Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a good example of how cloning could be used. Clones come in all shapes and sizes and copies of robots are still clones. In the graphic novel I read, they show how clones can be used to make armies of soldiers, human and robot to fight battles for them. I think this shows a good and bad side to cloning but still provides some detail to what cloning can really do. The show you that cloning can be used to create and army of people so we don't have to go to war. They also show you that anyone can make a army of people and just start a war. As you can see, the advantage and disadvantage kind of balance each other out and you can't really take a side on the argument based on this information. Star Wars wasn't written with the intent of arguing for or against cloning yet it does a decent job of showing you what could happen if we started to clone people. It also shows you that the life of a clone is less valuable than the life of someone who wasn't created in a lab. In Star Wars many clones get hurt but no body stops to check if the are alright but when a jedi or a human gets hurt, there is always someone there to help them.

11/10 Review Reflection
A good review describes the goals of the project being reviewed and how it accomplished or didn't accomplish those goals. It gives a personal opinion and tells you why it deserves to be its given rating. I recently read a review that opened with "After watching the trailer, the kids and I agreed that viewing the film would be an hour well-spent–and it was." This is a great way to start the review because it says that the two minute overview was good enough to make an entire family watch a hour plus film. The review then goes on to give some background information of the film by quoting a description of the film. It gives you enough detail to know what the film is about if you didn't want to watch the trailer. "The film artfully captured our attention from the beginning with its juxtaposition of a typical morning routine for two college friends in the U.S." This line tells the reader that the film can be related to by most people which allows people to feel more attached or into the film. They go through explaining the main points of them film and the questions and struggles that the students faced. After talking about the film they explain how they felt and how any support no matter how small still helps people greatly. They then finish there review by recommending the film to a target group of people which in this case was families.
