851 Words4 Pages

While watching this movie Ray Kinsella, the main character he was on a journey or quest to please the voices that were telling him to “...build it and he will come.” His journey throughout this while movie was to please the voice telling him to do odd things that he had no clue what to do. With enough small clues he ended up figuring out what to do. Ray Kinsella shows many traits of an epic hero. In fact, he shows all of the traits in the slightest ways or even in the boldest ways. An example of one of the traits that a hero has that Ray has is him being mortal. This is one of the most obvious ones because he’s a human. Homosappieans can die and can get hurt.

He went through the stages Resurrection, Rescue, Abduction, Threshold Crossing, Brother Battle, Enemies, Call to Adventure, Refusal of Adventure and last but not least Ordinary World. These stages are important because they made him a hero and put him through a quest to be put through a journey that seems as if he needs. For example, the Threshold Crossing was when Ray crossed over the threshold to be with his father, the baseball player. That was a really important stage than any other that was presented. This was the most important because this is what the whole journey was for. The god telling him to build the baseball field and he will come meant to build it and his father would appear. Another stage that was also relevant was Refusing the Call or not wanting to go through with the quest. This happened in the beginning of the movie. He thought he was going crazy so he didn't listen to the voices for a while until he finally took on the journey. This actually happened a couple times. Another time this occurred was when the haters got him. He thought that they were right and that he should stop chasing it. Then again, he continued to follow the journey. This is important because if he didn't follow through he would have not met up with his father. Ray Kinsella went through plenty of important stages throughout the book but these were the most important than any other

Within this chapter the author explains how the standard creator may loosely base their writing around the design of a quest. As a result, the author starts with a character who orders another to journey somewhere, to retrieve something, and then the character comes to a revelation about their life in the greater scheme. Foster stresses the importance in the knowledge that these minuscule errands the characters always seem to detect a growth in self- knowledge. Additionally, Foster introduces the concept of a standard pattern, he describes

  • Collins Acts Of Heroism

    678 Words  | 3 Pages

    Stephen Crane is able to show that the acts of heroism is not based on actions but by motivation simply by showing the intentions of Collins. For instance, Collins’s comrades are laughing at Collins for being too scared to go fetch the water because it is across the firefight; as a result, Collins damns them and says that he will as a form of threat to his comrades. Collins wants to go retrieve the water just so that he can show his comrades that he has the courage to do so; consequently, Collins is merely thinking about showing his comrades that he will do it rather than doing it out of sheer compassion. Collins did agree in the end to go get water for everyone, however, his reasoning of doing so does not correlate with the essence of courage, which is the bravery of putting themselves on the line for the sake of others because he is acquiring the water just to prove his peers wrong.
