Journal Entry 17: My favorite stories

As a kid, not too many stories captured my interest, because they were basically the same story with different characters and different conflicts. The ideas were all the same to me, so most stories were boring. However, there were a few that stuck with me. One example would be the movie "Inception". This is my favorite movie of all time, because it was different, and the plot was actually unexpected, and made me think. Another story I actually liked was the manga Naruto, or more specifically, the story of Itachi. He was born into war, so he detested it, and spent the rest of his life doing what he could to prevent it. He was born into the famed and honorable Uchiha clan. He rose to the top of his clan at an early age, entering the black ops at only 14 years of age. He was made into a double agent for the village to spy on his own clan, and he found that his clan was plotting a coup against the village, so he was given the mission to slaughter his entire clan. Knowing if a clan of the caliber of the Uchiha were to revolt, it may trigger a world war, he did as he was ordered, but he could not bring himself to kill his brother, Sasuke. He pleaded the village leader to protect Sasuke, and took all the responsibility and dishonor, to make Sasuke believe he was from a noble clan, devoting his entire life protecting Sasuke from the truth.
