My paper is about the Hero's journey of Phillipe Enright. On how he has to struggle fro life and death. and of dealing with handicaps in his epic tale the Cay. I think it's a great story on how to survive on a island, and with someone you hardly know. And you both have to put your differences aside so both can try to stay alive long enough to be found.
The separation of this story when Phillipe is made to leave the island because of the war. His mother and father want him not to be in harms way.Then there comes the calling when he is forced to actually go. So he and his mother are sent off on a ship because of his mother fear of flying. This was the threshold of the story. Then comes into play is the descent when Phillipe and his mom on the boat in the middle of Caribbean Sea. this sums up separation
The initiation of the cay and of Phillipe begins like this. With the abyss when Phillipe and his mom get blowing up on the boat they're on because of the war going on. And when blowing up he get hit in the head real hard with and object from the boat which then later in the story makes him blind. And ends up getting saved from boat wreck by an old black man named Timothy. Next they land on an island(Cay) and are stranded. As on the island Phillipe gets mentored by Tim how teaches him how to survive. And as he doing so he transforms(Transformation). When he gets slapped by Tim who tells him, he needs to work for in order for both of them to live. He needs to work even if his blind his hands are not.This The initiations summed up.
Next is how the returns come into play by a hurricane coming and Phillipe getting taught by Tim how to survive it. And when it comes Tim gives his life to save Phillipe and dies in the process. Leaving Phillipe on the cay alone and with the knowledge of how to survive on a cay alone.and within this time the creation comes when he is saved and,then brought back to his family and, got his blindness cured. But he gets it now its not looks that make a person its whats inside and he will all ways Carry thats through his life and hopefully everyone.
The conclusion of the story is on how Phillipe had to go through something. To change his view and prospective on others he knows nothing of but their skin color. And taking things for granted like his eye site which learned was big to have an honer to have and privilege. So he learned and I learned a lot about to not judge before you know and be great full for what you got. This how things got changed for him and me in his tale of the cay.
