"Just as with the man in the fairy tale who turned whatever he touched into gold, with me everything is turned into newspaper clamor." part 2

The hero's poster were all very cool. Now of course there's always some uncertainty of actually finishing the assignment as part of a group of 4 teenage boys. Needless to say, there could definitely have been more effort and supplies put in, but I do think it turned out quite well. We did our project about Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Even though the movie is the first of a trilogy covering the entire story arc of the book, the story within the first movie actually conforms to the Hero's Journey pretty well. I feel our presentation could have gone better, but I am actually fairly proud of how the poster itself turned out.
As for the other presentations, there were actually a lot of characters that I had never even considered as fitting the Hero's Journey. The example that stands out the most for me is Rapunzel, from the movie Tangled. I absolutely love that movie (I am moderately ashamed to admit), but I had never thought of the Hero's Journey as conforming to that storyline. however, it works extraordinarily well. The whole leaving home, and adventuring, and finding yourself and all that stuff happens exactly in sequence. And not only that, but their poster turned out incredibly! They had a giant yarn braid, and there was glitter all over. It was really cool. I mean, it pays to have actual artistic talent.
