Hero's Journey Eassy

This eassy is going to be about The Hero's Journey (Beowulf). Beowulf had a dream and he finally decided to go ahead and follow his dream. Beowulf completed 2 journey's. He died at his final journey.

Hi seperation was that in the text book version they are barely there. Another one was put up that he needed tp protect his people from the dragon and it was his fate. All the seperation steps together and made them the last step in the seperation.

The abyss is actually drawn out longer then it should to keep the feel of depressing loneliness in the second and the last. After the first two monster he changed and it showed in his old age when he was respected and humble. Being killed Grendel and it's mom made him a god.

In my vacations I went to Sacramento
California. The first thing me and my
mom did was that we visit my uncle in
the afternoon we went to the hospital
because my sister was going to have a surgry.

When we were at the hospital we spent
a whole week there me and my mom. It was
a little bit bored but it was ok.

When we were at the hospital my uncle
used to visit us everyday of the week
and also he used to take food to eat
because we didn't know any good places
to eat.

When we came back from sacramento
everybody was happy to see us and
also because everything came out good
about my sister's surgry.

In this paper I wrote about me, my mom,
and my sister's surgry. Also we did completed
the horo's journey because we had all the
things that are required at the hero's journey.

The hero journey i'm going to write about is Phillip and the way his life was going when world war two was going on. When phillip was living in the Caribiean they thought they were never thought they were not going to get attacked by the germans but then ther was a bombing on boats that were carring oil in and out of the carribien so Phillips mother dicides to leave. When they were leaving they got torpedoed and there boat sunk but Phillip got saved by Timothy and they were stranded on a boat for a couple of days. Intill they were saved Timothy is Phillips mentor when Phillip fell out of the boat Timothy saved him. They did'nt know if they were going to get saved or not. After a few months Phillip gets saved but Timothy dies wheb the island they were staying at get hits by a Hurricane. When Phillip gets back home Phillip gets his sight back and then after a while he goes back to see Timothes grave with his eyes closed
My Hero's Journey is about Phillip Enright, the reason im writing about Phillip because Phillips story is intresting to me and i also picked him cause its easy to write about

Phillips Separation:His calling is when Phillips mom tells him that there moving to a different country Phillip wasnt really happy because they are leaving his dad at war were their at a safe place. Phillips threshold is when his mom tells him that their going to a different country.Phillips descent is that him and his mom are on a boat going to West Virginia. My oponion about this is it was right choice for them to go to another country because its safe.

Phillips Initiation:Phillips abyss is he is on an island.The mentor is an old black guy who stranded with him and that was his mentor and he helped Phillip how to do things and his name was Timothy.Timothy dies and Phillip lives by him self on a unknown island. My opinion about this is Phillip is real tough living by himself.

Phillips Return:Phillip returns to West Virginia with his mom and dad.

The Hero's journey I chose was the Bert Monroe on the movie "the fastest indian".
Bert Monroe travels half the globe to become the fastest indian motorcyclist on earth at a race at the salt flats in salt lake city.
Bert Monroe left new zealand a new zealander and came back not just an american but the fastest indian motorcyclist in the world. On the journey bert meets many new freinds on the ship going to the u.s and in the u.s going to slat lake city.Bert has a prostate problem but gets it solf by a new native american who helps bert on the road.
the abyss bert had to go through was the journey going to america whichhe has never been to so he is very uncomfortable like he is in new zealand.bert monroe misses his family and freinds back home but he leaves to accomplish his dream which was to become thwe fastest indian motorcyclist and which he accomplished.

This paper is about Phillip Enright. He is a baoy who lives in Curaco with his mom and dad. His dad works in a refinary and his mom satys at home. He has a friend named Erik Van Bovan who he plays with all the time. I dont think Phillip completed a heros journey.


The separation is when Phillip and his mom are going to Florida and his dad is staying to work. Phillip and his mom leave Curaco on a boat and when they are getting pretty far out in the ocean their boat gets torpeadoed. When that happens Phillip and his mom get separated and nPhillip hits his head on a floating piece of wood then Tomothy a old black man pulls him on to a raft with Stew cat a cat. Then they are on the raft for a couple of days when phillip wakes up one morning and finds out he cant see.


When Phillip,Timothy,and Stew cat get on the island timothy goes right to work to make a shellter and phiilip just sits down because he cant see.Then Phillip starts to teack Phillip how to do things around the island beacause Timothy knows he wont be around for ever.Then the storm comes and Timothy protects Phillip from it the storm.Then when the storm passes Timothy gets sick and dies.So Phillip has to do everthing on his own.


After the storm passes Phillip has to rebuild everthing so he starts to make a fire and rebuild a hut.Then one dya he is sitting there he hears a plane so he starts the fire and the plane see him then awhile goes by and he doesnt think that the plane seen him then he hears men coming and they found Phillip and asked him if nthere is any one else on the island and he says no.Then they take him home.


