Recommended: An essay on perseverance

I was begging my mom and dad to let me go up this cliff. We were sitting on the houseboat playing cards and I really wanted to go up this cliff. There was on part on the cliff where it wasn't as steep. That was the part I wanted to climb up but my mom said no every time. I was collecting firewood and went up to the part I could climb up and looked at it more. I realized to climb this hill I had to grab onto a root to help me get up. So I went again and asked “Mom can I please go up the hill and look for lizards.” She finally said “yes.” So I ran to the cliff and slowly climb up. I was finally standing on the edge of it. I went up into the forest. I saw to first lizard and chased it and lost it. I saw one more and chased it to the ledge of

    It took about an hour to climb to the top of the mountain because the higher we got, the steeper it was and the more challenging it got to climb because of the loose gravel and rocks. Once we reached the top of the mountain we sat down on the floor to eat some hot Cheetos and drink some of our Gatorade. After catching our breath, we began to take pictures and we saw a skunk on the opposite side of the mountain away from the park. We had never seen a skunk before so we were eager to take a picture with it. As we began our journey down towards the skunk, there was a huge rock on the edge of the mountain that I wanted to stand on and take a picture so that I could capture the beautiful scenery in the background. Smiley wanted to take the same picture as well but when he stood on the rock, it tilted over and rolled down the mountain along with my brother. He was holding the lantern when he fell so I no longer had any light. The only light source available was the screen on my phone and the flash on the camera. The first thing I did was take a picture of the bottom of the mountain to see where my brother was at. To his luck, he only suffered a broken leg. So he wouldn’t think about the pain,

    Joseph Campbell studied ancient greek mythology for many years. Joseph filled each stage of the journey very well. He accepted all the challenges he got and all the help he needed. He really knew how to fulfill all those stages. Like everyone goes through a heroic journey everyone has to have a story to tell. My story is very contrasty from Joseph’s because he really knew what all the stages meant. My hero's journey consists of my threshold crossing which was when I started depending on myself more than I did on others, my helpers/mentors like my parents, teachers,my sister and many more influential people in my life and my rewards were getting awards in school, having a nice family, and many friends.

    Out in the middle of nowhere, a wave showers on me. “Ughhh, wait what the.” I yell. “Where am I?” As I stood up, I gazed around trying to figure out where I was. “What is this place?” I muttered. I took a gander out on the horizon and saw a big sphere like object. “This looks like a pretty eerie place." I'm equipped with clothes, an axe, and a pickaxe. Confused why I have this stuff. I dreamed about those survival TV shows I once watched. So I began hitting trees to make myself a small wooden base.

    I jumped out of the car with my two sisters and ran to the bathroom. When we left the bathroom, we walked back to the car. We saw that our dad was still putting gas in the car, so we went into the store to buy some sweets. I bought “warheads” that said extremely sour, and a bag of chips called “baked with fire” that looked like they would taste really hot. When we purchased our food, we walked back to the car. As soon as we started driving, I opened my bag of chips. I was so scared that they would be extremely hot. For that reason, I also bought a bottle of water. I opened it before I took a bite out of the chip. Luckily, they were not hot at all! I grabbed my sour candy and tasted it. My face changed so quickly; that I started to squint my eyes and point my lips. I could not take another bite of it because it was really sour! Eventually, I was not hungry anymore. Probably because I ate my whole bag of chips and a sandwich. When I finished eating, I was feeling exhausted, so I took a long nap. I woke up, and dad told me that we only needed to drive for one more hour. While we were driving through town, we saw a row of trees on fire! It was so smoky that we could barely see the street we were driving on. I felt scared for life and terrified that we might crash. After a few more minutes of driving, the smoke cleared up and we could see again. Finally, the hour passed and we arrived in California. Mrs.
