Carl’s return was when he left the unknown land of Paradise Falls and flew back to his home town. He learned many things through his journey and had a changed perspective on life when he came back home.

For Carl, the threshold guardians were the Shady Oaks Retirement Home workers. He had his plan for his adventure to Paradise Falls and they were going to ruin it by making him go to a retirement home and never accomplishing his dream. Fortunately, all he needed to do to “defeat” them was let his balloons out and fly away.

The supernatural aid for my hero, Carl Fredricksen from the movie Up, is Russell, the little scout boy that comes to assist him in some way in hopes of earning a badge for his wilderness explorer group. He ends up helping Carl become more motivated to embark on his journey to Paradise Falls simply by being an annoyance that he wishes to escape.

For me, the return was the start of winter break. I had completed my first semester of high school and learned many new skills. I had grown a lot academically and socially at school and got to return back to having no school and having a break like it was during summer before high school.

This relates the the return in a hero’s journey because the return means going back to the known world after a quest and I returned back to home and having a break after going on the quest of the first semester of high school. Usually after returning, the hero has grown in some way and I grew greatly in my academics over the course of my “quest”.

The threshold for me was the first day of high school, when I had gotten out of the car from carpool and took my first step onto the new campus.

The first day of school relates to the threshold in the hero’s journey because the threshold is the crossing to the unknown world and high school was definitely an unknown place for me. When I stepped into the school, it marked my first step into my new adventure.

The threshold guardians in my case weren’t actual people but simply the idea of high school. Although I had some of idea of what high school was going to be like from the “aids” who told me some of what to expect, I was still nervous to go to a new school. After some thinking and time, I became less nervous and more mentally prepared for the adventure ahead.

My threshold guardian of nervousness for high school is similar to the archetype of threshold guardians because it was my first “challenge” of my adventure to high school. Also, the challenge I faced was relatively easy to overcome, just like threshold guardians are easy to defeat.

The threshold guardians are people who are the hero’s first challenge on the start to the quest. These people are quite easily defeated and give the hero confidence for the harder things he will later face on the quest.

The supernatural aids that helped me in my preparation for the quest of high school were older students that I knew that were already in high school.

These people relate to a supernatural aid because they helped me become more prepared for my quest of high school. They helped me know what it was like and how classes worked. With their help, I felt more at ease with the adventure awaiting and I was prepared for what was to come.
