The Hero with a Thousand Faces



So this book is the main book I have been reading all semester.
I don't understand 1/4 of it on my own.
But then I go to class and I come out feeling like a genius.

This book tells the process a hero must take- Disney movies (pixar) are great at emphasizing this. Star Wars was based to follow this.

I was going to try and be all creative and put my life in the form of the steps of a hero- but I think I must save that for another day.

But what I was thinking is that the hero goes through a sort of transformation, stepping into 'the belly of the beast' in some sort of sense- (Toy Story, they enter into Sids house. Finding Nemo, Marlin is swallowed by a whale. Or, if you have seen Where the Wild Things are- the kid hidding in the stomach is a great example) and then they are reborn in a sense.
I guess I could relate going into the belly (a nice belly) as marriage- I will come out a new person, wont I?

Marriage is an interesting thing....going away to college is an intersting thing, graduating highschool, being baptized, turning 12, 13, 18, 20....all intersting things. But marraige is the only one who you acutally have to involve someone other than yourself. But in the best way possible

Haha. This all sounds random.

It snowed again today in Rexburg. Oi with the poodles already....
