"Hero's Journey" has three steps which are seperation, intation, & return. This "Hero's Journey" paper is on this boy named Phillip Engright who left the island he was staying on & his father to go with his mother to America. In my opinion he did complete his "Hero's Journey".

Phillip's seperation was when he had to leave his father & friends . His calling was when his mother wanted to leave the island so they could be in a safer place far from WW2 . His treshold was that he didint have a choice since his parents already made the plans for him & his mother to leve to the Americas. In my opion his 2nd sepration was harder then the first. for In the first sepration it was just from his father & friends but he knew he would see them agian yet in the second he was seperated from his mother and didnt know if he would ever see her or anybody else again.

Phillip's intation is trying to survive blind.with an old man(Timonthy) & the chefs cat (stewcat). He at first gave us the readers the feeling that he wanted to give up and was just acting like a little child selffish and ungrateful of surving the torpedo. His abyss was not knowing where he was at being blind and barely having any survival skills. His mentor was Timonthy,he taught Phillip some survival skills and how to be independent. His transformation was Timonthy died and he was left alone with only stewcat. In my opinion His Ination where good beacuse he still did everything to survive.

Phillps return was when he was rescued by some type of coast guard. He had surgery on his eyes and was able to see again. He was reaquinted with his family and friends. Yet he didnt hang out much with his old friends. My opinon is that phillip matured and grew through his experience.

Phillip In my opion completted his "Hero's Journey". He was at firts seperated from his father and friends and then from everyone else he knew. He did all he could to surive and be reaquinted with his family & friends. I dont know if Ill every be able to survive a "Hero's journey" as strong as this on. I guess I'll only know when it happens to me.
