Obi Wan Tao'nobi

I have not read from my novel this week. Partly due to last weeks whole "school shooting" mixed with snow days mixed in with all the homework. So with school, homework, non-consistant school days, and 20+ hour work weeks, reading just had to fall short.

This week we've been going over Chinese literature. We've reviewed over Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. On Thursday the class watched a couple clips from Star Wars and compared it to Taoism. Yeah Taoism and Star Wars. Similarities of the two in Star Wars is the "force" which is the power that controlled the Universe. Also, the force is in everything as said by Yoda. It holds power in trees, rocks, grass and more. Taoism is similar to the force and with the elements. In Taoism it is described the Tao is the force that controlled the Universe. Taoism didn't focus so much on human qualities but the elements of nature.  Taoists believed they could see these working through observing nature.  The comparison of the two has similarities, though maybe they weren't meant in Star Wars to be definite meanings of Taoism. It's open to interpretation. So in a way if you follow Taoism you can become a Jedi.
