My hero’s journey started a year ago when I met my best friend, Michael. We met online and when we started talking we instantly became friends. He is tall and he is really smart and a good thinker, he loves to play basketball and he being just 16 he has accomplished so much. We had so much in common and I could talk to him about whatever and I knew he wouldn’t judge me. The only problem then was that he lived in Hollywood and I lived in Livermore. After a few months of talking to him we became best friends and we talked about his life mostly. He had depression and I like to think that when we talked I was helping him. We had a lot of really fun moments, we laughed, talked about when we would come visit each other and made plans but we …show more content…
I was very worried and I tried to contact Michael but didn’t get a response. After school that monday I come home and I finally got in touch with Michael. I told him that I still wanted to be friends and that I didn’t want to lose him. His response shocked me. He said he had a goal and he didn’t care who he had to take down to get there, he said that all his friends were a distraction and that Josh and I were fine without him. After I read this I sent him one last message “You don’t understand how bad you’re actually hurting your friends and family, hurting me, it’s not even worth it anymore, goodbye Michael.”
The fact that this happened so close to the holiday where we celebrate family and friends shocks me and I wonder what it is like to be my former friend Michael, I wonder what he had to have been going through, and the pain he must’ve been feeling. I’ve told few people, and they don’t know what it’s like to almost lose your best friend and then lose him again. I have lost a friend before this and never fully got over it. This event caused much stress and pain. I know that I will never recover fully from this, but I will try my best to live life to the
Watching a film, one can easily recognize plot, theme, characterization, etc., but not many realize what basic principle lies behind nearly every story conceived: the hero’s journey. This concept allows for a comprehensive, logical flow throughout a movie. Once the hero’s journey is thoroughly understood, anyone can pick out the elements in nearly every piece. The hero’s journey follows a simple outline. First the hero in question must have a disadvantaged childhood. Next the hero will find a mentor who wisely lays out his/her prophecy. Third the hero will go on a journey, either literal or figurative, to find him/herself. On this journey the hero will be discouraged and nearly quit his/her quest. Finally, the
Hunger Games, Star Wars, and A Wrinkle In Time have many similarities, and differences when they go through the Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey is what the main character goes through in a book or movie. For example, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Ender's Game, and much more.
Looking at the finished product I turned in for Essay 1, I don’t think I deserved a 100%. As I read my essay I found nothing but mistakes and points left out. I then went back and read the first draft of that essay and man is there is difference. As I was reading my original essay I found out that I was inserting facts into sentences. That’s not bad but no the goal. The goal is to create a story about your hero’s journey and relate it to you. Mine was not that. Looking back on workshops and feedback I saw how much my paper had changed and how I raised my bar. I took sentences I had written and moved, created, and formed an essay that was different and better then the first draft; by creating a story. Now using all the knowledge, I have learned throughout the semester, I can use it revise my essay one
The Hunger Games, Star Wars, and A Wrinkle in Time all relate to the Hero’s Journey in different ways, but there are also similarities in the approach of Hero’s Journey. The refusal in Hunger Games and Star Wars are alike in the fact that Katniss and Luke’s choice of refusal is for the best of their family. Meg, however, has no choice and regrets going until she realizes that she will get her dad back. Crossing the threshold is different because Katniss has time to soak up the information and Luke just has to leave right away. During the point of the Test/ Allies/ Enemies, the stories are different by the intensity of the events; but they are also alike. The Hero’s Journey throughout the Hunger Games, Star Wars, and A Wrinkle in Time all have many differences and similarities in the approach of the Hero’s Journey.
That was a lot of money, and I didnt want to let Tony down so I got in the car and started to drive. As I drove the road was empty. I had confidence I was not going o get caught. It was a slightly wormer day out witch might have been because the sun was out. I had the windows down and was blaring music just trying to enjoy life when a cop pulls out behind me.
The hero’s journey can be found in ancient stories from thousands of years ago as well as present-day stories that may hit the big screen. The hero experiences a chain of events that gives he or she, typically a male, a title of “the hero”. The hero's journey begins with either an inner longing to go on a quest, or an exterior call that requires the hero’s help outside of the ordinary world. Heroes may, at first, refuse the call, or may respond to the call immediately. However, there is usually some resistance to the call because of the potential danger he or she could face from the unknown world. In most cases, a guide or a supernatural aid will direct the hero on the journey. In the hero's journey, one may encounter a threshold

In the Summer of 2016, my family and I were at SeaWorld in San Diego. I was having a great time. We had just gotten out of the sea lion show and still had thirty minutes to spend before the next show. It was then when my dad spotted a roller coaster called The Manta. We went to the railing and watched the people on it. I had never ridden a roller coaster before, and I knew where my dad was going with this. I watched the people on it scream with their arms flailing and my stomach immediately got butterflies.
I rose from my bed with the sun shining in my face. The previous day I had a friend spend the night, so we woke up, the first thing that we did was play some video games for an hour. Then as we were playing I realized that we were gonna meet other people at the skate park, a person there was a professional, amateur, skater!!! So we got dressed real quick had some cinnamon bun’s then left. As i was packing up I brought my skateboard, which I was trying to get better at by asking people at the skatepark to teach me, and my scooter in case I wanted to just chill and ride.
Screams filled the air. Only then did Jessie Grant realize they were his. He had been having this dream for some time, his dad’s and mom’s death. Before they boarded a cruiser when he was seventeen, his parents were his best friends, now he had nothing.
I dedicate this to my incredible parent for their love and continued support and believe in me even when at times I had none.
Hi! I’m Peter Parker, the tiny, round spider in the corner of the room. I will be telling you all about my great adventure from the most miserable little creature to a lucky, eight-legged spider. My adventure started the moment I was born, because my mother died. There is no way that I would forget the eight blank eyes staring into mine. I couldn’t handle it, so I scuttled in no particular direction for two days straight. When I finally settled down, I found a dimly lit room that reeked of humans. There was dust everywhere, but I was too tired to move on. I then proceeded to set up a web, which I innately knew how weave; it’s so cool! Yet, I went three full days without eating. It was just torture! Can you imagine no food at all for even a single day? Why couldn’t some juicy little bugs just step onto the edge of my gleaming web? All I could do was stay still and keep my pain in. Sometimes, I can’t stand it, and I cry for hours. No one accompanied me, and I kept thinking that sometimes, I was living the most sorrowful life anyone could ever imagine. There were even times when I found myself screaming at my non-existing mother for giving birth to me!
There was another thing that was hurting me, and it was the sadness in my heart. He was my best friend, he felt like a brother to me. After that day when he left,I felt like my personality changed slightly. My attitude changed in a way where I needed to stand up for myself. Everybody bullied me and him. When he left I thought I was going to be the main target for everyone. One of them came up to me and they said they were going to beat me up. I said “no you will not, and I will tell the teacher,”. The kid looked at me scared and he left. Everything changed from that day
I’m sorry that this had to happen. I couldn’t even imagine what you’re going through right now. Everything happened too quickly, there was no time for us to react. I just wish there was more time to look around.
