“ I had to climb a mountain, there were all kinds of obstacles in the way. I had now to jump over a ditch, now to get over a hedge, and finally to stand still because i had lost my breath ’’. This was a dream of a stutterer, taken from the book “the hero with a thousand faces ’’ by the one and only Joseph Campbell, and that describes the hero’s journey, which is basic pattern found in many narratives from around the world, and comes in stages, and the stage I am in is the sixth which is called “the road of trials” ; which is a series of tests, tasks, or ordeals that I must undergo and overcome to get overhead, and get a step closer to my boon. The quote shown before is the dream of someone that is surprisingly very similar to my life; for I have to face obstacles everyday in life to get through the day or just get closer to the end of it. I face obstacles everyday and I manage to pass a lot and theres always a point where it gets overwhelming where I just cannot continue and must stop to take my breath, heal, and recharge to try to go on with life and its obstacles that stop me from getting to my life’s boons, and get can paralyzed sometimes, but the feeling of passing each obstacle is always very rewarding to me, it makes me feel like I am getting somewhere in life, and that im not just stuck with time passing by, wasting it. The stage I am in is the road of trials, and the reason I am in this stage of my life is that I think I have overcome all the other stages, and now I must take a very long series of tests to continue with life. I can already remember my first obstacle in life, which was school, and as I can remember I used to be and highly shy and sensitive kid, and I would usually be sitting alone in my own head thinking... ... middle of paper ... ...es. And a good example of one is the movie “The Avengers”, where tony stark(iron man) is in the ordinary word minding his own business, being a self obsessed billionaire gets the call to adventure to assemble a response unit known as the “Avengers Initiative” and refuses the call at first, but ends up accepting it and starts studying the problem which is a super villain named Loki, planning to take over the world. He has a supernatural aid which is his Iron super suit, and then comes the road of trials where Loki’s plan is a one of deceit designed to give The Avengers a false sense of control. Tony enters the Helicopter and acts like a rock star, he’s willing to become part of the group, but he still wants to do everything his way, secretly planting a virus in the computer system, playing with fire by messing with the Hulk and butting heads with Captain America.

  • Overcoming Obstacles In Edgar A. Guest's Poem See It Through

    681 Words  | 2 Pages

    In many parts of the poem, Guest uses metaphors to show the strength that one should always keep while facing their troubles. He tells his readers to "Lift your chin and square your shoulders, plant your feet and take a brace" to prepare for whatever could be ahead (lines 2-3). Even through the metaphor "Black may be the clouds above you" which gives a clear perception of difficult and hopeless moments that might be surrounding an individual, it is still better than running since it "will not save you" (lines 8-11). It is throughout the poem that Guest has used many metaphors to remind his readers about the facing the problems that will lie ahead. It is even pointed at points, such as, "You may fail, but fall fighting" to remind the reader that not all problems can be confronted. However, the author suggests that with a person's body language, like standing tall, could become a resolve. With these metaphorical commands, it gives the reader the feeling of a solider or fighter that is preparing to face an enemy. This is also further emphasized from his use of repetition. Guest repeats the figurative phrase, "See it through" to show the reader to overcome the toughest or most hopeless of problems. It is also from this statement that he suggests to go keep going no matter what since in the end it is possible that one can succeed. Becoming the clearest and most encouraging phrase and title of the poem, Guest has made the distinction of his theme to overcome everything that one can in order to achieve the best for one's

    Choices are never easy, facing hundreds upon thousands of them in our lifetime, man has to make decisions based upon these choices.

The poem opens up with the narrator encountering a point in the woods that has a trail diverge into two separate paths. In the poem Frost presents the idea of man facing the difficult predilection of a moment and a lifetime.

  • Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Of Development

    I have always viewed my life in simple stages. For example, I knew I wanted to graduate high school, go to college, have a career, be in a relationship, and eventually start a family. However, I never thought of my life in the stages that Erik Erikson describes in his psychosocial theory of development. In his theory, Erikson describes eight stages of development starting in the first year of life and ending in late adulthood. These different stages attempt to explain the psychosocial obstacles we encounter at each developmental milestone, who we are most influenced by, and what internal questions we might need to answer. How people chose to confront these different obstacles can effect how healthy or unhealthy development might be.
