The diagram that I have selected is a diagram that ties all the planets and characters together from the Star Wars series directed by George Lucas. It is probably one of the most interesting diagrams that I've ever seen. Diagrams are a plan, drawing, sketch, outline of how things work, or shows the relationship between things. In general a diagram has arrows pointing to what things are connected. As an example, in my diagram there is an arrow between Luke Skywalker and the Jedi. This shows that Luke became a Jedi. In writing a diagram can show how a sentence is put together, how an essay is put together, or how a story is composed of different parts. On the web a diagram can show you just about anything. The internet is a wealth of information that is waiting to be explored. My diagram is educational because if you were confused when you watched Star Wars on who was who or who was good or evil then this would help you fully understand the movie. The diagram was originally intended to be an aid to the text describing one of the six Star Wars films. Now that I have removed the diagram from the text it doesn't make much sense unless you know the movies really well. As the writer when you remove a diagram from the text that it belongs with you need to be capable of explaining it in full detail just as if it were still with the original text. Within my dragram the important parts are the character names and the color of the box in which they are listed. If they are written in a red box then they are apart of the dark side and if they are in a blue box they are on the good side. Every planet is labeled with all the people from that planet listed next to it inside the box that tells what side they represent. They also have lines that connect them with certain other people and other events. I think that this diagram is labeled very well and don't think that I could've labeled them any better. This deals with writing because the way that you present information has to be clear and concise so that anyone who looks at it can make perfect sense out of it. If you can follow the arrows and understand the diagram then there's a good chance that you understand the concept that the diagram is trying to convey.

I thought that the Star Wars diagram was very intriguing. At a first glance, I couldn't really make heads or tails of what it was showing. I think this is because it was extracted from its original text. After reading the blog by "T.I.", the diagram became much clearer. I think T.I. did a good job at sticking with what he wrote,"the writer when you remove a diagram from the text that it belongs with you need to be capable of explaining it in full detail just as if it were still with the original text." I am not a huge Star Wars fan but even with my basic knowledge in the force and T.I.'s explanation I was able to learn alot from the diagram.
