Homer's Hymn to Demeter is a prime example of the Monomythic Cycle. The hero is Demeter who, as a mother, is undertaking a journey of accepting that her daughter is growing up and in the search for her daughter she is able to re-find herself and bring back fertility and abundance to all of society. All heroes start at home, their place of comfort. Demeter's home is the plain of Nyssa, where Persephone and all the daughters of Oceanus frolic in the flowers. Demeter herself starts in Olympus but figuratively her home is with her daughter or, more specifically, when her daughter is dependent on her.
The fact that most fail to realize, as pointed by the author, is that these two mothers want the same things: they both want the best future for their daughters, and both mothers are willing to do anything to ensure that it happens. It is, however, Cinderella’s mother who surpasses and comes in first place. Panttaja believes Cinderella succeeds in winning the prince’s hand at the ball not because of the goodness of her character, but because she was able to stay loyal to her mother. By doing this her mother rewards her by giving her the most beautiful appearance in the entire kingdom. Cinderella succeeds through her mother’s magic, deceit, lies, and disguises.
“She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was a marriage!”(10). This quote signifies Janie’s awakening as a spiritual and sexual being. Janie uses this scene that she witnessed at the age of sixteen to explain to herself what a marriage is. To Janie a marriage is about a mutual and reciprocal fulfillment that should be filled with love.
Mulan is an outcast in a society that values feminine beauty, which is shown when her father Fa Zhou says, “I know my place. It is time you learned yours” and when he prays to “help Mulan impress the matchmaker today.” (Mulan). Mulan is a story of a young Chinese girl who tries to find herself and goes on an adventure to bring honor to her family. Mulan is an example of a monomyth because it contains a Departure, Initiation, and a Return, archetypes, and the universal theme of growing up. The Departure begins with the “call to adventure.” According to Campbell, “the adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken or who feels there’s something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members in society.
This shows that the girl’s depressed and miserable state of mind has finally been lifted and she is finally able to see the bright side of life as she completes her inner and imaginative journey. Shaun Tan’s text “The Red Tree” clearly shows that journeys can be bring about hope, renewal and inspiration. The girl has experienced a journey that allowed her to achieve self-discovery in her life becoming renewed with passion and inspiration which is shown through the use of visual images and short narrating text. Hence, the underlying message is that although the journey of gaining a new sense of self may seem overwhelming, we should not abandon ourselves as there is always a glimmer of hope that will lead to
Sometimes, we can smell a fall fire in the air as we approach our destination. For these reasons I’ve stated, not only do we get to enjoy our friends and family along the way, but we can embrace all that is fall on our walk to Whitey’s. The relationship between taste and emotion is clear; Whitey’s pumpkin flavored ice cream is probably the best ice cream in the QCA. I understand that some may not like the flavor of pumpkin but, if given a try you may just be converted like me. This ice cream is so good that Whitey’s has it’s own website, you can view the menu and order ice cream online from anywhere in the
The insertion of Gemma’s version of Briar Rose throughout “home” emphasise that this story was of great significance to her life. The dialogue in which Gemma tells the story is constantly interrupted as the girls attempt to help her tell the tale. “Which is all times”. This reveals their familiarity with the story, and their love if it. It has bonded them, as Becca proves when she kisses Gemma as the Prince kissed the princess in the tale.
Life as Plastic Both today and yesterday's society have created a mold that young women are expected to fit in to. Tall, tan and slender girls are often looked at as the beautiful members of society. The positive and wonderful qualities of both women and men are often overlooked because of physical appearance and image. Marge Piercy accurately portrays the unreachable standards placed on women to be beautiful from adolescence into adulthood by her use of fluctuating tone and effective symbolism in her poem “Barbie Doll”. The poem follows a young girl from her childhood to her adulthood in a third person omniscent point of view.
