This weeks reading of volger had two sections that furthered the journey of a hero. The first section was called Approach to The Inmost Cave. This section basically explained a hero after making their adjustment to the special world. When the hero approaches the inmost cave they approach something that They are not familiar with. They approach wonder and terror as they are about to fall into the supreme ordeal. This runs right into the next chapter which is The Ordeal. This is when The Hero runs into his worse fear or enemy. this is where they must face the real monster!
These to chapters wwere very similar to my life. I reacted to these as if this was the story of my life. As i played basketball i approached my inmost cave when i started to become good. I became good and got used to being good which was the special world. As i did this i started to approach the inmost cave of high level compettition. This was hard because i was not used to that talent yet although i was good. Next i went through and Ordeal in my life. i had to face the SAT which was very difficult. I hated standardized tests and it was the monster of my life. I still conquered it though so i was happy.
Last but not least these to chapters can be relfected to school life at eckerd. Its pretty easy when you think about it. In class my inmost cave was when i came to school and actually took my first test. i got used to doing reading in class for the first weeks then that inmost cave of a test came. it hit pretty hard. The ordeal in class was actually writing essays. Those essays can take days of slaving over. and i think that is really scary
1.What is your inmost cave?
2.What is your Ordeal?
3.What movie can you find both of these situations in?