In my paper i talked about Phillip,Timothy,Stew cat,Mom,and Dad.Then about all the stuff that happened to them.I dont think Phillip completed a heros journey beacuse he didnt save anybody.

during the winter vacation I had allot of fun. When my mom asked me if i wanted to go to six flags i wasn't sure if I want to go. when we were close to six flags we went to my relatives House to stay there over night. the next day we were getting ready to go to six flags but my brother was taking to long in the bathroom getting ready. when we got there we got our tickets and had allot of fun except the water rides was closed because it was winter. We still had allot of fun anyway. after six flags we went back home after two days my cousin invited us to a Christmas party. While in the party my relatives decided to hand out the presents. I had one bad present and it was a book. It was almost new years and my cousin went to my house to sleep over during 2 o'clock p.m. my other cousin Carlo came over and said if we wanted to have a sling shot fight. we decided to have the sling shot fight in the back yard. We took our place where we want to start in I started in the roof. my cousin could See me because he was in the front yard facing me, so I ran across the the roof and blindly shot at his forehead and left a big red dot we started laughing. After two days i went to there house to have the new years party i had allot to eat there, but i was still hungry so i ate some more. after the party we went to the movies the movie we saw was boring so it was a waste of time. after the movie i went back home and sleep.

My paper is about the hero's journey of chuck Noland. it is about chuck Noland and his indescribable journey after his plane crash. I am pretty sure he finished his journey because of his return to America and the creation which concludes a journey.

chucks separation: his calling in my eyes is when he got a phone call to do major work in Europe. He doesn't want to leave because his wife loves him and wants him to stay. his descent is when he leaves on the plane to cross the ocean. i think that was all it because that's what happen through the beginning of the story.

chucks initiation: the abyss is when chuck Noland got on the raft after his plane suffered a terrible crash over the Atlantic. the mentor in my eyes is Wilson because he's the only one that was with him and guided him through it. the transformation is when he learns how to do things on his own. i feel that is what happened with chuck and that's how it went down.

return: his return is when he got picked up by the boat. the creation is what he created in his head as a self reliant person now in society. chuck spent a nice chunk of his life on that island his wife is with a new man because they thought he was dead. i feel this is what happend with chuck he is pretty cool customer now and that's it.

in this paper i talked about chuck Noland and his journey as a reliable worker for FedEx and how that got him stranded on an island. not only did he complete it it was very exciting in the process. this is my opinion of what happend in castaway with chuck Noland

Derek Butler

I am choosing to write about Chuck Noland. The reason i am choosing to write about Chuck is because he was all alone on the island. Yes i think that he completed the heroes journey.


Chucks Separation: His calling is when he gets the phone call from his work to go work in Europe. The threshold he doesn't want to leave because he will miss his wife. The descent is when he gets on the plane and leaves. I think that was all it because it that's what happened through the beginning of the story/movie.

Chucks Initiation: The abyss is when the plane crashed, and he fell into the ocean with the raft. The mentor in the story is Wilson because that is his best friend and he helps him get through everything. The transformation is when he learns to be independent and rely on himself. Those are the things that were going on in the movie at the time he got there.

Chucks Return: Chuck gets created into a more responsible, and more self-reliant guy. The thing is that when he gets home his whole life is different then when he left, because his wife has a new husband and two kids. In the end, though his wife comes back to him he still doesn't get his same life back.

I explained who Chuck Noland was and how he survived with the hero's journey. Chuck did finish the hero's journey with all the stuff he went through. This was a really good movie to me and it was amazing to me that he survived on a deserted island alone.

nick masten

In my essay im going to write about chuck noland. This papre is about my heros journey in Mr alten burgs class. chuck noland has completed a heros journey by gettin through an island by himself for 4 years.

chuck noland separated from his wife and family at thanksgiving to go on a buisness trip fo what he works for. he works for fed ex in the united states and he goes around the world. Chuyck nolands calling was when his job called and said that he is going to have to leave his family the night of thanks giving. When he decides to go is when him and his wife are in theree car and he is almost ready to take off. When he begins he is in the plane talking to a pilot of the plane he is taking off in.

In this movie his mentor is his wife. The reson his wife is his mentor is because he wouldn have survived if it wasnt for her being in his mind. When he enters the unknown is when he is on the raft and he is floating in the way of the waves. On the island his mentor is a volleyball that he had his blood on it and he formed it into a face. When his transformation begins is when he had started to catch fish and get to know a little more about the island that he is on.

When chuck finaly returns home is when he makes a raft and he makes it more than half way home and he is dicovered by a boat. The creatinon is when he returns home and he catches some fish. And when he teaches some of his friend top catch fish the way he had to on the island.

In my paper i have discussed about the movie cast away. In this paper i have talked about chuck noland. This character chuck noland has completed a heros journey.

