Beowulf it was an amazing thriving keep you on your toes movie. It was exciting and very driven as a film and book. He was all continent in his world he had fought 12 monster so he said and was very cocky and proud of his life. No one gave Beowulf the call to adventure he gave it to himself he wanted to go and fight this great monster that was destroying a town every time they played music or had parties. No one asked him to defeat the monster he just wanted a challenge. He didn’t want to back down but he did have I little lapse in judgment he was about to forget the creature under sea but then overcame the thought and attacked. No one will really lead or guide Beowulf but he did look to the king and he did ask him to process with the mission he came for. He mentally crossed a thresh hold he went from being super cocky and conceded to calm continent and a stronger drive for life. He became allies with the king, his wife, the towns people, and his men that he bring with him and, he become enemies with Grendel and his mother and some sea creatures. He tested his self with fighting Beowulf and killing his mother and then the last challenge was with a dragon. He was in the darkness of the sea trying to fight the mother at the bottomless pit of the ocean. Before he was murder he was cont6ent and strong willed as a person and not the old ways he was used to. He literally was giving you a gold sword to fight his enemy Grendel and his mother. His most challenge test was fighting the dragon. Everyone thought he was dead when he went to fight Grendel’s mother and they started to grieve but then he surfaced with her head on his sword and everyone was surprised. Even though Beowulf died he left a great memory he started out as a cocky jerk but in the end he was persistent and calming and challenge. He led his men into great victories and he made his city proud he made the king he was voluntary working for proud. He some what made me proud like yeah man go fight win type thing. He made them want to join the fight even if they were to die he was a hero in history.

John Wick was a very strong man because he fought against countless enemies just to send people a message that he didn't allow people to mess around with him, despite the events that happened in his life in the past. John was a very compelling man to go against what the public believed and how he didn't want to conform because of the passing of his wife. He fought for what he believed and attempted to fight for his son in the process, no matter how hard of a challenge that John Wick faced, he went above and beyond for the right to live.

I think that daddy warbucks was the one who went through the twelve stages. he always lived a life of riches and to give back or see how it felt he adopted a orphan to show u how it was to go from rags to riches. the media kinda pushed him and the women that worked with him had to push him to let her stay then he went through a threshold of being the rich man that just wanted to look like a considerate man in the media to loving her and wanting her to be his kid forever. and then he had to fight mrs. hanging to sign off that Annie could live with him and stay with him. he showed so much courage and compassion and love for her it was a great movie.

The movie I chose to write about is Never back Down. This film fits the theme of “the heroes quest because it has an event that fits in all 12 stages. The main character (Jake tyler) or “hero’s” ordinary world consists of playing football hanging out with friends and getting into a fist fight every once in a while. Jake’s call to adventure happens when he gets into a fight during a football game that forces his mom to move and attempt to start a new life in Florida. The refusal of the call is that Jake is not in agreement of the move and feel that it is unfair that he is forced to move to a new state in the middle of his senior year. Shortly after arriving to Florida and enrolling in school Jake discovers that there was footage of his football brawl and everyone in his new town already know who he is. This in turn causes him to make lots of friend, and a lot of allies. For example his first day at school he meets his soon to be best friend (Max Cooperman) shortly after he is introduce to his soon to be mortal enemy (Ryan Mcarthy) although Ryan is introduced as a friend at first. One of the very first test or challenge he encounters is when he is invited to a party by his friend and crush (baja miller) and discovers that his “friend” Ryan is top dog at the school at MMA and thinks that ryan wants to knock him off his pedestal. So he provokes Ryan to a fist fight and demolishes Ryan’s face, spirit, and confidence. Guess it’s safe to say that’s when the heroes “innermost cave” stage begins. He finds himself hiding in his room for days trying to figure out how to face all of those people at his new school. He “Seizes the sword” by taking his friends Max advice and joining a mma club. When Ryan joins this club he meets his coach/ Mentor (jean rouqa). He trains and trains and soon discovers an opportunity to get back at his enemy when a mma tournament begins he joins. And at the end he over comes his fears and physical pain and defeats his rival and earns the respect, loyalty and love hes been craving!

It tells a great way about what happened and above what levels they went through in the movie. this person follows the 12 stages to a totally point. I feel like I was there in the movie right there by his side and I wanted to respect him in the end.
