Summary Of A Hero's Journey Chapter 1

Campbell describes in detail each stage of the archetypal Hero's Journey, reiterating at several points that the archetype has both a clear basis and a clear echo in the actual living existence of each human being. These spiritual echoes are awakened by metaphor, the various uses of which Campbell also describes in detail. The ultimate purpose of both myth and metaphor, Campbell maintains, is to awaken in each individual human being an awareness of the spiritual aspect of life. This awakening, Campbell maintains, is the first step in the necessary journey away from resistance to the various inevitable physical and spiritual truths associated with being human (i.e., death and suffering) and toward an embracing of them as part of the universal

There are many novels that use the plot diagram called the Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey is comprised of twelve sections that move along the story of adventure. Some of the most common sections include Crossing the Thrushhold, Refusal, and Atonement. Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes uses the Hero’s Journey as a plot diagram. In this book, Jerome, a black twelve year old boy, is shot and killed by an officer.

“I will miss you too, Carrie” she said, releasing her arms and pushed me away gently. Her eyes locked mine. “Promise me, if you have a problem, don’t hesitate to call me. I am not a stranger, so aren’t you” she emphasized her last words by nodding her

“Lloyd!” Seph, who up to this point had been blocked out by the wall of soldiers surrounding me, came running up next to me, but seemingly didn’t know how to continue his thoughts as he paused and I could tell he was having an internal debate for all of second before saying. “Welcome home.” Despite everything I couldn’t help but snort in laughter. “I would say it’s nice to be home, but unfortunately things seems to have only gotten worse in the time I was away.”

With a huff, she continued past Matt’s car and then George’s and headed for the entrance. A man inside approached the glass doors and let her in. “You’re with Caleb?” he verified.

The Captain turned to face her crew and straightened her shoulders. "Space decided to trap us with Commander Vengeance. Whoever finds a solution gets a raise. If no one does, you're all going to be fired. OUT OF THE AIRLOCK." She added a scowl for extra effect and stomped out of the

“Aubrey, what’s going on?” Dylan questioned her, with a look of utter curiosity on his face, even though his fists were clenched.

He stood there contemplating on what to do. He didn’t want to start all this mess again, but the pressure to be part of the group took over. Luca decided to follow and hopped in the car. Isaiah took the wheel and Luca sat reluctantly in the back seat. As the car started and with a few revs they were off, flying down the main street of Bay Grove.

“Rachel, calm down,” Jasiel told me. “We’re not going to stay here forever. Someone will help us.

Reaching over she unlocked the two locks on the garage doors, and said “come on in, everyone.”

Joker sped past the turnoff to the warehouse until he could see down the opposite side of the hill. Trey used the radio to get the other vehicles moving after seeing the road in front of them was empty. Back at the parking lot, after Joker peeled off to check the warehouse drive, he watched the plow strike down the last of the goons after making forty mile an hour turns to line up on each target. The bodies were

“What’s going on Tre,” Mike, my best friend, sat behind me and said. ‘What you doing. Checking out the new transferred females.”

Dean and I practically flew out of the humvee, slamming the doors closed in our wake. Amber and Scott joined us, the former giving me an odd look as she shut her own door.

Anger faded and romance bloomed. Quinn called out “All abroad!” The red car was added and off they went.

“You do not need to worry about me, Rach. I am not planning on going anywhere.” She said as she fastened the last pigtail. She had to admit, that Rachel looked much hotter with her in pigtails. Plus she had a much better body, outside of that disgusting cigarette burn scar. Remembering that the day she had gotten that, she was sick.
