Understanding search engines

               There are many uses for a search engine. Some examples of search engines are google, yahoo, bing, and there are a lot of others. For this essay I used google as my search engine to complete this assignment. There are many ways to search something on the internet sometime you have to find the specific way that best works for you.
               The question that I put in the search engine was, "how do the democratic and republican postions on the "fiscal cliff" differ?" Sometimes there is better questions as examples like for example one would be were there are two options such as if I were to ask, " what's better cats or dog?". When you phrase this question you could capitalize the words or , and . I found this method is not that good by itself.
                  Some other ways is adding quotation marks to your search. Adding the quotations will narrow it down a lot but you will still get a lot. But you may still get a lot more results becaus google tries to guess things for you and that is just a waste of time. You could also put in minuse sighns and put some words in parenthasese. Your best bet is to do everyone of these things and it will narrow down your search to very little and you will find exactly what you want.
               So a combination of quotes and minus sines and capitalizing or and   are the best option because i found exactly what i was looking for. This narrowed my results down until i found what I wanted. A lot of good results with this combination. But there are some other options that can help you when searching but thats up to you, and those are the things that I use when I am reaserching from a search engine.

Anakin


The creed of evil has been, since the beginnings of highly industrialized society, not only a precursor of barbarism but a mask of good. The worth of the latter was transferred to the evil that drew to itself all the hatred and resentment of an order which drummed good into its adherents so that it could with impunity be evil. –Theador Wiesengrund. What is evil? How does something become evil?  Can something change from good to evil? Well the movie of Star Wars three revenge of the Sith follows Anakin Skywalker as he transitions from good to evil.

In the beginning Anakin starts off as a jedi. In the movie he is with Obi-Wan and they get in a fight with Count Dooku. Anakin ends up winning the fight. But Obi-Wan is hurt. Later on Anakin is persuaded by Palpatine  to believe that the jedi council is against him. This is where he decided to believe that the jedi was against him.This is the part that he slowly turned evil.

Eventually Mace Windu Fights with Palpatine and Anakin hurts Mace Windu to help Palpatine thinking he can save his wife. That’s were Anakin messed up again. Then  Darth Sidious made Anakin his apprentice. Then he was told to kill all the jedi. Then he proceeds to killing all the kids in the jedi temple. This is the point of no return in the movie. He totally lost it.

I think Anakin had multiple chances of remaining a jedi. He didn’t have to believe anything he was told. Nor did he have to get involved with Mace Windu and Palpatine fighting. And after he did and was told to kill all the jedi. He could have not done it.

Star Wars three revenge of the Sith follows Anakin Skywalker as he transitions from good to evil. Ankakin skywalker turned evil completely. He went from being a jedi to being on the dark side. He was easily manipulated. And it is sad because it happens all the time.
