heroic journey, and this is true. The Hero's Journey states that all hero's encounter the same type or kind of challenges. I would never consider myself as a hero, but after reading about how Joseph Campbell described about how all hero journeys can be similar, I can relate that to my life as a soccer player. My heroic journey has changed me in many different ways, both appearance and emotional. When I look back, I can see all of the similarities on how my life reflects back on the hero’s journey
your day of good or evil. Due to this true statement, one idea of an extraordinary man shone through despite the rest, and that is Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. Known as a mythologist, he made connections between tales from around the world into something relatable becoming liberal by many. This man’s theory not only intimates my life by focusing on my time of life being wrongfully deceived, but also has each moment of that time in a different category such as “the call to adventure”, “the ordeal”
Campbell was a person who studied mythology for years. He, with the help of some of his colleagues, he was able to make the hero’s journey. It states that everyone who goes on this journey must follow many stages so they can get to their reward when their journey was successful. My life’s journey as a student is like Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey because I had an adventure out of my ordinary world, I have met middle school student mentors, and I have earned a new experience and started a new life.

“It is hard for me to talk about how I feel.”, she said in a hushed voice. “I do not know where to start.” “Why don't you start from the top, the very beginning, where it all started?” I said back. It was in a park by my house when she showed me her scars. My heart dropped. I can remember that part clearly, but what happened after that is not something I can recall. Over the summer we would hang out a decent amount of times. She was the same age as I am. She says things no one would think to say
My Life’s Journey As A Former Academy Soccer Player While learning about Greek mythology, we also learned about the Hero’s Journey, which was written by a scholar named Joseph Campbell. The Hero’s Journey is a pattern that almost every story follows. This pattern follows your life story too, of course were not slaying dragons or saving people falling out of buildings, but your life in some way is following the hero’s journey. My parents made the decision to have me leave the academy soccer program

An endless path sprinkled with many possibilities and different! It only was the beginning, the path that was manifested got much further as my years flew by.

The socio –political life of the people of Umuaro in “Arrow of God” “Arrow of god” (1964), is set partly in Umuofia and partly in Lagos, it traces the fate of Okonkwo’s grandson Obi, who is marked by similar circularity like his grandfather.
