My Hero : My Life

In the fall of 2012, my mother almost succumbed to her illness. I had just begun my freshman year of high school midst angry conversations between my parents and the threat of separation. It would seem as if they bickered about the most irrelevant things, almost as if they had no other reason to fight other than the fight itself. Those moments were excruciatingly lonely, my father worked until the dead of night and my mother would come home exhausted from treatment. I now know that there was no one who felt more unvalued than my mother. I wish I had the ability to iron away this blunder that destiny had fabricated, however foolish this desire is.

Why would you get something like that? Never mind it is pretty cool. Even though its like 100 feet tall!!! I thought you guys were just going to the store and you came back with a mosterice truck! Is that what took you 5 hours? You are the best step dad ever! This is my step dad troy but his real name is adam but he doesn't like that name. That is why we call him troy. He is always getting stuff for him hos self or one of us. When he buys the stuff he doesn't tell so it is always a surprise.

Nature is the playground for every human. It is essential that we include nature in our lives; it keeps us on our correct path. However, if we dismiss ourselves from nature, we begin to stray from our correct path. We become engulfed in the distractions from the modern world . The only approach to appropriate this quandary is to break our pervicacious ways and return to peaceful serenity known as nature.

As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing

Good morning brother and sister, I pray all is well with each of you as we continue this series on the children of Israel... we hope if the spirit allows us to end this series this week... When God give you instruction to do something, don’t be greedy, don’t ask tons of questions, and most of all don’t be too lazy and don’t do it...

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.”(Joseph Campbell). Joseph Campbell showed how important hero’s are by creating the Hero’s Journey and that you can be a hero just through writing and showing it through different characters. A hero shows that you can help other people to make the world better

Joseph Campbell, an American mythological researcher, wrote a famous book entitled The Hero with a Thousand Faces In his lifelong research Campbell discovered many common patterns running through hero myths and stories from around the world. Years of research lead Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through Many followers of Campbell have defined the stages of his mono-myth in various ways, sometimes supplying different names for certain stages. For this reason there are many different versions of the Hero’s Journey that retain the same basic elements. these steps are ;ordinary world : This step refers to the hero's normal life at the start of the story, before the adventure begins. Call to Adventure:

Is not weird how we all heroes that go through the same path? According to Joseph Campbell, once a philosopher, that brought the many ideas of how in way we all go through the hero’s journey. In addition, he believed going through a path that allowed us to face fears or our “dragons.” Therefore, after facing our “dragons,” we could then face the inevitable. Consequently, we lose a pieces of ourselves and as we enter another world, we lose our perspective of life.

In "The Hero And The God" we follow a character named Bhudda who leaves his very comfortable life for a difficult journey, and is rewarded with the title "Teacher of God and Men".An in "the myth of ORPHEUS and EURYDICE" a half mortal, half immortal man named Orpheus who can sing very beautifully. The problem arises when his wife Eurydice dies the day of their wedding when a vapor bites her. He is determined to get her back, and so he makes a journey to the underworld, in which he succeeds and woos Hades and Persephone with his magical voice. His only request is Eurydice, whom is granted only if he leaves with her trailing behind, but never looking back until he is out of the underworld. When he leaves he turns to Eurydice going back with the

When it comes to representing the idea of the Hero’s Journey, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle, and the George Lucas film Star Wars all have similar and different ways of demonstrating the idea of the journey. This can be shown in the aspects like the Call to Adventure, Mentor/Helper, and the Approach. These aspects of the story are necessary for a decent science-fiction/fantasy story, and the books and movie stated above are each able to demonstrate them.

Mankind had believed themselves to have escaped the horrors that preyed on them in bygone ages. Perhaps they were right. Mostly. The torch of scientific progress kindles by newton and his companions spread like wildfire over the centuries that followed, and drove the beasts that dwelt in our shadows scampering back into the darkened pits that had spawned them; turning the hunter into the hunted. Physics, the idea that our world operates through universal laws, defeated the ancient magics that had once left Kings and nobles alike shivering in the all concealing night. Darwin and his concept of evolution banished the ancient monsters with such speed and ferocity that even hercules himself would have been envious. But there are still places in our world where the light of modern day hasn’t come to contact with . i come to you not with a tale of some hidden cave in the heart of the wilderness, but that endless sprawl that surrounds all of humanity's great achievements. The last great uncharted territory. The ocean

The Hero’s Journey Elizabeth Lane Back to the Future (1985) The hero’s journey is an outline that maps out stories and adventures. It is used to describe a layout of events, whether they are mundane or not. These steps can be applied to almost any adventure. The popular movie Back to the Future is a perfect example of just that.

On August 3rd, 900, my parents found out they were having a child. They prepared for a

The Hero’s journey, or in its more correct terminology the Monomyth is an object from the area of comparative mythology. Its definition in the most basic of forms, it is a pattern or outline that is used in storytelling, usually the myth. This pattern is found in many famous pieces from all around the world. In the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces from 1949 by author Joseph Campbell, this pattern is described in detail. Campbell describes that numerous myths from different times and areas of the world seem to share an identical structure in their storytelling. He summarized this with a well-known quote found at the intro of his book:

Lou Gehrig is by far my favorite hero both on and off the baseball field. He not only was a great baseball player for the New York Yankees, but a family man who fought a terrible disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis more commonly known as ALS. Even though he lost his life to this terrible disease, he did so with honor. He tried never to show fear of what he was going through rather he showed honesty and compassion to others. He was as strong a man as the trophy for the World Series winning team. He let the world know that even if you are having physical problems, you can still make a difference.
