The Hero's Path

What images come to mind as you reflect on your childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the warmest of memories. Yet for many mermaids swim their thoughts, princesses get swept of their feet, and lions roar to their loyal place in the animal kingdom. There is no doubt that today’s entertainment has most of its touch using classical influences. Walt Disney has produced animated films that have captured the heart and imagination of audiences of all ages around the world through the magic of storytelling and imagery. Many of us appreciate the imagination and magic that Disney puts into its animations with out knowing they are based off of classical and traditional storylines

Zeke and I has been together for a year and a half. Zeke and I met August 28, 1993 I was working at the mall at the time, in a man's clothing store; and he come in with his cousin Junior. I ask them if they needed help and Junior say yes, because his the one that was buying some clothes, so instead of me helping him I started talking to Zeke and didn't help Junior at all.

“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

In 2014, I attended the Hero's journey summer program in hope to discover myself and to become a better man. My father who has attended the program many of times introduced me to the foundation and thought I should give it a try under the Young Men’s program with 8 other teens from around the world. Nervous but also excited about discovering who I truly was and what brotherhood really meant I found myself becoming the best of friends with these guys for 7 days. During the trip I learned that in relationships it is not only about how much you have in common, but that you trust each other and can work together as one. I could not tell you those guys last name or their favorite video game but I can tell you that I knew they had my back no matter what.

I decided to go through the front door and I saw my mom Neith and my dad Ra in the kitchen making some Konafah. He went to his room and he saw my brother on his way, Ramses was in his room working on a new design to help out our parents.

There I was sitting at the table eating what the nuns like to call food what just looked like to me slop I was sitting with my friend Felix. He came across a carrot and it was a full-size carrot he just sat there and stared at it not even touching it if he did not hurry up and I was going to grab it and eat it.

A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

“The Hero’s Journey Defined” is an article written by instructor Anthony Ubelhor. “The Hero’s Journey Defined” explains the format of Joseph Campbell's concept of the hero’s journey. This concept involves certain characteristics a hero might embody, as well as some sort of call to adventure. It continues to explain the order of that adventure, the order being, departure (1), initiation (2), and return (3). In a hero’s journey, the hero may go on the adventure on his own accord, or he may be forced to go due to some sort of injustice that may have occurred. The article explains that “the initiate may go willingly or may be forced by circumstance to go on the quest.” Having an understanding of why the hero goes on his adventure is key to understanding the rest of the article, for it gives the reader an understanding to the hero’s reason to do what he does, while understanding other parts of the article.

Everyone has their own adventure(s) in life and so everyone obviously has their own definition of what a Hero's Journey is. All journeys, however, include a majority of the same stages; from slaying dragons, both literally and figuratively, following one's bliss and going into the belly of the beast. Before we go any further, let me explain what the Hero's Journey even is. The Hero's Journey is a series of events that Joseph Campbell studied and first identified as a journey that all people go though. The pattern of the events appears in not only works from all ends of the literary spectrum including drama and myths, but is also linked to psychological development and self-growth. This journey applies to fictional characters, of course,

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.

Let me tell you a short story about this boy. It was 9 o'clock in the afternoon when his parent asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said with enthusiasm "I want to be a doctor", not knowing what it is. After that we just went about our days. Ten years later, he's a senior in junior high school getting ready to embark on the road where many have failed. He did what he had to do so that he can graduate. Graduation day was here and pretty quickly. His parents said to him, "no more fun and games, you are going to enter high school. All I want from you is to pass your class of high grades , graduate and go on to college to pursue your career to become a doctor." This kid heard a lot of things when it comes to becoming a doctor and

How does one become a hero? The process of becoming a hero involves several steps such as, initiation, when the hero overcome a feat, crossing the threshold, the hero proving himself worthy of the quest. Road of trials is an excellent time for a hero to prove himself or herself, they have to survive through different landscapes. You can see this through the comparison of Star Wars The Last Jedi and The Hobbit.

Next, the hero continues the hero’s journey starting with crossing the first threshold until he approaches the most critical point. Mike’s entrance into the special world begins with his crossing of the first threshold. Crossing the first threshold requires him to travel to Popperville and convince the selectmen to let them dig the cellar of the new town hall. These selectmen are the threshold guardian, or the force that separates the hero from the special world and gives tests to prove the hero’s worth. The selectmen exhibit these characteristics as they resist hiring Mike as a digger. The hero faces tests, allies, and enemies in the special world. Mike faces tests as he tries to secure the position digging the cellar. He is forced to make

The most critical part of the journey of a hero, is the challenges they face. A knight may have to save a princess from a castle, but first he must face the challenge of the dragon in his way. Or someone may want to get a law passed, but to do so they have to appeal to their local government. Challenges can be seen as an obstacle to the hero, but often times, they are also an opportunity. They can be an opportunity to get stronger, or learn something. If you face the challenge head-on, and don’t cower away, you will likely end up a better person for
