Movie-Cast away

Chuck  crossed his first threshold is the first stormy night at sea tackling the masses of waves. In which, he uses an arc he had built to sheild  himself . The  belly of the whale is reflected when the final separation from the heros known world and self. Its shown when he posses a moment and watches the island distance its self  from him as he rows his raft.  The magic flight is the supernatural aid he receives from the whale. The significance of the whale was to guide , alert  and direct him to safety. This was seen  when it spat out water and made noise when Chuck was unaware of what was happening for example, when Wilson (the volley ball that had a face on it ) floated away . It woke him up  when he was weary and sleeping on the raft. He had to choose between his companion and his chances of survival , in which he choose the raft meaning he had to sacrifice  a friend .  A big ship passed by and without the assistance of the whale it would have went by spitting water on him to wake him up. The rescue from without is shown when the crew in the boat  rescues him from his death bed and assist him to get back to his actual family and everyday life. He didnt know the owners of the boat but they still helped him. Seeing that in the first place a mode of transport (plane ) got him into the middle of nowhere and another mode of transport (ship) got him home.

take home quiz on monomyth

My monomyth cycle has always been revolving around my subconcious and has grown to be attached to my living style. Ever since I was in first grade, I found myself with no voice to air out my views. Wether it was to stand up for myself or have authority over my fellow students, it was too overwhelming  and mindful. Even If I was to be put on the spot light and carry out the tasks diligently, I simply sprung up back to the back like nothing happened. As many at times I found myself just being picked on without hesitation but that led me to be withdrawn from the real world. Thats when I refused my first call to learn my capabilities.

The first threshold  I encountered was when I was shipped to boarding school  at the age of 13 and from then on I have been on the road. I had to learn to adapt to my surroundings but the problem I had to face was making new friends because I was attached to my old friends. I was too afraid to make new ones, not until I learnt that I cannot spend the next 3 months without talking to anyone and made my first new friend in high school called Nkosi. I learnt we were both down to earth but she had more courage than I had. As she managed to make more friends sooner than I did.

My belly of the whale when I was supposed to  read a short story infront of the whole school. I believed, how hard would it be since I always read in class every day. Everybody didnt know that I stummered because they never heard  me  read in public, I also felt it right before I began to read but it ws too late to change my mind so I had to continue. But with practice I stopped stummering because I had to learn to over come my fear. I felt like digging a hole and not resurfacing afterwards.

As the years went by  I was tempted to stay out late, especially during the summer breaks and hang out with my friends but my father was a strict man.  For the most part I was used to living away from home and it bothered me why couldnt I live freely. However I still had respect for him, even if I managed to go out once in a while his permission.

My father used to take us to south africa and botswana to visit relatives. My moment of apothesis was when I went to visit my grandfather in Botswana, he had a lake at the back of the house and a farm. I hadnt seen him in years so he had a big feast made for us and it was a tradition to honor the oldest child who was present for being collective and acknowledging the presence of older people. For one I had managed to be the oldest at the time and was pampered for a day.
