The Mentor Archetype
An archetype is an original model of a person or ideal example which can be copied by others. It is a symbol that can universally be recognized (The Writing).

A mentor is a wise and trusted counselor, teacher, or adviser who can be a part of one’s life and experiences (Mentor). They are trustworthy and known for giving wise advice when come to with a problems. Mentors are also those who inspire and teach others while getting nothing in return.

Mentors should reflect confidence, hope, optimism, and resiliency as well as the ability to promote others and their strengths. This sounds uncannily like the descriptions of an authentic leader that we have been reading about in our literature.
An archetype is a model or ideal example in which other things are patterned. There are many archetypes that could represent many characters; but for my character, Haley Kincain, the caregiver archetype represents her the best. Haley represents a caregiver due to constantly caring for her father and his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, along with helping her friends with problems like divorce and bullying. I found her to be pragmatic, considerate and patient throughout the book.
In the novel Tangerine Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype mentor because he is very kind/nice to paul.Luis is also the mentor to paul because he inspires paul to be the best he can be.
What does a mentor do? It gives advice. The mythological archetype is the I picked was mentor. Mythological is imaginary and fictitious, and archetype is the original pattern or model from which all things of the same kind are copied. In the novel Tangerine, Luis is the mentor in three ways.
In this video of Helen Keller she invites people over to her house for entertainment. It shows her interacting with her friends the same way that a person who didn't have any disabilities would. This source is helpful in proving that Keller always did her best to live a normal life despite her disabilities.
Have you ever have been or been called a Mentor, a Mentor can be many different people, such as your parents or friends. In the novel “Tangerine” there is a Mentor, “Luis Cruz”, Luis Cruz plays a big part in Paul Fisher’s life. In the novel “Tangerine”, Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype of the mentor by being positive, aids by giving advice, and sometimes acts as the hero’s conscience.
Secondly, for a character archetype, I picked The Mentor. The mentor is an older, wiser teacher to the initiates. He often serves as a mother or father figure. He gives the hero gifts such as weapons, food, magic, and information and also serves as a role model or a hero's conscience. The Mentor, Mufusa in the story

Archetypes are twelve different models of people’s minds. These archetypes are formed by experiences we had as we evolve throughout our lives. My archetype I have chosen for Solomon Reed is the sage. The sage’s goal is to use intelligence and analysis to understand the world. His biggest fear is to be misled.
In The Hobbit, there are a variety of characters that play vital roles in the story. While this novel is filled with many diverse characters, some have specific roles to play. These can be categorized into archetypes. Archetypes describe the functions that people or items play in a story. Seven of these archetypes exist, and three of them stand out in The Hobbit.
Mentors are influential, senior organizational members with advanced experience and knowledge committed to providing perception to a mentee’s career development. A mentor supports a mentee’s views of self within a work role as well as it supports the mentor’s sense of self for the valuable wisdom and experience they have to share.
I believe a good mentor should have the ultimate goal of successfully teaching the student, meanwhile, guiding them properly in a manner in which he/she learns by themselves. In the National Honors Society, I have participated in a program called “Mustang Buddies”.

When you’re a teenager, you need someone to look up to, you need a mentor. You need an inspiration. This person can be anyone. It could be a teacher, a friend, a sibling, a parent, an aunt or uncle, a grandparent, anyone. For me, this person is my dance teacher Erica Ireland.

Not only is she my mentor, but she is also my inspiration. Webster’s Dictionary defines an inspiration as “something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create”, or “a force or influence that inspires someone”, as well as “a person, place,
There are many people in this world that we consider great humanitarians. Mother Teresa was a unique individual that stood out of the crowd because of her involvement in helping the sick, poor and dying. She spent everyday of her adulthood caring for people that were in need by setting up the Missionary of Charity along with many homes for the people she cared for. Mother Teresa won many awards throughout her lifetime for her dedication to care for people in need. It is no wonder that Mother Teresa won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and is considered a saint.
