The ‘Rite of Passage’ by Richard Wright has a preeminent place in the literary world because this book teaches a lesson of survival, white power, and influence. Wright is an American author who wrote novels, poems, and short stories. He is best known for his book ‘Black Boy’ and ‘Native Son’. The book ‘Rite of Passage’ written by Richard Wright is about a 15 year old boy who has straight A’s in school and the people he has lived with all his life is not really his family, which leads to his debacle journey. As Johnny goes through this difficult stage in life he decides to run away not thinking about where he’s going to stay or how he’s going to get food. He decides to join a gang of orphans with his best friend Billy in order to survive.

In the short story "Rite of Passage" by Doug Beardsley, the narrator is an inexperienced but determined hockey player. At the beginning of the story the narrator is unable to succeed as well as the other players "…I'd missed yet another check…" More importantly he is incapable of playing hockey at the same level as his brother. The narrator does not have great agility in his skating technique, yet he is still determined to do all he can to succeed “I don’t know what I did but it worked.” He was able to get around his brother and score a goal on his own. After scoring a goal, the narrator no longer feels below his brother "I received a new, quiet respect from my brother." He felt his brother respected him and his new found skills as a hockey

Following the Departure stage, the six step Initiation stage begins with the road of trials, or the test stage. This step is often the most lengthy, as it is the hero’s entire journey. The road of trials consists of all the obstacles and events that the hero experienced and overcame to develop necessary characteristics to become a true hero (Bray). These events, similar to the belly of the whale, all aid in the transformation of the hero, as each event teaches the hero a valuable lesson. Joseph Campbell, in an interview with Bill D Moyers, emphasized the importance of the road of trials by describing its importance in changing the hero. Campbell told Moyers, “You have to be transformed from a maiden to a mother. That’s a big change, involving many dangers” (Campbell and Moyers 154). Through this, Campbell is describing how in order for the protagonists to completely transform into a true hero, they must face many different challenges, all which contribute to the overall transformation. The number of challenges in the road of trials can vary greatly between works. In the case of Huckleberry Finn, his road of trials consisted of four major events. One of the events along his journey was when he aided the King and Duke in their scams at the Royal Nonesuch theater. By helping in the massive con acts and scamming performed by the King and Duke, Huck learned what might become of him if he continued with his current lifestyle of being a con man. This lesson helped Huck become a

The conclusion of As I Lay Dying is as twisted as the rest of novel. In the final section, it is revealed that Anse married the woman he borrowed the spades from. (Hence why Cash referred to the house as Mrs. Bundren’s house.) Anse is certainly the most detestable character in the novel, and his final action in the story only solidifies that opinion. He met his new wife while looking for some tools to bury his first wife! Anse has moved on from Addie faster than the family was able to bury her. Furthermore, the new Mrs. Bundren seems to be just as wacky as the rest of the family. Not only does she agree to marry a man she just met, but she also is okay with the fact that he buried his first wife the previous day! By all the measures, the new

In every society, there are certain times when the members of society move to a different point, or social role, in their lives. Often, these role changes are marked by rituals or ceremonies, which symbolize a move from one social stage of life to another. These ceremonies are also known as rites of passage, which are completed in three phases: the separation phase, the transition phase and the incorporation phase. Each culture has several examples of rites of passage that occur as early as birth and as late in life as death. One good example of a rite of passage is a high school graduation, because it marks a young adult’s transition from a student to a graduate. When you analyze the graduation ceremony, each phase can be seen and explained quite clearly.

Adulthood is when we mature into a person that continues to live life in reality as we let our childhood and adolescence become a faint memory. The memories, however, taught us lessons of acceptance as we cannot always shape the future. Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye takes a journey through the rite of passage by experiencing the innocence of youth and the phoniness of adulthood.

The stories have a major impact on my life in unexpected ways. When asked to consider what story affected me the most during my semester in Composition II, I would have to say Karen Russell’s “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”. Like so many stories I read this semester, the first time I read the story my understanding of the message was completely different from the subsequent times. I believe a mark of a talented writer is for their stories to spur discussion. Russell describes various stages the wolf girls’ transition through during their stay at St. Lucy’s Home for Girls. I found in reading stages one, two and four they closely resemble my own transition in my college career.

An archetype where life moves from one stage to another is considered a journey. This archetype can be separated into two different categories, western and eastern. Western journeys have a set destination they must reach and the series of events that are in order. Eastern journeys have no destination. They are series of happenings in no particular order, whatever happens is accepted for what it is. In Vince Gilligan’s television show Breaking Bad, the main character, Walter White, experiences an eastern style journey in his life as he battles cancer and tries to accumulate money to leave his family with.

In both pieces, the main character undertakes a journey that teaches them about who they are, what they’re worth, and what they are capable of. In the Odyssey, Odysseus proved himself as a strong and great leader. Whilst on his journey back home, he comes across several different obstacles that he has to battle, face to face with them. In the end he defeats these challenges and reaches his ultimate goal, returning home. Similarly in the poem The Journey, the character struggles against her conflicts she encounters on her way to her destination of letting go of things holding her back from being herself and happy. She proves herself as a perseverer, as she never stops going for one of her hurdles within her journey. The authors convey their
