The Return Of A Hero: Character Analysis
The Return of a Hero; Battles of The Past (Vol. 2)
The darkness of the night falls across the narrow hallway, the one that she has walked down for months, the one she once called home. A small duffel bag across her shoulder weighs down her spirits as she opens the rusted door for the last time and takes off into the sunset.
Six months later, The City of Manhattan Running is the most thrilling activity that exists throughout the universe. It sends electricity through your veins, the wind in your hair and the spirit through your soul. Every time you doubt yourself, your speed greatly diminishes. This so called ‘heroine’ had failed all of her friends, she knew the horrors she caused upon her old agency. Her father murdered a man which created

Miss Arrow or ‘Arrow’, is the most reliable friend Chloe could have ever imagined encountering, but when she left her old life behind, Miss Arrow was abandoned as well. Overwhelmed with guilt, shame and shock, Chloe tries to speak but no words arise.
“I know the time will come when you realize you will help, but until then I’ll leave you. I know you can find it in yourself to face your fears and to ultimately save the world.” Miss Arrow whispers quietly, with a powerful tone of emotion.
She leaves Chloe alone who is lost in her own thoughts, like a feather in a windstorm. The memories of her childhood keep flowing through her mind, all of the hopeless screaming and deafening bombs heard from the midst of the rising fear throughout her mind. It is a hero’s duty to protect the world at all costs, but this price seems far too high to pay for the heroine. Chloe rocks back and forth, debating whether the risk is worth taking. It’s been so long since she’s been emotionally ready to arrive back at the agency and she still didn’t know if she was ready, but without her, the world could end up in darkness. No matter what may come of this, Chloe knows in her heart that no matter how terrifying it is to face, she is going to step in to save the world from this Pseghettian

Suddenly, the grand doors of the ship close with a mighty commotion, securing the heroes and the invaders in the vessel. Out of the corner of her eye, Eclipse spots an escape pod, enough to fit all but one of the team that came to help. A sudden change of plans forces Eclipse to finish her battle and one by one, board everyone on. If she could fly the craft to space with the doors locked and no escape, her team would be safe to flee and the Psgettians would be trapped in the outer universe. As she tries to direct Miss Arrow into the pod, she shakes her

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    Throughout the novella I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, Robert Neville, the last human who is immune to this disease, is an anti-hero. For instance, towards the end of the story, during his state of confusion after he woke up, he felt pain that he had not ever felt before and thought that it must mean it was the end and said to himself ‘’I am going to die’’ (p.164). This statement shows that he accepts that his life will end here and he will not try to fight it in any way in order to continue surviving. In addition to this, after he realizes where he is and what happened, Ruth came to check on him and asks him why he did not leave beforehand like she told him to in the letter she left him. Robert explained to her ‘’I…couldn’t […] I almost…

    According to the article “A Practical Guide to Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces,” many stories fit into a basic structure that follows a particular pattern.

When Harry is first told he is a wizard he refuses to believe it. Then, he is taken to a magical school where his adventure begins and he starts to discover the world of wizardry (CITE). Already this story follows the basic outline of the hero’s journey. Later in this analysis the entire diagram of the hero’s journey will be revealed explaining more of how Harry Potter and many other stories follow this outline perfectly.…

    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.…

    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).…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…
