Archetype Of Initiation: A Hero's Journey

Peter showed bravery when he fought Mister Grin,the alligator and trying to save the star-stuff from getting in the wrong hands. He fought Mister Grin because Peter was trying to protect his friends and he is their leader. Peter has to show them he could be brave. Peter kept the Star stuff safe because he was doing it for Molly and the starcatchers. He did that by tricking mister Slank and it was brave because he had a sword and a pistol the could have killed Peter. After Slank opens the trunk and realizes he has been trick

Peter is always violent he has a good heart but he never shows it. At the beginning of the book Peter had told Ender that they were playing a game called Astronauts and Boogers. When Peter the Astronaut had caught Under the Bugger then he had put his knee on his neck. While he was on top of Ender he told him that he could kill him and say it was an accident. But Valentine told him he would tell everyone it wasn’t an accident. Peter told her that he would kill her to and say it was an accident and they had kept arguing. Then after that night Peter had gotten out of bed and

The reason he is so mad at Ender now, is because his parents made Peter a second choice. He felt betrayed by his parents and worthless just because he didn’t make it as far in the program. Peter is mad at himself and valentine for not making farther in the program. On page 10 Peter says “Like us? He keeps the little sucker till he’s six years old.

Furthermore, verbal manipulation is one of Peter’s greatest talents, as shown when he uses it many times in the story to obtain more power. One way Peter manipulates others is by using their weaknesses against them. For example, when Peter threatens to kill Ender, Valentine reveals that she has a secret letter that would be opened in the event of her death saying, “Peter killed me, and if he hasn’t already killed Andrew, he will soon.”(10) Peter has taken advantage of Valentine’s weakness for Ender to gain more information about some of Valentine’s tricks, which could ruin his chances of gaining power. Peter also gains more power through this manipulation because it causes Valentine and Ender to be afraid of him, therefore giving him more control over their actions. As Valentine states

Throughout the novel, Peter expresses himself as vile, cruel, and antagonistic; but, Peter has only shown this behavior because of his need to constantly feel in control. In the early chapters, Peter threatens and terrorizes his younger siblings. Peter explains that he was empowered by these actions because of his need for control. Peter’s disclosure of his talent shows why Ender fears becoming like Peter. Peter quickly identifies a person’s weaknesses and frailty and uses it to his advantage. Ender has used similar tactics in the past, but Ender used it as an act of self-defense. Although Peter proved himself as belligerent in the past, he has a fond and affection

First of all Peter is being cruel to Ender. He has been hated Ender all his life and always fights him, trying to hit him and hurt him a lot. Peter always forced Ender to fight him. One day again Peter manipulated Ender to fight him. While fighting he sit on Ender’s chest and hold his neck and said, “I could kill you like this.” (12). This represents that Peter hates Ender. He always done something to hurt Ender and give him a hard time. He do not love his brother and whenever Ender is in hard time, Peter enjoys it, that’s why he always hurts him. Secondly Peter is jealous with his brother. He always hits his brother just because he is smarter than him, and he is being jealous of why his younger brother is smarter than him. Peter wants to be in government in future some day. If has have a smarter brother than him, he might lose the chance of being in government, that’s why he is trying to isolate Ender, so that he will stay isolated and will not have chance to be in government. That way Peter can make the government. This shows that Peter is being jealous to Ender. Therefore Peter represents a negative and bad character being brutal and jealous to

The archetype of the Hero’s Journey holds a prevalent pattern in the works of “Initiation” by Sylvia Plath, “A & P” by John Updike, and “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. These works all follow the 17 stages of Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth which are separated in three stages; separation, initiation, and return. The main characters have different characterizations; however, they all follow the basic structure of the Hero’s journey archetype. There are many similarities and differences between the stages that are shown through many context clues and literary devices in each work. The Hero’s Journey archetype expressed in these literary works follow a similar and direct narrative pattern.

Peter is my favorite character in The Chronicles of Narnia. Peter is the oldest of the four children, and stands taller than all of them. Being both strong and athletic, he is an able warrior. Peter is an optimist. “This is going to be perfectly splendid” (4) says Peter when the other kids are upset about their new home. Throughout the book, Peter appears as noble and honest. When Edmund betrays the other children, Peter takes the blame, saying “That was partly my fault, I was angry with him and I think that helped to go wrong” (128). Peter feels responsible for his siblings and will do anything to protect them; even if it means charging into battles. When a wolf attacks Susan, Peter is quick to act. “He rushed straight up to the monster

The hero’s journey can be found in ancient stories from thousands of years ago as well as present-day stories that may hit the big screen. The hero experiences a chain of events that gives he or she, typically a male, a title of “the hero”. The hero's journey begins with either an inner longing to go on a quest, or an exterior call that requires the hero’s help outside of the ordinary world. Heroes may, at first, refuse the call, or may respond to the call immediately. However, there is usually some resistance to the call because of the potential danger he or she could face from the unknown world. In most cases, a guide or a supernatural aid will direct the hero on the journey. In the hero's journey, one may encounter a threshold

This lead to a total DNA change that turned him into a huge psychotic lizard. Peter Parker who had been bit by a radio active spider was now on a search to rediscover who he really is and only at the age of sixteen. If Stan Lee's classic comic was meant to teach us anything it was meant to teach us that we have a choice. Peter Parker a low income orphan, who was bullied and weak used his powers to become a hero. Osborne decided other wise. Using not Spiderman, but Peter Parker as my last explain I would like to show you that what makes a monster is more than the struggle for power as I earlier stated. It is the choice we make with that power whether it is given to us or taken.

He knows how to take care of himself, instead of relying on his parents. Moreover Peter

Peter is a bumbling blue collar worker who is always engaging in a variety of wacky situations. He is only moderately intelligent. The show often focuses on an issue that Peter has in some regard.

A large part of any story, especially one with the quest archetype, is love. Since the first time he sees Mary-Jane at the age of six, Peter Parker (Spider-Man) has loved her. At this time, Peter even asked his aunt: “Aunt May, Aunt May, is that an angel?” This truly displays how much Spider-Man adores Mary-Jane. In fact, Peter will do anything to help her. For example, near the beginning of the film, Peter saves Mary-Jane from slipping in the cafeteria. Because of his powerful love of Mary-Jane, Peter also faces consequences, though. His enemies, such as the Goblin Goblin, can manipulate him using Mary-Jane as a bribe, or ransom.

When asked what makes the character of Spider-Man so popular, most people would probably say that it is due to his relatability. Peter Parker is just a kid, like all of us are or were, and that instantly makes him accessible to a wide audience. However, I never thought about that when I was a child. I grew up on the Sam Raimi films, which I still hold near and dear to my heart. I suppose I wasn’t smart enough at the time to realize the massive appeal of the Spider-Man character. For me, Spider-Man was just cool because of his colorful costume and his amazing powers. I was just a kid who loved awesome superheroes, and Spidey checked that box. Having graduated high school and preparing for college, I am now more aware of subtleties and nuances in film, while still retaining that childlike excitement for massive blockbusters. I have been anticipating the latest Spidey film for a very long time, and upon viewing the film twice, I’ve realized a glorious truth. For the first time in my life, at the age of 18, I finally related to the character on a deeper level than I ever thought possible, and that is what makes this film shine.
