Finding Nemo: The Hero's Journey

270 Words1 Page

First, after a hero has had a call to adventure they may refuse it. The refusal to call is usually the 3rd step in the hero’s journey. The refusal to call is when the hero has been called to adventure, but refuses the offer usually due to fear. This part of Finding Nemo is done well. After Marlin sees Nemo taken away by a scuba diver he tries to get him, but is too late. He however stays sad and alone, because of his fear of going out of the safe zone of the ocean. This shows that Marlin wants to get his son back, but he doesn’t want to leave the safe zone. He is having an internal conflict with himself. Should he risk going and getting killed or stay, but never see his son, Nemo again. This quote here can explain his not wanting to go rescue

    What did the author put into his mind that made everything be okay? We know at the end of the story he thinks that he now comes across as a father figure to this child he left stranded. Because that helpless baby was stranded, the baby now knows that life is meant to be cold all thanks to the “great” role model, MC. In class, we talk about consequences in life and how we are supposed to react from them. The correct way is to respond in a positive matter and learn to almost never do it again. Here’s the biggest question though, How is MC supposed to learn from the “consequences” if he doesn’t think he did anything wrong in the first place. The author knew he didn’t have a chance from the beginning.

  • The Two Journeys: Life of Pi and The Alchemist

    536 Words  | 2 Pages

    In his first voyage in 1492, when Christopher Columbus set out to search for Asia, he ended up landing in America on a small island in the Caribbean Sea, which he confidently thought was Asia. He then made several other voyages to the New World in search for riches, thinking that he was exploring an already explored land, but he had found the greatest riches of them all, undiscovered land, America. This shows that when one sets out on a mission, they face different challenges on the journey but in the end, achieve more than what they planned on achieving. The novel The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, and the novel Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, both describe two journeys where the characters achieve more when they learn about life, survival and patience, by understanding religion, tackling their fears, associating with nature, and encountering other characters from whom they learn something. The former is about a young shepherd named Santiago, who has a recurring dream of a treasure in Egypt, for which he makes a journey to achieve his “Personal Legend” by the help of a man who claims to be...

    For my video paper I chose to do a Pixar movie called Finding Nemo. Although Pixar movies are more aimed for the younger generations, it is becoming more popular for these movies to be introduced in the classrooms. In our DeVito text it shows and explains all the different forms of communication that can be related back to Finding Nemo. Along with other Pixar movies, they all portray many different aspects of communication. Nonverbal communication is presented in the movie by using gestures/movement. Although cartoon characters are not actually real people in the movie, they are created by real people who have experienced nonverbal communication in their lives.

He obviously did not care about his peers and family when he set out on his journey. “Family is not an important thing, it is everything.”(Michael J. Fox). Family will be there through thick and thin of all your problems. How can someone in their right mind not consult someone, especially their loved ones about their whereabouts. It is inhumane and cruel to put a human being through what his family went through. Sure enough, his bravery and stubbornness was truly his cause of

  • The Power of Nature Revealed in The Open Boat

    930 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1894, Stephen Crane said, "A man said to the universe: 'Sir, I exist!' 'However,' replied the universe, 'The fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.'" This short encounter of man and nature is representative of Crane’s view of nature. However, he did not always see nature as indifferent to man. In 1887, he survived a shipwreck with two other men. "The Open Boat" is his account from an outsider’s point of view of the two days spent in a dinghy. Crane pays special attention to the correspondent, who shares the chore of rowing with the oiler. While rowing, he contemplates his situation and the part that nature plays in it. Mainly through the correspondent’s reflection, Crane shows the power that nature and experience have in expanding people’s ignorant opinions of the world around them.

  • The Seabiscuit Story

    Seabiscuit is a story about a thoroughbred horse who everyone thought would not amount to anything. He proved them all wrong when he showed that he had heart for what he loved, which was racing. The horse proved everyone wrong by becoming a champion. In some ways I believe that I relate to the story of hardship and struggle portrayed in the story especially being a Native American, young woman living on the reservation.

  • Why Did Marlow Escape From Things Fall Apart

    250 Words  | 1 Pages

    ​I completely agree, that there is definitely a fear factor associated with Marlow's escape from Africa; yet, I almost feel as if Marlow feels guilty. Although Marlow may be running away, although he knows that he is just a single person in the macrocosm that is an entire empire, although he is disillusioned by the Kurtz's savage behaviors, he still feels obligated to share his experience with sailors who have not lived through the "horrors" he experienced. Marlow may be scared; however, he is not one to abandon his Apollonian side and just let his emotions cripple him. He still tries to make a change not matter how small the change is. Therefore, yes, I agree that Marlow is fleeing; however, he still tries his best to shed some

Now I could go on and on like any other paper about all the symbolism in The Old Man and the Sea but no matter what I did while reading it, in almost every aspect it screamed out to me as an impersonation or reflection of Hemingway’s own life in a multitude of ways that no one can deny. The Old Man and the Sea was an allegory referring to the Hemingway’s own struggles to preserve his writing i...
