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.…

Just as Enrique arrives, there is tension between his mother and him. They begin to argue about how Enrique had developed bad habits such as drinking and staying out late as well as sniffing glue. These problems do not surprise me because he had been through alot on his intense journey all the way from Honduras. It hurt Lourdes to see her son do nothing but hurt himself and her family because the money he was spending on alcohol should have been sent back home to help pay for school. Enrique also put his mother down by constantly making her feel guilty for leaving and that she did not deserve to call herself his mother. Looking back at the relationship between them before she left, I thought that their relationship would have been stronger than ever after not seeing each other for years and that he would appreciate the fact that he found her unlike many of the other immigrants that search for years and are still unable to find their family members.…
In migrants, the physical journey is a catalyst for an emotional and inner journey as well. The journey is about barriers and when we push past these barriers new ones are presented. At first the journey is travelling a long distance…
As I have grown between two countries, I had two aspects of thinking, and at times, the decision-making process is difficult. However, as I grew up and we eventually settled in Dubai, a global city, meeting remarkably different people every day, we eliminate our prejudice, and due to its fast growing, it affected us, as we managed to think fast and make decisions faster, not fully yet it shaped us in a particular way. As an Iraqi who lives in Dubai, I’m familiar with what biodiversity of a city could be, living in such an environment provide the possibility to know the various types of individuals and cultures, as it also shapes you to be a miscellany, who has all in one, who cannot be narrow minded by a tradition or a misunderstanding for…

Migration to escape oppression and socioeconomic problems has been a recurrent theme throughout history. Currently, millions are trying to leave Syria and North Africa because of the total war zones these areas have become. This is similar to what some Americans living in the 1930s experienced as a result of the Dust Bowl. During the Dust Bowl, the dirt from the overplowed farms would create large, overpowering clouds of black dust. About one third of the entire population of those affected by the Dust Bowl migrated to flee the horrors they were encountering (“The Drought”). Unfortunately for both of these groups migration did not necessarily solve all of their problems. The Syrians are facing major economic and hygienic struggles while…
Imagine, a family, tired and broke, running through utter darkness with nothing but the cloths on their backs. This family will wander for days before they reach safety. From one place to another, a person does not forget where they came from. An example of this occurs in both the essay “Letter to a Young Refugee to Another” and the short story “The Teacher who Changed my Life”.…
The border between Turkey and Syria stretches 877 km, and is for both countries the longest land border they share with a neighbor [2]. This is significant as the Turkish Government can expect to take in comparatively larger numbers of refugees with relation to Syria’s other border states. In the past…
Nowadays migration is getting to be one of the dominant characteristics of the modern world since at the present moment that movement of people and migration of citizens from one country to another become a norm. Not surprisingly that such unparallel and extremely high level of migration results in substantial demographic, ethnical and socio-cultural changes in many countries of the world.…
In reality, I long had aspired to travel the world for a year, inspired by a documentary I saw in high school about trans-Siberian trains. Staring at the screen, watching birch trees and snow and a railroad track running for thousands of kilometres, I resolved to take the journey from St Petersburg to Mongolia’s Ulaanbaatar myself. Almost a decade later, those trains were a huge part of why I gave notice at my law firm to do a round-the-world trip, but over the years, my fantasy trip to Siberia had morphed into a trip to... everywhere. I wanted to see as much of the world as I could in a year. I expected to return to practicing law thereafter, hopefully working in the public sector instead of a private firm.…
The 21st century began in many regions with the rising spatial mobility of both individuals and goods, and with opening borders. The rising spatial mobility of individuals is connected to the diversity of motivations such as leisure, shopping, work and business, and social networks. This new societal mobility is empowered by rising cross-border information flows, ICT use and the expanding meaning of virtual and mental travel (Sheller and Urry, 2006).…
