Write a 500-word essay analyzing the role of the hero’s journey in contemporary culture.

The word hero as defined as an “individual who has the courage of conviction to perform feats that benefit the general populace, acts as a soldier of virtue, and has an altruistic spirit that urges him or her to act against evil and defend the greater good at all costs, even sacrificing his own well-being or life.” (Harrison 2). Although heroes can come in any shape and size they are commonly found in stories we read, movies we watch, or people we look up to. We do not think about it much but even our own life is made up of many hero’s journeys. We never realize that our hardships and how we overcome them is exactly what a Hero’s Journey is about and why we relate to and enjoy these stories so much.

We decide whether or not to respond to the call of adventure. Although people can not see what struggles and adventures I go through by looking at me, they shape who I am and who I become. The Hero’s Journey that we go on in our lives is what makes the person you see. Allow me to give you a little background of my life and my call to adventure. My family is from Italy and that was all my grandparents knew, but when they were having my mother, they wanted her to have a different life, where she could be what she wanted to be. So they came to America and opened an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. While running the restaurant my grandfather also had two other jobs to bring in enough money to have somewhere to live and food to eat. While my mother was growing up it was hard for her because they did not have a car and she had to walk far from and to school, but she decided that it was not going to stop her. She excelled in school because of her hard work and was the first person in her family to go to college. Due to the fact that she loved school and what it gave her she became a teacher for young kids. She wanted to give them an opportunity like she had been given. Much like her mother and father she wanted a better life for her children so when her and my father had enough money they moved out of Brooklyn and came to New Jersey. They moved to where I grew up in a quiet small town called South Bound Brook. Growing up in this close knit environment made me who I am today and I am thankful for all the adventures my parents went through to get me the opportunity to be there. Going through high school was tough for me, going to a small town and then transferring to a different larger unfamiliar school
