The+Terminator

Carolyn Powers __** Character Traits **__ The Terminator is the name for Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in The Terminator. The character is a robot, called a cyborg, who displays many human characteristics. The thing that makes him evil, is that fact that he's an assassin and works for an army from the future. The Terminator was made by Skynet, which is an intelligence system that went bad, and is now against its creators. The robot was created to go back in time to kill a woman named Sarah Connor. She would later give birth to a son, John, who will one day become the leader of the human resistance- the force against Skynet. If The Terminator was successful in killing Sarah, then John would not be born to lead Skynet's enemy. The Terminator is almost immortal, and can survive gunshots and explosions. He also posesses the power of superman strength. He also has the ability to learn, read, talk, and understand emotions and feelings, as well as blood, the ability to sweat, smell, and breathe. All of these things help him blend in with humans. This shows how sneaky and devious The Terminator is, by trying to blend in with human beings. The Terminator is murderous, in being an assassin, and very intelligent in his ability to learn and understand. The Terminator often says, "I'll be back" which demonstrates that he will never give up and is always a threat to to the human resistance.
 * THE TERMINATOR**

1. The Terminator is shown wearing all black attire with sunglasses on. Black is often associated with death, the dark side, powers of evil, and darkness. The robot embodies all of these traits by being an assassian. Sunglasses are worn as a disguise. The robot is disguising from humans by trying to blend in and look like them. This shows how stealthy The Terminator is, and how willing he is to mask who he really is.

2. A gun is in The Terminator's hand. Guns are always representative of violence, murder, and crime. He is definately a murderer, because the only reason he was created was to murder the future leader of human resisance.

3. The expression on The Terminator's face. The sneer shows that he does not have good intentions, and is not the nicest guy in the world if hes grimiacing all the time. When a person is sneering it generally means they are up to no good. The look is also of determination, which he has a lot of. He is willing o do whatever he can to complete his mission, and also to get what he wants.

4. The fact that The Terminator looks so human. When the robot is in its robot form, it is not devious, disguising himself, and he cannot really do much damage. When he looks like a human, all of the traits that make him evil come out. The human terminator can hold a gun, interact with humans like they are equals, and many things that make him much more dangerous than if he were a robot.

5. The background shows that The Terminator is evil. It is black, with red light strips shooting ou from behind his back. The lights look futuristic, which fits because The Terminator is from the future. The black shows darkness, and he certainly has a dark mind. It is also simple, which shows that The Terminator is not a very complex character. He is out on a mission singlehandedly for one thing- to kill Sarah Connor.
