According to Joesph Campbell's definition of a hero, my hero is Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen has gone beyond herself to accomplish something by giving away many things to her audience and others. She finds people who have gone through a serious struggle (hurricane victims, child with sickness, etc.) or people who have helped people even if they are not so fortunate, and then she helps those people. For instance, Ellen once helped two women who started a school in Detroit by giving them fifty thousand dollars to help them with food, electronic, and other necessities to help the school. Ellen has also supported many lesbians and gays, she herself is a lesbian and I am sure she gives hope to many people. All in all, Ellen definitely deserves the title of a hero.

My perfect world would most likely be on an island, but I would have other islands close by that my friends and family lived on and islands that has the stores, movie theater and what not. I would live with my family (husband and kids, not parents) on a separate island in a very large house with everything we needed.The best part of the house will be the pool, it will be an infinity pool very close to the ocean, and the bottom of the pool will be clear so you can see all the fish and other animals underneath you. We would mostly travel in boats and/or swim, the beaches would be filled with white sand and the water would be a clear blue. The dolphins would swim with you and none of the sharks attacked people. We would definitely speak English and most likely be considered a part of the United States. As a job I would most likely want to be an interior designer or just play around with different things because we would have enough money not to work. My Golden Age would definitely be amazing!

this but with clear bottom

A double edged gift that I have received in the past year would be tickets/the trip to the BCS Championship Game. The good part about this gift was that I got to go to California with my family and we had a really good time and the experience was GREAT! The bad part about this gift was the fact that Auburn lost. My family supports Auburn a lot, my mom went to Auburn and in 2011/2012 when Auburn won the BCS Championship Game we were in Arizona but did not get tickets to the game. This made the game much much more important and exciting. Although it was a great experience I really wish that Auburn could have pulled it through and won.

We also were at the Auburn vs Georgia game and the Auburn vs. Alabama game.

You got to spend time with your family...not a double edged gift,

A recent loss of innocence or end of childhood experience, was when my neighbor fell of the roof of our shared lake house. This was an end of childhood experience because I have known him my and entire life and he was extremely close to dying. My neighbor, Bo, is one of the most interesting people I know and I care quite a bit about him, he has a wife and three kids (all older than me). One day a couple of months ago Mr. Bo was at our lake house with his son James, he had to pressure wash the side of our house. He got up on a ladder that was placed on the roof of the screen porch and pressure washed the side of the house. As he was getting of the ladder he slipped and fell onto the post at the end of the stairs below. The result of this horrible landing was a punctured lung, eight shattered ribs, and a broken shoulder. Mr. Bo was then taken to a hospital in Macon, GA and was placed there for around a week. To this day he is fine and you would never know what happened. This accident was an end of childhood experience for me because I have known Mr. Bo my entire life and he would have been only the second person very close to me to die. None of my close relatives have died while I have been alive and Mr. Bo's near death experience really made me realize that people I know and love will die.

The war has brought a horrible end Many countries who used to be friends Everyone fighting for who knows why Bodies left and right all have died

On top of a mountain Far in the distance I see a fountain The only thing not broken This must be my golden token

I decide to head in that direction When I arrive I stare at my reflection My throat burns from thirst But my gut tells me this water is cursed

I do not know if I will live much longer I must drink to grow stronger I cup my hands to take a sip I bring the water to my lip

The water makes me feel better As I continue to drink I feel like a debtor I suddenly stop and can't seem to breathe The ground seems to shake from beneath I fall to the ground I have stopped breathing I guess I should have listened to my gut



=Assignment #6=

A story that illustrates the archetype of change would be The Flood. In The Flood the evil and dark world is changed by G-d into a pure world that has been cleansed. In my opinion this change could be describe as both positive and negative. On one hand the flood is a positive thing because the world has been rid of evil and is only home to the good, but on the other hand the flood could be viewed as a negative change because the civilization was just completely killed off and forced to start almost completely over. Although I think there are some small negative aspects to the change showed in The Flood the positive of the change definitely out ways the negative.

In the book there is a series of pictures that show a butterfly going through metamorphosis. This transformation can describe the literal transformation of the butterfly going from a caterpillar to a butterfly, but this picture can also symbolize many different changes that occur in life. The butterfly going through metamorphosis mainly symbolizes a child becoming an adult. The child is like the caterpillar, not always the best looking and has difficulty doing a lot of things, when the butterfly is in the cocoon, it is like the child becoming a teen and going through the major changes of puberty. As the beautiful butterfly emerges from the cocoon it is like the teen becoming an adult and finding themselves, they can now fly (figuratively speaking).

My favorite season is summer. Summer is my favorite season because of many reasons. One reason is that we have no school almost throughout the entire season. This is great for me because I need a long break between school years. Another reason I love summer so much is because I have a summer birthday. I absolutely love having a summer birthday because I usually get to go to my lake for my birthday and if the weather is nice I am able to swim, tube, wakeboard, and tan. Summer is also my favorite season because I have a sleep away camp that I go to every year for a week and look forward to it almost all year long. The camp I go to is Camp Greenville and I go with a couple of my friends and we typically have an amazing time (this summer will be my 6th year in a row going). One of my absolute favorite things about summer is the weather. Although I do not mind cold weather, warm weather is my favorite by far. When there is warm weather I can wear shorts and t-shirts, I can go swimming, and last but not least I get to drink Starbuck's frappuccinos (double chocolatey chip is my favorite) and eat Yogli Mogli without freezing to death.



=Assignment #9=

In the Man the Mythmaker unit archetypes are used to symbolize things throughout almost every story and also symbolize things in real life. The Golden Age archetype symbolizes the rewards and good things that happen our life, like a birth of a child or getting the present you really really wanted for Christmas. The Silver Age is mostly symbolized by okay things for instance something that for me would be getting a C on a test I studied really hard for.The Bronze Age would be something turning bad, not completely bad yet, some hope to turn good, but pretty bad. An example of this could be getting really sick, there is still some hope that you could get better;but, it is most likely that you won't get better. In my opinion the Bronze Age is the worst because you still are trying to find hope but there is so little that it is very depressing. The final age is the Iron Age, the Iron Age mainly symbolizes the bad and sad things in life. For instance a loved one dying for any reason would definitely represent the Iron Age. All in all, these archetypes help order are emotions and feelings throughout everyday lives.

Throughout the Man the Mythmaker unit I have learned very many lessons. One lesson that has definitely stuck out and has made the biggest impact on my perspective of life would be for every action there is always a consequence. These consequences could be absolutely horrible or could be the greatest thing that ever happens to you. This has affected my life because I have started to look at life more as a series of paths, what I mean by this is that if I take one path, I am led to one road;however, if I take another path, the outcome can be completely different. This lesson has somewhat helped me in school as well. For instance, studying for a test is an action that most likely results in a reward of some type; while, not studying for a test is a decision that results in a punishment of some sort.
