Personal Narrative: My Hero's Journey

Improved Essays
I had been walking for hours. Mother and Father did not know I was leaving. I did not understand why they yelled at me for such a petty reason. There was so much wrong with discovering. If I wanted to to become an explorer, I shall be one! Plus, traveling (especially near this beach) helped me think. I did not like sitting on the dining table and doing math for taxes like Father, or serving the mayor by organizing files like Mother. My heart lied somewhere else. I wanted to explore. I was getting nowhere with my parents, so decided to run away. I kept this to myself, though. I did not dare to be near my friends this month. If I did not tell them where I would be going, they would be put under lie detectors and beat it would not tell the truth. Leaving my parents would be a favor to them. They would not have to struggle to pay for three. Now they would not have to pay for a burden like me. Once I become an official explorer I would go back to find Mother and Father. Then I would call them to my mansion and live happily ever aft-. …show more content…

I pulled my hands out of my pockets and pulled up my sleeves. My finger nails started to work, digging the sand and I did not stop. Even though my hands were filled with sand, kept digging. I started to see my discovery. I had a diamond- no diamonds and gems with gold.. The sides of my mouth started to tug, forming a smile. I knew this was going to be my big break. I started to feel my head mix with feelings. The biggest feeling was

    Have you ever encountered an absolutely gorgeous, charismatic hunk-of-man who, upon meeting him for the first time, had you convinced every move you'd made in your life, up to that point, led you directly to him? Did you feel strangely alive at the time; nevertheless fearing you might die because you suddenly forgot how to inhale, becoming light-headed due to a lack of oxygen? Initially, you probably fell into a state of panic as your eyes grew wide and your heart pounded painfully in your chest, but just in the knick of time you suddenly remembered you could breathe all on your own. In the days that followed, did you diligently fill every waking moment of your day with thoughts of him, reliving every second of the magic, never wanting to…

    Joseph Campbell was a scholar who studied ancient mythology for many years. He came up with the idea of the Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey says that all the heroes will come across many processes throughout their journey. Each of the processes gets the hero closer to his/her prize. Perhaps I am not a hero, but I have experienced many things on leaving my home state and coming to a foreign one.…

    Come crossroads in human minds, from here it is your story. Decide if you will, what to believe, a barrier to rest upon as the pages slowly turn, and the end draws nigh. Finality lies ahead, but it is not written in the stars, it is like sand in time, particles shifting across shadowed plains of unseen potential. We must be blind, and in this blindness, justify what we feel before us. Please, you needn't deny yourself.…

    RARELY has obedience laid upon me so difficult a task as this of writing about prayer; for one reason, because I do not feel that God has given me either the power or the desire for it, besides which, during the last three months I have suffered from noises and a great weakness in my head that have made it painful for me to write even on necessary business. However, as I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible, my will submits with a good grace, although nature seems greatly distressed, for God has not given me such strength as to bear, without repugnance, the constant struggle against illness while performing many different duties. May He, Who has helped me in other more difficult matters, aid me with His grace…

    Joseph Campbell, the creator of the hero’s journey, did a lot of research on ancient mythology. He discovered that many heroes travel the same paths to becoming a hero. Campbell decided that heroes come across many challenges that are put into stages and in those stages the hero grows closer to the reward at the end. I am definitely not a hero, but my journey of finding Christ and giving my life to him has absolutely made me into a better person overall. As I look at my journey of finding Christ, I see that it has many similarities to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.…

    The ray of light from the flashlight casts a luminescent glow on the ground, allowing us to keep a watchful eye on where we are stepping. As we walk, I feel the crunch of breaking thin ice, and the stickiness of the mud under my feet. I smell the crisp, clean aroma of the morning air. We weave our way through the woods trying to avoid puddles of unfrozen water, and logs that are in the way of the trails we have made. Finally, I spot the…

Leaning on one knee, digging into the granular ground, I crouch over. Gently I slide my hand on the closest rock to me. The rough texture having a serrated feeling to the touch of a gentle hand.…
