William Blake: The Hero's Journey Of Life
Like most protagonists starting out on their journey, Blake starts off naive and optimistic, but who wouldn't be when it's an opportunity to explore the world you live in, meet all kinds of new people and Pokemon, and realize what your dream in life is?

Headstrong and brave, Blake never backs down from doing what's right, no matter the danger. When a few members of Team Plasma snatched away a little girl's Pokemon, it was Blake and Cheren that managed to track them down and get it back. When the same happened to Bianca in Castelia City, Blake was quick to help when he found out.

Through and through, Blake is immensely loyal to those he considers a friend. He'll stick by their side and support them whenever there's trouble. For both the friends he holds dear and his Pokemon team, he'll always be there to pick them up when they're feeling down, to celebrate alongside them when they're

He’s also quick to judge on appearances, yet also tries to think the best of people he meets, such as when he met N. This can be good or bad depending on who he meets and their true intentions, because one could very easily take advantage of his optimism. However, if someone does seem overly suspicious or unnerving to be around, Blake may hesitate. But even that won't stop him from being anything less than kind to everyone he meets. Even rivals can develop their relationship into something more.

Blake also doesn't see strength as just raw power or the ability to crush the weak under their heel. The bonds between trainer and Pokemon is the driving force for bringing out one's full potential. Therefore, inherent power and unwavering willpower goes hand in hand. It takes time to hit your limits and more to push past them. Blake would know, he made it to the Pokemon League after

    “The Lamb” perfectly portrays and symbolizes the innocence of childhood. Blake chose a lamb for the poem because they are associated with innocence and purity, just as a child who has not come into contact with the evil of the world is. Blake uses “The Tyger” to completely carry out the theme. A tiger is used to symbolize how people grow up, become aware of evil, and choose to let that evil overcome the innocence they once knew, the innocence of the lamb.The tiger is not loved by the speaker as the lamb is because the speaker is aware of the evil that the tiger is. Just as tigers dominate lambs in the animal kingdom, evil dominates innocence because innocence becomes lost after evil is…

    After years of study Joseph Campbell found that all heros travel the same path in their lives. Mr. Campbell named this famous theory the hero's journey. The hero’s journey states that the hero's must first endure several obstacles and if the hero passes all the obstacles he/she will be rewarded. This treacherous journey is repeated over and over again. This theory not only relates to us but it relates to everyone for instance myself. In fact my life’s journey as a football player and a grandson is much like the Joseph Campbell’s hero journey because I had left my ordinary world, met my mentor, and earned my reward.…

    Blake could have followed his older brother’s footsteps and created a much better life for himself. The narrator describes Blake as being a strong willed boy. As I read through “A Brother’s Murder,” I realize Blake just didn’t have the courage the narrator had to move to a completely different state and leave his old life behind. Understandably, Blake was intimidated by the rest of the world and realized he could prove his manhood and courage by staying in Chester and proving himself. Culturally, I realized the different attitudes people have to different…

    For Blake, innocence was not enough it was also ignorance of the reality of the ‘fallen' world. The apparent vulnerability was of the little black boy and his lack of experience. Innocence is an empty trait. As children grow and experience life their innocence is tainted by the world that surrounds them.. Still obtaining the innocence as a child the mother tries to instill love and equality in the boy” My mother taught me underneath a tree “. The racial differences are not only celebrated but also no existent under the divine light of God. According to Jeremy Waldron equality, is the proposition that humans are all one another's equals. In addition , it is a spiritual awakening for a little boy who is growing up to recognize he is unique and his status in society and his destiny when he finally meets God that he is on equal ground with to his white…

    The Character Blake has some distinct morality issues that projects the evil he has done. Blake the evil force in the story posses many character flaws that are indicative of the force he portrays. He is self-absorbed, manipulative and shallow and has isolated himself from his friends and family. Blake sacrifices his relationships to give into his sexual desires, which is our first indication of his evil streak. He sleeps with Mr. Dent, his secretary, and proceeds to fire her. As a result of Blake's many one night stands, in which he manipulates which to sleep with him, he loses his wife, son, and friends. He is so incredibly shallow and self-involved, that he married his wife for her beauty alone. He has no attraction to her in old age. He does not even pretend to love his wife "The physical charms that had been her only attraction were gone"(559). His neighbors and friends hear of the evil Blake has done to his own wife, and as a result they reject Blake as a friend. His self involved attitude prevents him from coming that he has no companions. When his neighbor, Mrs. Compton, cannot give him a friendly smile, we read that "the swift death of Mrs. Compton's smile did not affect him at all"(554). His evil self consumption prevents him from caring whether or not people accept him. We find yet another example of Blake's immoral actions through himself. He fails to confirm a crying Mrs. Dent "he felt too contended and warm and sleepy to worry about her tears"(553). Blake has no compassion for others; he only worries about his own affairs. This is indicative that Blake is morally wrong.…
