I'm a cautious person. Before this summer I had never stepped outside of my comfort zone. The longest I had been away from my family was for a week in the fifth grade when my entire class went to camp, and even then I was surrounded by familiar faces and friends. That is why when I was awarded the honor to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Girls' State camp, I was wary of experiencing such a big change. After being dropped off at the MSU dorms on the first day I was left with a HUGE feeling of angst and dread.

Heracles, also known as Hercules in Roman mythology, is one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology. He is renowned for his strength and courage, and his hero journey is a classic example of the hero's journey archetype. Stephan Fry's version of the myth provides a unique perspective on Heracles' journey, which can be divided into three parts: departure, initiation, and return. The departure stage of Heracles' journey is marked by his exile from Thebes, the city where he was born. As Fry explains, this was the result of a tragic mistake he made, killing his own wife and children in a fit of madness.
In the memoir of Escape From Camp 14, by Blaine Harden, a young North Korean boy named Shin Dong-hyuk struggles through the hardships that permanently scar him in a labor prison camp called Camp 14. In this novel, people are portrayed as indifferent on what is happening inside of North Korea. This is probably due to people not being aware and how serious the dictator of North Korea treats its people. Shin is one of the victims exposed to the evil clutches of the camps and the dictator. Because he was born inside the camp, he doesn’t know the outside world, experiencing a loss of innocence.
Theme 1: Family– In North Korean concentration camps and North Korea in general, there was no concept of “family”. Shin was born and raised in the concentration camp, and he did not have a loving or caring relationship with his mother, father, or brother. Shin even saw his mother as another competitor, and he rarely spoke or interacted with his brother. “When he was in the camp–depending on her [his mother] for all his meals, stealing her meals, enduring her beatings–he saw her as a competition for survival,” (16). Outside of the camps, North Koreans also turned in whoever spoke out or went against the leaders of the country, and their rule, even if it was their family members.

On March 18th 1959, on the outskirts of Tibet, my grandfather Lhagyal Kamsang traveled with his father, Baba Chodar and with a group of Tibetans to New Delhi, India after China’s occupation of Tibet. Lhagyal was walking with his father, Baba chodar and with a group of Tibetans who wanted a new life in India. They followed a trail that lead to the border of India, the trail was surrounded with thin towering trees that could touch the clouds and the pathway would often twist as if it was a slithering snake. A delicate white mist would always surround the group of travelers and the gust of wind would provide them a blanket of wind. The group was filled with hopeful people who wanted a change in their lives and were willing to push

At the end of the month, we reached the discharge center at Bad Aibling [Germany] in the American zone.
Would the statement, all heroes and heroines are originated from the same basis be true? Most likely, ones favorite hero novel would follow the hero’s journey which is the cycle of the hero’s adventure involving different archetypes. A hero novel does not necessarily have to involve supernatural powers and the hero does not necessarily have to save the world; a hero can go through the hero’s journey to save one person or to reveal a hidden truth. If a story follows the hero’s journey, it includes the three categories of the archetypes—character, place, event. Midwinterblood written by Marcus Sedgwick is one example of a novel that fits into the hero’s journey archetype.
