A Hero's Journey Essay
Travelers

Saint Christopher, please let me find my way.
The Sun has set and left me in the dark.
I’ve wandered off; I’ve gone too far astray
And now regret will flood my sinking ark.
The weight of God has burdened me too long
I need a guide to carry me ashore.
I stand here, waiting for your saving song
In hope of facing torture’s tide no more.
Your beacon sets my once enslaved soul free.
My sins slide off my shoulders to the sand.
Now finally I turn to face the sea
With steady feet at last upon the land.
How strange, however, now I seem to crave
The lull of breeze upon a dancing wave.

While these heroes might seem to have little in common when it comes to origin, “The Hero’s Journey” by Joseph Campbell demonstrates that all heroes have “similar patterns” (Campbell). However by examining the non-western hero, Mulan, in “The Ballad of Mulan” demonstrates how this figure is different than the hero outlined in Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero’s Journey” in the following ways, Mulan does not have any kind of “supernatural aid”, “tests that lead to the final showdown”, or a “life-changing experience for her or many others” (Campbell).…

    A Hero's Journey Analysis

    The departure stage is the first stage that starts the hero’s journey. The call to Adventure is the first part of the hero’s journey. (Campbell 41). The call to adventure is as it sounds the point where something happens that causes the hero to begin his or her quest, it’s the most pivotal moment that the hero has at the start of the journey. Wright has his call to adventure when he enrolls in the University of Wisconsin in the engineering program that they had. Wright ended up dropping out after a few semesters and at the time that he does, he moves to Chicago (Huxtable 41-42). He decided to make the move when he decided that the small town of Madison had nothing left to offer him. Upon making it to Chicago Wright wasted no time in finding a place to work. “He tried many places and kept getting rejected. Wright’s last stop was the firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee” (Huxtable 46). Silsbee takes the place of mentor for Wright, it’s with him that Wright learns more on his talent and begins his career and legend. Wright leaves Silsbee and gets hired immediately by Adler and Sullivan as an assistant for Sullivan at this time Sullivan becomes the mentor teaching Wright more. Wright going through these parts of the hero’s quest puts him in the hero category. Even with the fact that it’s known he lied to lie his way into getting what he wanted.…

Every time I picture you headed to that old rugged cross, that picture in itself tells me to hold on just a little while longer because you will be there. Hold on, no matter what comes my way because you are there. Even though I know that I feel alone…
