Comparing The Hero To The Rescue
The Hunter family stopped celebrating Christmas not long after they left Earth, nearly 600 years ago. So it comes as a surprise to Jon to be wished a Merry Christmas on what he otherwise thinks is just another day. As his grip on the day starts to unravel, he's confronted with a crew expecting him to know what is going on. After all, it is his ship, and they think he's the captain, so he must know everything. Jon wishes that were so. As his day lurches from one thing to another, it seems that only Santa knows the whole plan.

Join Jon, Jane, and the Alpha team for Christmas day in space.

This is a short story, covering one full day in space, set sometime around the end of Hire a Hero, and the beginning of Hero to the Rescue.

    The Hero's Journey: An Analysis

    Western and nonwestern heroes come from different regions of the world; therefore, have different cultural backgrounds. More specifically, western heroes come from the Greco-Roman or Judeo-Christian traditions. Nonwestern heroes come from other parts of the world that would not associate with these traditions. 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).…

    The Hero's Journey Analysis

    Every story needs a hero, right? For centuries authors and poets have included this essential character into their work. Without knowing literature has been seldom following the same archetype, The Hero’s Journey. Joseph Campbell discovered that most stories follow this pattern which is why he dubbed it the monomyth. Through years of studying he found that this popular motif is made up of ten basic steps that a hero follows through a story. Well known film writer and director George Lucas molded the film Star Wars around Campbell’s monomyth not only with intent but quite distinctively. Lucas is not the only one doing this in Hollywood either, many screenwriters and directors have caught on to this including Andrew Stanton as he depicted his version of the monomyth in Finding Nemo. This animated film follows the archetype laid out in Joseph Campbell’s, The Hero With a Thousand Faces.…

    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.…

    The Life You Save May Be Your Own: Antithesis to a Fairy Tale

    Nostalgic finales just seem too good to be real with the quaint happy endings that typically conclude fairy tales; not with Flannery O 'Connor 's writings, which depict sarcasm with disquieting twists and mordant characters. One of O 'Connor 's most successful works, "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" epitomizes her writing style that is characteristically seen by many as grotesque and sardonic. This short story represents the antithesis of a fairy tale, ingeniously warping its vital elements—damsel in distress (Lucynell, the daughter), the mother (Mrs. Lucynell Crates), and knight in shining armor (Mr. Shiftlet)—to make its readers see the latent malevolence of all human beings. Utilizing a keen consideration on each fictional component in the story, O 'Connor conveys her message effectively by contrasting hideousness against pulchritude. She makes effectual use of liars to demonstrate the truth. O 'Connor 's deep perspective is evident in the way she inflicts ruthless challenges to the characters in the story.…
