Jesus: The Miracle Hero “He came from heaven to earth to show the way, from the earth to the cross my debt he paid, from the cross to the grave from the grave to the sky lord I lift your name on high” A song by Donnie Mcclurkin sung by Christians today in reference to Jesus Christ. Like a hero Christ went through heroic stages: The call to adventure, The road of trails and The Master of the two Worlds. Joseph Campbell explains that the "first stage of the mythological journey '' is called ''the call to adventure'' (48).

After Luke found out his mothers death, he got on his banjo and sang a song called “The Plastic Jesus.” While Luke prayed at the church, he kept referring to God as the “Old Man.” I think this is parallel to the “OLD TESTAMENT.” Upon returning from one of Luke three escapes, the other men are obsessed with learning about his adventures in the outside world. Luke finally tells them to stop feeding off me, which is an allusion of the
The writer explains how he wanted to see, speak, and feel Jesus come to him, but he never got that feeling from Jesus. Langston Hughes goes on to tell the reader how all the children had gone up to the altar and were saved except for one boy and himself. The older folks continued to pray over the boys.

From the opening pages, McCarthy depicts the love and protection the father has for his son as they continue their impossible journey. McCarthy successfully depicts this relationship’s growth, while writing the same high standards for despair that he is most known for.

In a world that God has abandoned, where the sun no longer shines through the ashes, the hope that the father and his son will survive ultimately gives the reader something to look forward to.
