Analysis Of Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Decent Essays
“The Incredible Journey” was somewhat a very big part of my childhood. Although the version I remember was the Disney movie “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey”. Both the book and the movie present multiple issues that the main characters face through the book. This book is about 3 animals who embark on a remarkable adventure that no one could ever imagine. In the beginning of this story the animals are left to be tended to by the housekeeper while the family leaves. However, the animals of course were not thrilled about this decision, and they leave to find their family who they thinks left them behind. The animals include two dogs and one cat, which means they do not always get along. Which makes sense I have never read a story where

    King Arthur and Spiderman are two fictitious characters that are both similar, and dissimilar to each other. In an excerpt from Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces, he writes about monomyth, which is a twelve step process that is divided into four sections. This represents a continuous cycle that the character in the story must go through in order to complete their journey. King Arthur and Spiderman follow the cycle of the Heroes Journey by events in their lives made parallel to the cycle of the Heroes Journey. King Arthur and Spiderman, although from two different ends of the spectrum, are actually alike, both coming from epic tales of struggles and triumph.…

    Often time, wars are believed and seen as a mean to defend the home nation from physical catastrophe of foreign land and soldiers are praised and honored for their sacrifice. Not often enough do the common people take the time to scrape the surface with sayings like “thank you for your time” to look at the understanding that even though a war “makes men” and unites them, Hynes says that it isolates and cuts them off from other people. We are also controlled into believing that we understand exactly how a soldier feels from what the media broadcast to us, and then we take that false understanding and channels it to a way that we think may help soldiers deal with their traumas or past. The truth that the media provide has been filtered out enough…

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking. In the first scene of the movie Thelma wants to ask her husband, Darryl, for permission to go on the trip with Louise. He yells at her and she quickly changes the subject. In my opinion, this is one of the most crucial scenes in the entire film because it outlines the sexism and discrimination that these two women will face throughout the course of the movie.…

    What made this quite significant is the fact that most runaways began their journey unaided, and due to this, some of them would be unfortunate enough get themselves recaptured while others could find the necessary help to escape. However, that did not mean that they would have a hard time finding the network, as it turns out that more and more people joined in the network during the time slavery was legal. It even meant that more white Americans, whether North or South, were prepared to aid runaways and give some assistance to the one who had escaped and those who were still behind. And despite their struggles, they continue to push on forward for a world of equality. And the President was also in their side, as he had announced the Emancipation…

    1. Figure 4.3, Going Home by Jacob Lawrence. This piece was created in 1946, and was painted with gouache, which is an opaque type of watercolor. I personally did not like this piece, I’m not a fan of the medium used, but nevertheless I found it interesting. In my opinion, the low value and intensity of the yellows and greens are unappealing, I think they make this train or bus seem outdated and old, or just dirty.…

    If I could compose an alternate plot for Mary Higgins Clark’s novel, No Place Like Home, I would have made Jeff MacKingsley to listen to Sergeant Clyde Earley’s plan, and search through the trash behind Henry’s without the search warrant. If Jeff accompanied Clyde, he wouldn’t have been cocky and made it so obvious that the evidence of the red paint used in the vandalism was found by leaving the trash can tipped over and open on the ground. Therefore, Henry would not have noticed that the police had gained insight that he was the one who had caused the vandalism, and without informing his boss of the problem, would have stayed alive. The police would find away around the warrant and find Henry guilty, however, they would have never had…
