The hero’s journey is broken down into three categories: separation, initiation, and return. Each category breaks down into 17-stages. In Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray, Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, and Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits, the protagonists embark upon the hero’s journey in order to make such choices that lead them to death. Dorian Gray takes the journey in search of beauty and youth. Christopher McCandless takes off on an adventure into the wild. Clara communicates with spirits and explores the world of magic.

My father who has attended the program many of times introduced me to the foundation and thought I should give it a try under the Young Men’s program with 8 other teens from around the world.

During the trip I learned that in relationships it is not only about how much you have in common, but that you trust each other and can work together as one.

Shortly after the discovery that my beloved wife had gone missing, I began to retrace my steps in search of her. I believe I must have lost her in the process of cycling up the hill; however, I cannot seem to make out which path I had come from.

Cal walked through a trail in the woods during the last gasps of dying summer. Browning ferns brushed against his jeans while he paced. The trail was overgrown and undefined, and Cal stomped through sticks and tree branches to make his way through. He emerged through the thicket into a clearing for a power line route. He saw the old derelict boat, his family’s boat, nested in its 30 year resting place. He walked up to it and put his hands on the giant steering wheel and looked down at the undergrowth of plants at its base. Traditionally, the end of august was prime huckleberry season. And the base of the old boat was traditional grounds for some sizeable huckleberry bushes. When he was younger, Cal, his sister and cousin would bring buckets

I was born from the gravel and clay. The clay was kneaded by the hand of the gods, and it was made to be a tool that is capable of taking on infinite shapes.
