Page 19: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

“Every challenge or change we face in life is a journey.”

Page 20: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

“Every move to a new school, job, or city opens the chance to stop being

what we were and to start being what we can become.”

Page 21: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

“The journey is a process of self-discovery and self-integration, of

maintaining balance and harmony in our lives.”

Page 22: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

“As with any process of growth and change, a journey can be confusing and painful, but it brings opportunities to develop confidence, perspective and a new way of being in our

world.”

Page 23: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

“Understanding the Journey pattern can help us understand the literature we read, the movies we see, and the experiences

which shape our life.”

Page 24: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

growth and transformation.”

-Apotheosis is the realization that we are now “godlike”

-we experience a REVELATION (dramatic change in the way we think or view life)

-we are not just changed, but we are DIFFERENT

Page 61: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

INITIATION AND TRANSFORMATION

7. The Atonement -We are “AT ONE” with our new self

-We are FULLY reborn

-We have been restored to harmony in our life and in our world until “our next call”

Page 62: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

TRANSFORMATION / APOTHEOSIS:

He is transformed because he conquers the Abyss (he saves Lois Lane using his super powers). This

represents a moment of “death” (disillusioned when Lois Lane dies)

and “rebirth” (he CAN and DOES save Lois Lane). The transformation is

complete.

He experiences the Apotheosis because his super powers have

become LIMITLESS (he saves a life).He becomes “god-like.”

Page 63: Hero’s or Archetypal Journey Key Vocabulary Hero, archetype, tragedy, quest, and the eight-step transformation

REVELATION

He experiences a dramatic change in the way

he thinks or views life.

He father “reveals” to him that he must NEVER use his powers to change the natural course of human life. He DISOBEYS, and he decides to

think for himself.

RESULT: He matures. He becomes DIFFERENT. He becomes a MAN.

ATONEMENT

He knew that what he did went against everything that he had been taught. However, he finds a sense of PEACE or CLOSURE to his decision. With Lois Lane alive, he feels that

HARMONY exists in his life once again.
