A Hero's Journey Research Paper
Stray Day 1

I was excited to begin the journey because it would be full of adventures. I made sure I packed everything I needed and said good bye to my parents. Then I headed down to Rabbit Flats.
It was really a long way to my first destination. I walked and walked and walked. When I reached Willow Marsh, I rested a little beside a tree. Then again I traveled. A little before dawn, when my legs were starting to ache, I arrived at Rabbit Flats.
I was really hungry, so I searched for rabbit holes, and finally I found a small den which kind of looked like a rabbit would live inside. I decided to set fire in the hole and smoke it out. I pulled out my fire kit and put the drill in the hole of the hearth board. Using the bow I brought, I rubbed the bearing block and the drill against each other. The smoke came whirling around, and soon my beautiful flames started to burn. I blew at the flames, not too hard and not too weak. And there it was, a perfect fire to drive the rabbits out. I set the fire at the den and soon a light-brown-furred rabbit came storming out of its house. Quickly, I picked up my bow and arrow and aimed

My arrow flew fast and speedy, and it hit directly at the animal. My first hunting was a success! Happily, using my fire, I cooked the rabbit and ate

My father was arrested and my mother left two month pregnant with an unborn child. The connection was lost and life continued. That unborn child was me. I can imagine what she was to do or how she felt. God definitely had hands on me Jeremiah 29:11.…

    The journey across the field was not easy. The crows frightened me the most because I have heard many tales at potlucks about crows eating little leprechauns like me. I finally made it, and standing in front of me was a rather large contraption. I always assumed it was a hill, but now I knew it wasn’t. It was square, made of wood, and had steps leading to a red door. I realized without a doubt that it was a human house. I found a crevice that I could squeeze into. Us leprechauns are good at that sort of thing. The crevice led into a slightly larger opening perfect for a leprechaun. I slept for a long time, tired from my long journey across the field. When I finally woke up I was hungry and decided to explore. At the end of the passageway was a huge room. There was rows of shelves filled with shoes. I realized I hit the gold pot, this was a shoemaker’s house. I loved making shoes! I forgot my hunger and set to work finishing a pair of shoes on the floor. During the days I watched the family and customers in the…

    Rabbits were first introduced in Australia in the 18th century. At first, they were brought in by the first fleet in 1778 by the settlers and were first bred as food animals in Australia by the European settlers. The domestic rabbit was used as food by the settlers because it was an easily available food rich in protein. The wild rabbits were introduced by Thomas Austin for the purpose of hunting. Thomas Austin was the first person to release 24 rabbits on his farm so as to dedicate his weekend for hunting unknowingly that it will create the problem of rabbit infestation in Australia.
