The Hero's Journey-Original Writing

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

Small or big, everything we do in life is part of our journey. Reg Harris’ “The Hero’s Journey” describes the voyage one takes throughout life to grow and change as a person. He breaks the journey down into eight steps leading to the return. It starts out as a goal that isn’t always easy to reach, one goes through hardship and personal doubts only to succeed and become a better person. An example of this journey can be found in the movie, Troy through the character Achilles. Achilles is a strong fearless warrior in the movie, Troy who goes through “The Hero’s Journey” and ends up with a change of heart.

Nebs pounded on the bridge door furiously with her hooves. She knew it was futile effort, but she persisted.

I wanted to be there, even though it was quite a trip. The traffic was dreadful especially on this holiday weekend. The minute I got your letter, I had the courage to risk it all. What matters now is you’re back and my heart starts beating again. I’ve reached the hill finally. There was a chill in the air. The only sounds were bugs thrumming in the grasses above and birds chirping even higher up. And there you were, looking as if we didn’t part. There was no hesitation, we linked arms with each other. No urging needed, we kissed and

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.

“Small town big heart,” they say locked away behind their cold immaculate castle gates that rest on the remains of the previous farmland and plains. The collective heart beats but only at a convenient time suiting parties involved. “A place where everyone matters,” they utter as their motto in indistinguishable monotone voices. The people are too wrapped up in their everyday lives to ever be concerned about their neighbor, they look through life with gilded glasses. It’s as if a fog had descended slowly creeping into their view distorting what they once held most dear.

There are many stages of the hero’s journey that a hero has to face in order to achieve his goal. The first stage of the hero’s journey is the ordinary world, this allows us to get to know the hero and identify him before the journey begins. The second is the call to adventure this is when the hero is faced with a challenge that makes the hero have to leave the ordinary world to a special world to achieve his quest and to restore balance. Third is the refusal of the call this is when the hero decides if he should leave the safety of his boundaries to achieve his quest or not. Next is meeting the mentor the mentor is a person who provides lessons and training needed to achieve the goal. Crossing the threshold is where the hero must separate

Its Passover and I’m flying over a table in an empty room all by myself until I hear a noise. Twelve men including Jesus Christ walk in and sat down. Jesus took a seat at the end of the table talking to the other twelve. They were all talking to each other and having a good time. Jesus Christ, sitting at the end of the table, told all of the men around the table to the, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me”. I didn’t know what he was talking about at first until One of the men stood up and replied,” Surely not I, Rabbi?”. Jesus then turned to the man and said, “yes, it is you.” everyone continued to eat and converse with each other until Jesus took the loaf of unleavened bread, stood up, and declared to all the men at the table,”

By the time Peter arrived at the castle the sun was close to setting. He sat down in the solar to read for a little before Adelina came to collect him so they could walk to the chapel together. Afterwards, they walked back to the castle and Adelina finished preparing the deer meat that Peter had caught that day. They didn't like to waste time in eating fresh meat, as it would go off quickly. Adelina was a great cook and Peter loved the vegetables she prepared from the gardens. The two of them ate the meal and chatted about how the estate was going.

Charity and the children left Marilee's amid warm hugs and wishes for a safe journey. The girls especially, were reluctant to leave. They enjoyed being at Marilee's, having the luxuries of a roof over their heads and not stuck riding in a wagon all day. Charity figured being there reminded them of being home with Nancy, because Marilee took them under her wing and into the kitchen with her to help her cook. The boys were a different story- they were raring to go; they enjoyed camping out and being on the trail. To them, it was a grand adventure. The last couple of years, the older boys had gone with their father and grandfather, to check the traps. And, they had even gotten to go to Fort Charlotte a time or two. But the girls had always been

So to begin with the “Hero’s” Journey. I believe it’s a way of literature that is very common and easily appealed to laymen yet in reality, It doesn’t exist kind of, the entire idea of the hero’s journey seems to revolve around a sense of objective moral understanding insofar that it follows an apparent “Hero” with an “Abyss” often seen as the ultimate personal evil that must be overcome and defeated. However, morality doesn’t exist in the way they present it and holds no weight in our lives at all. Any belief that should be followed must be justified yet a justified moral belief must be derived from some inferential rationale which leads to being infinitely regressive. A justified moral belief’s justification is from another justified moral belief which justification comes from yet another justified belief and so on. To go further into the propositional

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.

We set off on the Missouri River, bound into the vast wilderness. There is little comfort in our daily lives. The sleeping quarters for us was a preposterously cramped, little room. The rotten smell of sweat makes me want to jump off this ship and swim all the way back to the original departing point. Obviously, I won’t do this, I have a duty and I will fulfill this task no matter what I have to live through. I guess it was just my will as a soldier acting up. I won’t even complain to the captains who were Lewis and Clark since they were my superiors. Any superior is meant to be followed, obeyed and given full respect from all of their underlings. I’ve also seen many other experienced soldiers aboard this journey. Some of them I like, and some of them I absolutely despise. This was also the same for the enlistees that are along with us on this

When he leaves the hideout the next day (well, in the next few hours, he supposes), there's a subdued sort of terror creeping first into the dark parts of the city. The fear grows silently, quickly, and engulfs everything, especially noise, within the hour.
