    Why would a successful football star throw his life away?

    According to Joseph Campbell’s A Hero With A Thousand Faces, a hero’s journey is described as a “monomyth” that follows a narrative formula similar to the cosmogonic cycle, which is cycle of creation. The movie Up is one of the innumerable stories that fit the various stages of hero’s journey specified in Stuart Voytilla’s Myth and Movies. In addition, many archetypes and roles are clearly demonstrated in the story, such as Carl sacrifices and serves as the hero, the little boy Russell issues challenges as the herald, etc. However, the archetype “mentor”, who serves as a guide, is somewhat ambiguous as it changes from time to time. As the story develops, the protagonist, who originally wants to fly the house to Paradise Falls, sees a more profound meaning to his quest and begins a new one to save Kevin the bird and become a hero.…

    A hero or a heroine may seem like they can all face the obstacles that they will go through throughout their journey, but that journey won’t be complete if he or she doesn’t meet people along the way that could help her or give her a harder time in accomplishing his or her goal. This movie falls on the fantasy genre because Sarah met strange and magical characters like the goblins, Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Jareth the Goblin King, and Ludo whom she met in the movie Labyrinth. Some might even point out that Labyrinth can fall into fairytale subgenre, and that is very likely with the components that the movie had in Sarah’s adventure to the castle (Labyrinth) (“Fairy Tale”). On the start of the movie where Sarah was telling Toby a story, they showed…

    Every hero goes through a journey cycle, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, et cetera et cetera. Each of these heroes’ journey cycle has an effect on the theme of their respective stories as well as helping to develop their plots. James Dashner’s novel, The Maze Runner, helps express this statement as Dashner utilizes the hero’s journey in order to introduce and develop the theme of his novel, while employing the hero’s journey in a way that helps form his plot in an intriguing way. James Dashner makes use of the hero’s journey cycle in his novel, “The Maze Runner”, to form key plot components including the exposition, the climax, and the resolution. In “The Maze Runner”, Dashner uses the departure stage of a hero’s journey cycle to create the exposition for his novel, starting by allowing readers to obtain the setting, the protagonist, and the internal conflict of the protagonist in his novel through the “beginning of the adventure”, a vital step in the departure stage of a hero’s journey cycle (Dashner Pgs. 1-3).…
