Inman's Journey
Constantly bombarded with life and death situation Inman resorts to more aggressive measures, justifying his decision to protect innocents. Instincts for survival do not fade easily; his experiences of war have hardened him, leaving his morality wavering. Through Inman's journey, his beliefs are called into question when faced with physical danger and internal suffering. Inman's mind is fractured, idealizing a perfect world and a perfect home. He will come home, but it will not be the perfect place that has led him through his path. His struggles reach their height when Inman is betrayed; marched until he was near death, then shot and left for dead. Then thrown into a mass grave with a layer of dirt covering him. He lies there for most the

    Whether it is disease, infection, shrapnel, or a snakebite, surviving was the first priority. The character’s language was used sometimes to ease the pain of a friend’s death. The men would use terms like greased, lit up, offed, or zapped as a coping mechanism to describe a fellow soldier’s death. I felt the story was well written and seems like fact rather than fiction. After detailing all the items carried, the uncertainty of missions and the war itself, I found this statement to be the best “there was at least the single abiding certainty that they would never be at a loss for things to…

    On the surface, Cold Mountain is the tale of a man trying to find his way home. However, once looked at in more detail, it is seen as a story of a man looking for faith. From the very first step, Inman’s journey is one of faith, a faith that he has lost in the Civil War and is on the road to recovering. We know little of Inman's life prior to his journey, but what we do learn tells us that he was at one point a Christian. In his youth he had been taught, and he believed in, the basics of the Christian faith. Specifically, he believed in heaven, the immortality of soul, and that we are all children of God. Cold Mountain is the story of a man who has undergone a traumatic experience, the likes of which has stolen away from him all optimism and hope for a better tomorrow.…

    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).…
