The Hero With A 1000 Faces

                                                       THE HERO WITH A 1000 FACES

This story was a myth about a hero with a thousand faces , his name was Medusa he was a hero who ventured forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.He started his day in the ordinary world, and receives a call to enter an unusual world of strange powers and events which was a call to adventure.He accepted the call and was sent to a strange world, he faced many task and trails , some he had to face alone and some he may have assistance. At its most intense, he had to survive a severe challenge, often with help earned along his journey. If he survived, the hero may achieve a great gift which often results in the discovery of important self-knowledge. The hero must then decide whether to return with this boon often facing challenges on the return journey. If the hero is successful in returning, the boon or gift may be used to improve the world.What parts are interesting or confusing? the parts that were interesting and confusing to me were the fact that he accepted the challenge and face all those challenges. Could any of his ideas apply to more modern stories, or stories he does not bring up as examples? I think that a lot of his ideas could apply to more modern stories especially in real life a example could be that somebody got a phone call to go save the world or go save somebody's life. Why might it be necessary that we need to see a hero go through this 3 step process rather than start off perfect and able to accomplish goals ? I think they should start off with the 3 step process because a lot of people could learn a lot as they progress and get better heading forward , because many people think that since they know everything they don't want to hear what other people have to say or they just don't want to listen and learn things a different way. Overall it was a good book it had a lot of gods in the story.
