Wisdom
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a
life," quote Sandra Carey. Knowledge is otained through self-determination and hard work, but
wisdom can only be obtained through experience.
The exact diccionary definition of "wisdom" states, " an accumulated philosophic or scientific
learning." To me widome is the knowledge that one obtains only through experience and time.
The word wisdom is a Middle English and Old English word. Its earliest origions can be found in
the teachings of ancient wise men (of Babylon, Egypt, and Palestine). It was related to as the art
of living and sometimes to phiosophical problems concerning the universe, man, and God.
Lois Lowry, the author of The Giver, demonstrated the word "wisdom" as the accumulation of
memories Jonas obtained from the Giver. She exemplified "wisdom" as the pain and suffering
Jonas underwent through time and experience.
Again, knowledge is obtained through self-determination and hard work, but wisdom can only be
obtained through experience.

hero's journey essay
Out of two movies we watched "Castaway" and "Worlds fastest Indian" and out of the story we read "Beawolf". The one i think was a true hero was Chuck Noland from "Castaway".He truly was a hero. He was flying on a plane going on a business trip and all of a sudden his plane crashes.He wakes up the next morning to notice that he is not on the plane but on an Island of some sort.He wonders of looking for anyone else he was on a plane with only to discover he was by himself.No one to talk to no way of knowing were he is and not being able contact anyone.
He was considerd a hero in my eyes because he never gave up.He didnt give up hope he knew that one day he would be rescued and go back home to his normal life go back to his girlfriend and maybe not think about flying anymore.
Think about it what would you hace done if you were stained on an island i know for one thing i wouldnt have made it four years.Think about the experience he went through he coulndt make a fire he cut his hands several times just to make a fire and out of that fire he made his on friend his volleyball he found with his luggage that he named wilson.Some people thought that he was already crazy because who in there right mind turn a volleyball into his friend.I woyld have done the same thing not because i was crazy but just to have company talk to someone even though you knew you werent going to get any respond from anyone.
He is a hero in my eyes because he managed with what he had from the luggage he found.He was smart enough to make weapons to catch his food.Another thing is am surprised that he lived long enough just living off of fish and acouple of fruits he found.He also made his owm shelter to stay warm and not die from ammonia.To me thast what i consider a hero not someone who thinks he can do it that ppeople would like him or her just because they were strong.A hero is someone hoe will be willing to survive through hard times and help people when he knows he can .thats what i think a hero is.

Chuck Noland is a FedEx guy that delivers packages. I think he complete his journey in the movie. Chuck Noland got separated with the rest of the civilization when the plane crashes in the water he got drifted to an unknown island. he tried getting out of the island but the wave was just to big to go over with his small raft. He tried to explore the island to see if there anyone in the island. He tried to look for food but only found coconuts. Chuck Noland Decided to collect many boxes that he find on the island. Then he decided to open them one by one He found this ball and name it Wilson. Chuck starts talking to Wilson like his a person. When he finally start think hoe to leave the island he started to build a bigger raft that he can go over the big waves. When he was staying in the island for 5 long years he learn how to survive. When he just got to the the island he doesnt know he was doing. But he finally knows how to fish make food for himself and he know how to make fire. When he was done making the big raft then he leave the island.

HERO'S JOURNEY ESSAY
This paper is about Beowulf's Hero's Journey. He did complete a Hero's Journey not once but twice. First when he goes off to fight Grendel then returns. Second is when he goes off again to Herot this time to fight Grendel's mother.
Beowulf's seperation is when he leaves Sweeden. The calling is helping Hrothgar defeat Grendel, then to defeat Grendel's mother. He really doesn't have a threshold since doesn't think wheather he should go or not, he always goes on the journey. His descent is leaping into Grendel's mother's lake. His Journey so far is basically a Hero's journey since it follows all the steps.
Beowulf's initiation is when he starts off for battle. His abyss is going to Herot, Leaping into Grendel's mother's lake, and the dragons cave, because its the unknown. Beowulf didn't really have a real mentor instead he had the sword which he found in Grendel's mother's house, it helped him kill her. His transformation is slaying the dragon and killing Grendel and his mother.

This paper is about a hero's journey. Its about Chuck Noland and how he completed his hero's journy by surviving in an isolated island. Chuck completed his journey when he managed to build a raft and get off the island. It was a tuff journey but he made it through to become a hero.
Chucks seperation is when he takes his fight over seas. the plane crashes and he somehow manages to stay alive. Chucks calling is when he determins either to stay alive or take his own life. Chucks descent is when he decides to use the yellow raft and drift to land. Sofar as we can tell Chuck is going through a hero's journey.
Chucks initiation is when he keeps getting hurt every time he is trying to survive. His abyss is the island because the whole island is unkown to him. Chuck really had no mentor because he was isolated in the island. Chuck did have a friend named Wilson that did keep him company all those lonely days. He also had inspiration to stay alive it was his lockect that his not knowing ex gave him.
Chucks transformation is when he learns how to survive on the island. he learns how to fish and make fire. He also learns how to build a new raft strong and big enough to get him off the island. Sofar chuck is going through a hero's journey because he learns how to fend for himself.

My hero’s journey has started I want to do something for myself and for everybody. This journey is about me because I don’t know any hero’s and the ones in the movies don’t always tell the whole truth. I have not completed my hero’s journey because even though it has started it probably will never end. Because there will always be people that need an inspiration to move them or to touch their hearts so they can do something. I know that I will become champ and I will have everything I dreamed of.
My calling was when my sophomore year ended I had received alot of applications to go to the olympics for boxing. But just like I cannot go to college I can not go to the olympics. It made me feel that I am the best because of all the people in the United States they chose me to represent the United States. Although I cannot go it was an honor to just be asked. I had alot of times to take a job that I would be making good money and I would be safe, but It really wasn't what I want to do for the rest of my life. Now many people think that boxing is a brainless sport but I think it is the artist that makes the art such as Picasso or Hugh Hefnor. I had to decide if I wanted to take a chance to get my brains beat in and probably die in the struggle to become champ. Or should I choose a job that would not make a difference to anybody.I am going to move to alot of places to do my thing like to California and hopefully someday in New York at the Yankee Stadium.
I was in a place that I have been to but not recently. I had people doubting me telling me that I can't do it that not everybody can do it and that I am the person who cant. I was told that by people that didn't like me but being told that by my own friends and family I have never been before. I have more than one person helping me on my way up to the top my dad helps with paying for my equipment my cousins help with cheering me on at every one of my fights. And my mother even though she doesn't like my dream, she helps me by giving me the blessing of god. It would have to be a very great quest and I hopes it turns me into a great man. I really don't want it to turn me into a man like my father.
When I am done with my quest I will die a very happy man because I know that I made a difference in the world. With my success of winning the Light-heavyweight crown and hopefully adding the Heavyweight crown to my collection. I hope to give the kids all around the world hope that no matter who you are and no matter who tells you otherwise that you can do anything you put your mind to. I also want to help some of the homeless people but in a special way if they will ask me for money I will take them to get a haircut and a new suit and start them off with 500 dollars to go get a job and find me in the future and tell me how they did.
I talked about me in this paper because I hope to be an inspiration to all people not to just kids. I think I completed a Hero's Journey but not the Hero's Journey because people will always need a hero and when my time comes I will not be that hero anymore.
