Hero’s Stage 5-8

This is the stage the hero must cross his own skeptical thoughts and start to accept the journey. He isn’t a full go. Then there is a blockade in front that needs to be crossed. Physical mental, or morality types of challenges are what set them back. Then the leap of faith comes in to play where he/she dives first in and makes their move to the realm of adventure. This happens in Cirque Du Freak when Darren crosses the threshold of becoming a vampire and leaving his human life behind.

This is the stage the Hero must overcome lessons and complete tasks to contribute to the hero’s growth for the climax. This is the foil for the hero, and voice of conscious and to follow the hero. A powerful person will not welcome the hero, they will become a rival and only want the failure of the hero, they are an enemy. This happens in Toy Story 3 when he has allies and enemies. The enemy is the big bear who tries to get them not to leave the daycare.

This stage is the first threshold to begin the journey and the second threshold is the inmost cave. Darkest most dangerous realm. This has the ultimate goal and the main prize. This is the “castle where princess is hidden.” The main place the Hero needs to get. In the movie “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” Caesar went through the first threshold of the bridge and had a main fight at the end to get to his destination of the forest. This was when the main battle went down.

This stage is the one who changes the Hero forever. It transforms him and creates the rest of the decisions from that point forward. This is only halfway to the end so it isn’t the climax. The hero must face the main villain and almost lose. The hero will face fear and conquer it and let his ego go. In the movie “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” Caesar realizes he will go along with the other apes and throws his old pride away.

 

Hero’s Stage 9-12

This stage allows the audience to zoom out of the story, it is a time of celebration.  This is where there is a celebration and recap, the hero and his allies recap all events and their significance . This is where insight and romance comes in to play. This happens at the end of “Toy Story” where they all reflect on their story.

This stage is the part of the quest to come back. The hero has the cure in the ordinary wold and becomes back to normal, he saves the day. In Avatar, They return to the main camp with the avatars.

Hero’s Stage 1-4

Essay

I believe there should be absolutely no texting and driving. I would compose a law making it illegal to text and drive. It is way to risky to text and drive for people’s life. All the deaths/negatives, there are more negative than positive. The positives are you get a simple text out to your friend. The negatives are injury and possibly death.

With texting and driving you are completely distracted and with drinking and driving, not only are you distracted, but also you are completely impaired with every mental judgment. Drinking is worse because you are not in a correct state of mind, while texting can take all your focus away, so can drinking, but way worse and you most likely wont remember.

I would make a law banning texting and driving. While there is no real way to detect if someone is driving and texting, if they appear distracted and are pulled over they could be convicted with attempted murder because when you operate a vehicle distracted, you are putting not only yourself in dangers way, but others too. It would be a very serious offense because of the huge problem it has become over the years. Eventually people would realize the huge consequence and narrow it down. This would reduce texting and driving
