Journeys often confront a person with arduous ordeals which makes them susceptible to transformations. You can see this in 'I am Malala ' when Malala clashes with countless obstacles, causing her to adapt to her situation and speak out. This ultimately allows her to transform from a normal schoolgirl to a world known symbol of peace and equality. In contrast, though, some journeys are detrimental but inevitable due to prevailing circumstances as seen in Peter Skrzynecki’s 'Sailing to Australia '. This is because, even though Peter was deported to Australia, mentally he resides in his fond homeland memories. Journey 's predominantly asserting some form of change into the individual, whether it be physical or mental, obtained along the way or
A journey offers life changing experiences, in which challenges can dictate one’s path. Physical journeys involve the identifying of the new and exploring the changing environments, which leads the explorer on fresh new experiences. The process of physical journeys and inner journeys allows the protagonists to reflect on the impact of the trip. This is done through a variety of audio and visual techniques which are present in both Barry Cook’s Film Mulan 1998 and The Serial Podcasts, by Sarah Koenig.
In addition, journey is about being individualistic or collectivistic of the characters or heroes. Anime journeys focus on being collectivistic and because of that, the story becomes unpredictable because the journey revolves

In the words of John Steinbeck, a famous author known for writing about social and economic issues “A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip: a trip takes us”. Many famous people include the “what” about journeys, but many don’t include the “why”. The objective of a journey is to change or teach something about the character’s morals, connections between people or about the Earth. Some famous examples of these teachings include The Odyssey by Homer, The Good Soldiers by David Finkel and The Cruelest Journey: 600 Miles to Timbuktu a travel narrative by Kira Salak.
What is a personal journey? A personal journey is the way a person changes throughout a series of events that take place in their life. In the beginning of the book, A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, Salva was just a young boy who attended school daily and depended on his parents for food. But when war struck his village, he would have to be separated from his family and live on his own until he found them again. By the end of the book, Salva had grown into a much more mature person.
Throughout the story, “Invierno” by Junot Dìaz, there are many journeys that are taken by each character. Each character had experienced a different journey whether if it was a literal or metaphorical journeyed. In the short story, “Invierno” by Junot Dìaz, Mami takes a literal journey from her homeland the Dominican Republic towards the United States, specifically New Jersey. Mami takes the long journey with her family and despite the positives of receiving a better life, ultimately this journey was in fact a negative experience for Mami because she faced a lot of hardships transitioning from the Dominican Republic to the U.S. For instance, one hardship she faces instantly when coming to New Jersey was trying to learn and understand the English language when nobody wants to help her and having to feel lonely the entire time being over in New Jersey. Although, Mami was pleased with the idea of coming at first and hearing about the laundry room.
Phoenix's trip. In the short story A Worn Path by Eudora Welthy, an elderly woman, Phoenix, makes a physically demanding journey to get medicine for her grandson, whom, as we find out at the end of the short story, may or may not be alive. I believe that the short story’s parallels the path through life: each individuals path through life can be physically stressful, combating things that we aren’t prepared for, but push through, much like Phoenix’s struggles through her journey. Also, much like Phoenix’s tendency to mistake objects for other things only to realize their true properties later, on the path through life people jump to conclusions, seeing a situation or person a certain way, only to change their opinion later.

In Homer’s novel, the Odyssey, many people travel, the name of the book itself means “journey”. In ancient Greece, a person famed for their intelligence, wealth or strength, was a hero. These were qualities people gained through slaying monsters or conquering foreign lands. However, to become a hero, one must travel and give up being a host which was another major value to the Greeks. People became heroes and gained wealth through travel in the Odyssey, showing that ancient Greeks valued journeying over staying home and being a host.
For instance, according to the Wandering Wages, a family who in their ten years of parenting have traveled to four different continents, have observed that among many other things, “Kids who travel gain a better understanding of the greater world than those who don’t experience life abroad” (https://wanderingwagars.com/8-reasons-travel-kids/#:~:text=Each%20time%20they%20are%20introduced,that%20will%20last%20a%20lifetime). Wandering Wage’s observation shows that travel for kids is important because they get to view a different environment from their own, allowing them to gain a better grasp of the world around them, a similar conclusion reached by Ben Sasse. This is significant because traveling,
Mary Oliver shows that in her poem, “The Journey,” the speaker of the poem is going through a learning phase, learning who they are as a person and what their goals are as well. She writes “One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice,” this proves my point above. They have found their “journey” but of course, there are some people who just keep trying to put them down and it just doesn’t end. You finally realize that you’re the only person who can save yourself from anything and everything life throws at
Journeys play a central role in conveying a message to the reader in stories. A journey can be seen as the act of traveling, for a long time, from a certain place to another.

The Ultimate Safari reflects the greatest and wildest journey where danger and tension are entrenched in the hearts of the people due to the ongoing civil war.
