Summary Of Hero's Journey By Michael Jordan

Relations is how people connect. When individuals come together to share and relate they form a community, and thus a communion. It is not the type of community that matters, but what the people are able to have in common connecting them to a bigger picture. The Irish share a kind of culture as they come together to tell folklore. This kind of ritual portrays a very good example of the building of a community. There is a sense of longing to be accepted that every individual experiences. A striving to be involved in a companionship or community. This drive of nature is often called an ego. It effects our self esteem, self importance, and confidence. In a craze to be part of a community it can lead people to do odd things. Eamon Jordan
. .that Valerie’s tale (and The Weir itself) might be a deliberate hoax—a cynical “confidence trick” perpetrated on Valerie’s on-stage and theatrical audiences. As Jordan pointed out, Valerie’s story does show signs of having been woven, à la Verbal Kint, out of details picked up from the men’s stories;” ( Harris).
Therefor Eamon Jordan was implying that Valerie may have spun a yarn as she told her story. I would say maybe not a complete set of lies, but she certainly could have embellished her story from the details which were told. In a logical reason, Valerie would do this to better associate with the men. After all it is human nature to want to have something in common with another. The drive of our ego makes us need acceptance into a community. How Valerie's story tied into the men's stories was slightly noticeable. At first read of the story in a strange confused state, the reader could slightly pick up on that subtle detail of in-twinement of the tails. Valerie's story tied in with Jack's tale about old Nara Nealson's house down by the pebbly beach. The house had a strange supernatural knocking. When they would open the door, no one would be
These issues are very real. It can cause people to do very hurtful things to others, or to themselves. Such as spinning a yarn to be popular and accepted, or taking their own life in suicide. The Play had a real sense for loneliness in its theme. Valerie's daughter in her death had tragically left her mother. It was easy to understand Valerie's loneliness and struggle to regain her sense of self. Because, someone who was so much apart of her life and identity was suddenly taken away. One of the most chilling parts of the play was when Naimh called her mother after her death. Naimh begged her mother to come collect her as she described all of her night terrors now seeming closer than ever. This was when Valerie gained much of her anxiety, now she believed her daughter was out there somewhere, alone. Valerie knew there was nothing she could do to help her daughter. The theme of loneliness and struggle was touched upon in each one of the stories told that night in the bar. Nara's Mother who lived on fairy lane experienced the scariness of being alone. For it was when all the kids had gone out to a dance, except little Nara who stayed with her mother, that the knocking began again. Birdie wouldn't send Nara up to bed because she didn't want to be alone. In Finbars story he told about the “head bangers” he admitted, he felt very alone when he went home. In fact, he felt so alone and scared he couldn't even face the staircase to go