Gabriela Perez

My paper is about the hero's journey, Mr Altenburg read us a book called the Cay and we saw a movie called Cast Away. The person that i choose to write about was phillip Enright from the cay because i think i was the one who completed the Hero's journey. Phillip had moments that were sometime exiting and othr times really sad. In the begining of the book was the seperation when Phillip and his mother decide to leave the island were they live and to leave their father because of the war. And another part was when the are on the ship leaving the island a torpedo from the soldiers on the island mistake the ship they shoot and Phillip and his mom get seperated. This is when phillip meets timothy, Timothy safes Phillip after he gets hit with a piece from the ship that has been torpedoed. Timothy and Phillip have been a lot of days on a little ship in a huge carribean sea with Stew Cat. The calling was about how he was pushed to leave the island and his father, next is the Thereshold this part was about the conversation that the family had trouble with Phillip didn't want to leave his father or the island and his best friend Henrik Bandoven. In the part of the Descent they were on the SS HOTO on an uknown island. After that is the Abyss the Abyss takes place in a raft with Timothy and Stew Cat on an unknown Island next is the Mentor the Mentor in the story is Timothy since he is much older and wiser than Phillip plus Phillip went blind so Timothy helps him even more by bulding stuff to make his live on the Cay easier. the transformaton really transformed Phillip because t imothy slaps him because phiilip get upset of his blidness. The return was when people found phillip and he returns home.

Claudia Nava

This paper is about The Cay Hero's journey. The hero's Journey is about Phillip enright. i think that Phillip did complete a Hero's journey. Phillip's separation starts when Phillip and his mom leave the island. The separation is when the ship is torpedoed and phillip and his mom are separated. The calling is when Phillip is forced to leave the island. The threshold is when the discussion occurs between phillip, his mom, and his dad. The descent is when Phillip and his mom get on the S.S. Hato. the abyss is when Pillip and Timothy are on the Caribbean Sea. The abyss is also when they end up on an unknown island in the Caribbean. Timothy becomes Phillip's mentor. Timothy teaches phillip how to fish by himself, he encourages Phillip to climb a tree, and he protects Phillip during the storm. The transformation begins when Timothy slaps Phillip, Phillip feels a change inside of himself. Phillip helps Timothy with his sickness. Phillip learns how to fish and he climbs a coconut tree. Then Phillip is alone. My opinion is that Phillip changes alot, thanks to Timothy. The characters return happens when Phillip is rescued. Phillip goes back to America with his mom, there, he gets surgery and he can see again. Then Phillip's mom changes her mind and they go back to the island with Phillips dad. Phillip uses what Timothy taught him to survive and to get rescued. Phillip changes alot with this experience. This experience also changes Phillip's mom and the way she thinks about colored people. My opinion is that this was a very good experience for Phillip. In my paper I talked about Phillip Enright's Hero's Journey. I think that Phillip did complete the Hero's Journey because of all the things he goes through. My opinion is that the journey that phillip went through was for the best.

This paper is about Phillip Enright on a heroes journey. I think Phillip had completed the heroes journey by having a mentor and surviving on his own for a while. He was a blind boy and didn't give up even after his mentor passed away.

Phillip had no choice but to leave curacao. His mother made him. His parents had discussed it with him about leaving, that's the threshold. Phillip and his mom leave Curacao by getting on the S.S. Hato. This is where his journey begins.

Phillip and Timothy get stuck on a raft for three days in the carribean sea. The S.S. Hato got torpedoed by a German U-boat. Timothy became his mentor by teaching him new things. Phillip changed by getting slapped. I think that was a good lesson for him though.

Phillip got saved by a boat. the smoke signal was seen by a plane and they told a boat to got to the cay. Timothy became less predjudice. He learned how to survive on an island on his own, blind. I think Timothy changed Phillip into a better person. Phillip is more mature.

I explained about Phillip and how he went through the heroes journey. Phillip completed the journey by completing all the stages. He went through a lot.

Hero's Journey Essay

My paper is about Phillip in the story the Cay. It is about Phillip he is the main character in the story. He completed a Hero's Journey because he kept himself alive and Timothy alive as well.
The separation in the story was by Phillip getting separated from his family and Timothy saving him. Phillips calling is him learning how to build a shelter and learning how to fish. Timothy's threshold was when his eye started to hurt and then the next day he went blind. The island had a descent on it.
The initiation in the story was when Phillip made a voodoo doll. the abyss was in the water. Phillip was a mentor to timothy by teaching him how to fish. Timothy's transformation was by him not liking African Americans and from that experience he learned that there is nothing different about them.
Phillips return was by him turning into an independent person. he learned how to do things that he wouldn't be able to learn on his own or in the city. Phillip completed a Hero's Journey by him staying alive for as long as he could and also taking care of Phillip when he went blind. he also finished a hero's journey by feeding himself and Phillip.
