Bourne Confusion and Camping Kids

9-19-13
Write about the film you think would be best for the hero’s journey project.
A: I think that a good movie to use for this project would be the movie The Bourne Identity.  I think this would be a good choice because the hero is often unsure that he is the hero, which makes his actions seem even more outstanding. Jason Bourne was a government project gone wrong. He was made to be an assassin, however was knocked out of his “brain-washing” and realized that what he was doing was wrong. He then turned his life around to figure out who he really was and stop this horrible killing spree that the government was on.

Friday free write.
A: As a child, my family loved to camp. Each memorial day we would travel to northern Michigan in our camper with some friends. I loved all of it. The fresh air, the water, the campfires, everything. “Come on!” I yell to my cousin as she gingerly tests the water with the built in thermometer that everyone seems to have in their big toe. “Its too cold!” She replies. Finally her brother comes up behind her and shoves her into the lake. She was too cold to yell at him. At dinner each night we could laugh and joke about the events of the day. We laughed about my mom’s phobia of frogs as we bragged about the size of the frogs we had caught that day.  One Memorial Day, on our way home, something very unexpected happened.
