ANTAGONIST05
ANTAGONIST
An antagonist is a character, group of characters, institution, or concept that stands in or represents opposition against the protagonist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antagonist In my own words:
An antagonist is the one who destroys and foils the good of the protagonist. My own example: Darth Vader in star wars is a antagonist in the story he stops Jedi's from creating peace in the land.
The word nemesis describes a rival who just somehow seems able to get the best of you.

In my own words:It can be someone you compete against, someone whose skills are nearly identical to yours. My own example: In a story there is only one nemesis, he/she can manipulate the hero and knows his/her weakness.
In my own words:For me a shape shifter can be anyone and posses a power to morph in to someone else. My own example: Zeus is a shape shifter In some mythological story, Zeus often change in to someone else and visit chambers.
In my own words:A change agent is the one who eventually changes for the improvement of the group often as the mind of a group. My own example: A change agent in a story somehow the one creating the strategies and the gadgets of a antagonist.

New concepts learned What I learned is quite unique, I can now
identify the types of characters in a movie, and a story how they act and what ending will they do. What is the impact of this character in the story and how well it will go for him/her.
NEW INPUTS18
This reminds me of… This kind of stuff reminds me of a comic
book back in my childhood days, I often read DC comics back then. I didn’t know any single character in the story and how will they result to. I often mistaken the hero to become the antagonist, but I realized know that some can be a protagonist who posses a antagonist quality.
CONNECTIONS19
Usefulness in real situations I can use this situations in real life for
example I can identify characters in a real life situation and what is there roles in our life. When watching a movie I can understand how the character acts.
