This semester I learned a lot about a hero's journey. It taught me that in every story there is atleast something similar to it. here are some stories I learned the hero's journey about.
The Odyssey was about a man named Odysseus. He travelled in like 16 different places just to get back home to Ithaca. he tried so hard to get back home to his faithful wife and son, it took him 20 years. His mentor was Athena. She helped helped him through it. He went through so many unknown places. He returns home as a hero and gets his kingdom back.
In the movie "Troy" Ichilles went to Troy with the spartans to fight the Trojans. He fought for his country. His mom was his mentor. His transformation was saving a Trojan woman and falling in love. He didn`t get to return home.
In the movie "Whale Rider" Paikea wants to become a leader for her clan. She was about to leave with her father, but something told her not to. Her grandfat her was her mentor, but she proved him wrong by showimg him women can be leaders too. She was created into a hero and the nerw leader.
The hero's journey shows there's always a seperation, initiation and a return. In all the stories they did what they had to do. They became great leaders i nthe end.
