fighting in a war in space and receives huge recognition, but Doug is only in a city, and doesn't get any recognition for his heroic efforts besides Quinn.  Lastly, they are different because the objectives of the quest both deal with life and death, but are somewhat opposite.  In Star Wars, Luke's objective is to destroy the Death Star, and in turn kill many people, while Doug's objective is to simply save his friend's life.  While they are both for the greater good, Luke ends up killing and saving, while Doug simply saves.  Although both of the protagonists complete the Hero's Journey, they both have many differences that set them apart.
