The Adolescent's Journey Many of the stories that have been told for centuries or created recently incorporate the story of an innocent young character who goes on a journey and becomes a hero, known as The Journey of the Hero; a series of steps that all heroes follow. This journey not only shows the main character becoming a hero, but also shows that the hero moves along a path similar to that of adolescence, the path between childhood and maturity. The Hero's Journey was created by a man named Joseph Campbell. He wrote a book called The Hero with a Thousand Faces, a novel containing a variety of stories that follow the stages of the hero's journey. A famous creation that follows The Hero's Journey is the science fiction film trilogy: Star Wars, created by George Lucas. Lucas depicts the struggles that take place along the path of adolescence through the story of a protagonist Luke Skywalker, who strives to become a Jedi Knight to prove that Campbell's Hero's Journey reflects the struggles that young people face, regardless of whether they are represented in a story or not. .There comes a time in every young man or woman's life when they begin to build and find their own identity. Adolescence involves the search for one's identity because young people really don't have the slightest idea of ​​who they want to become as adults. This is reflected in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey in the first phase of The Ordinary World. The ordinary world is where the story begins in The Hero's Journey; it is where the hero lives his daily life. In this world the hero is trying to figure out who they are and what they want to become. George Lucas' first film in the Star Wars trilogy is A New Hope. In this film the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is introduced... middle of paper......if strength (mind control) and has a sense of confidence and pride in being a Jedi Knight. After completing adolescence, young adults have matured and can feel confident in being an adult, just as Luke can now that he is a Jedi Knight. Director Irvin Kershner. Perf.
