In short...
Nebula of gases --> Protostar --> Brown Dwarf --> Yellow Star --> Blue Giant -->
Blue Super Giant --> Red Super Giant --> Super Nova -->
Black Hole/Neutron Star/White Dwarf
You should note that at any time in the life cycle of a star it may simply run out of fuel and then fade into a white dwarf.
Interesting side-note if our sun should evolve into a blue giant it would eliminate all life on earth and if our sun were to run out of fuel and turn into a white dwarf it would eliminate all life on earth. Food for thought :)

What forces are opposing one another throughout the life of a star and how do they influence the various stages in the life cycle of a star?
During stellar evolution, gravity and stars battle with each other thought the entire lifespan of a star. Because gravity is a force that causes two particles to pull toward each other it constantly tries to collapse a star, the gas pressure of the star pushes the star outward and gravity fails in this aspect. The biggest majority of a stars life, gas pressure and gravity cohabitate in such a way that a star does not collapse under gravity or disintegrate due to gas pressure, until the end of the stars existence. When a star dies it is because of the stars mass. Stars all have different mass and because of such, low, medium and large mass stars all have very different life spans. A star that has a low mass will live longer than the other stars and can live a span of a trillion years. The stars that live this long are considered main sequence stars which means they are a continuous and distinctive band of stars that appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness. When the stars age, they begin to cool off and turn into a white dwarf star, then later to a black dwarf star. The Sun is considered a medium mass star and is believed to be able to live over 15 billion years. Medium mass stars, will spend the first 8 to 10 billion years of their lives as main sequence stars. The star needs to be fueled with hydrogen so when a medium sized star runs out of hydrogen, it will begin to burn helium, then they become red giants. As the star becomes unsteady, the outside shell of the star begins to come off and those pieces make their way out into space which makes a planetary nebula. As that medium star disintegrates, it eventually becomes a white dwarf which eventually cools off into a black dwarf. The stars that have the shortest lives are the large mass stars. Stars of this size turn into a hyper giant or a super-giant as they get older because they become so unbalanced that they begin to tear apart or blow up, becoming a supernova. When the large explosion takes place, it will leave a neutron star or a black hole behind as the large mass stars can cause a very large explosion.

How does the life cycle of a low-mass star differ from the life-cycle of a high-mass star?
matter in stellar nebula decides the life of star less amount of hydrogen results in average star more amount of hydrogen results in massive star Edit: A very brief summary of the two main star life cycles: Low mass stars (like our Sun): Main Sequence Star, Red Giant, White Dwarf. High mass stars: Main Sequence Star, Red Giant, Supergiant, Supernova, then either a neutron star or a black hole. (Red dwarf stars should just go straight to the white dwarf stage after their time on the Main Sequence.)
The central rivet punches through what star?
The star is Polaris.
What is it called when the brightness of a star is measurable on a scale?
Star brightness is defined in terms of apparent magnitude, which is how bright the star appears from Earth. Star brightness is also defined by absolute magnitude, which is how bright a star appears at the standard distance of 36.2 light years. Luminosity is also a way that a star's light is measured.
