Linda’s Viewpoint
I was furious with Vince for banishing and firing Shawn, Stephanie and Hunter. Stephanie had been the one who had asked me to tell Vince the news. I had been fine with it because this way, Stephanie and Hunter could still keep up their own relationship as well as take care of Shawn. When I had told Vince, he yelled at me for 10 minutes and then he marched all three of them into his office and fired them, after firing them; he banished them and their children. His actions angered me greatly. When I saw Stephanie hurrying around and trying to get things done in an absolute flap I told her that they could stay until they had got themselves organised enough to leave. However, I forgot to

    Similarly to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, the Heroine’s Journey is divided into a few main stages with more complex and compartmentalized elements; however, the transformations that occur in the two differ. The heroine also begins her narrative in an ordinary world but is typically mediocre, foolish, complacent or grief-stricken (usually due to poverty or the loss of a loved one). Though she is used to witnessing and enduring injustices, her former coping mechanisms are no longer sufficient, and there is some sort of impending doom that potentially causes a threat to her existing (familial) relationships. In contrast with the Heroe’s Journey, the heroine is not necessarily reluctant to start said journey, but the ideals and restrictions…

    The Hero’s Journey W.P. Inman, the main character of Cold Mountain, by Charles Frazier, undergoes a transformation during his Hero’s Journey. After being hospitalized from a bullet to the neck, Inman leaves through the hospital physically and spiritually wounded. Eventually, Inman begins his journey back to his hometown, Cold Mountain.

    Campbell begins his explanation of the hero’s journey by revealing the first step of his monomyth, The Call to Adventure. The call can not be seen as physical nor as musical, instead it can be viewed as every person's tether to the universe and when the universe pulls that tether, it demands the attention of those it calls. The universe should not be seen as tyrannical however, for it calls a person to adventure not to be cruel but to bestow the knowledge that a rite of passage must soon be taken. In the end though, each individual person must choose whether they accept the call to adventure or refuse it as seen when Adam & Eve in “Paradise Lost” are given the call when God forbids them from eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Representing Innocence…

    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.…

I never disrespect them in any way. In reading a certain paragraph in chapter 2, I must say I have a different perspective about nuns, I realize that I was quick to make an assumption based on a person religions rather than seeing that person for whom they are. It is important to consider here that even the person who is completely committed to a certain worldview, at times, may fall short of living in a way that exemplifies the values to which he or she truly holds.…
