This paper is about a young person who went through the hero's journey. This person was Phillip. He is white,skinny, and sometimes he can be a little immature. This character did finish the hero's journey because he matured a lot and in the end he kept everything he learned into his brain. He learned how to do stuff on his own like catch a "langosta" while blind.

The separation for Phillip wasn't really his choice. He was forced of leaving the place he loved because of the war. Phillip had no choice his parents just demanded him to go, this being the threshole. At last it was time to leave with his mom on the boat. He waved goodbye to everyone he loved. He was now into the the open water in a boat with other people.

Next is the innovation this is where Phillip finds his mentor after the boat he was sailing on was torpedoed down. Phillip and his mom were now separated. Phillip Didn't really have to look for his mentor his mentor came to him. The mentors name was Timothy A big Black man with a weird accent and his cat named Stew Cat. After their off the raft and onto the island Phillip is blind and he goes through a hard time getting used to everything. Phillip is transformed when Timothy slapped him, thus changing Phillips attitude. Later on the the book Timothy becomes sick and Phillip helped him out for the next few days while he got better. Then a big storm comes and Timothy protects Phillip from it, thus killing Timothy.

Phillips Return was very lucky. He was rescued by soldiers. If it was for the fire and the seaweed he used to make the signal fire he wouldn't have been rescued. All thanks to Timothy he was able to survive and hunt for his own food and make a signal fire. Phillip made another hut on his own as well.

In this paper I talked about The mentor and how he helped Phillip survive, make stuff, work on his own, keep track of the days, and some other stuff too. I also talked about each stage Phillip went through. This character did finish the hero's journey because he finished every step of the hero's journey.
