Literary Term Usage
Gangsta’ Paradise – Coolio
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left. Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long that Even my mama thinks my mind is gone.
The allusion here is quite easy to spot: the shadow of death alludes to Psalm 23 or the Psalm traditionally read at funerals.

Commentary:
Tennyson wrote “Crossing the Bar” in 1889, three years before he died. The poem describes his placid and accepting attitude toward death. Although he followed this work with subsequent poems, he requested that “Crossing the Bar” appear as the final poem in all collections of his work.

19. Crossing the Bar By: Alfred Lord Tennyson
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar
Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.

20. Crossing the Bar By: Alfred Lord Tennyson
This poem consists of four quatrain stanzas rhyming ABAB.
Crossing the Bar By: Alfred Lord Tennyson
the hero desires “to sail beyond the sunset”
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar a
Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. b
Personification

25. Myth to Movie: The Character of Hercules
In the Movie...
In the Mythology...
The Movie Deviates Because...
Hercules means well but his clumsiness and tremendous strength causes him to accidently destroy things.
Hercules often lost control of his temper, causing him to accidently kill innocent people.
To the modern audience, a hero with anger management problems is not as endearing a character nor as positive a role model as someone who has good intentions but clumsy tendencies.
Hercules is often socially awkward, shy and lacking in confidence.
Because of his god-like strength, Hercules was supremely confident and even saw himself as equal to the gods.
The awkward and unsure Hercules is a more relatable character for the modern audience, especially for people who, like the Disney Hercules, are trying to find their worth and place in the world.
Hercules is born as a full-blooded god to his loving parents, Zeus and Hera but is turned into a mortal.
Hercules was a demi-god, born of Zeus and a mortal mother. Hera despised him as she did all of Zeus's mortal sons.
The core of the movie's plot is Hercules' endeavors to return to his destined place among the gods. To be born a god, Hercules has to be born of gods. Although it is a huge deviation, the only logical goddess mother for this plot is Hera, the only (remaining) wife of Zeus who is a goddess.

34. The Hero’s Journey Departure
1. The Call to Adventure: The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not. 2. Refusal of the Call: Often when the call is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances.

35. The Hero’s Journey Departure
3. The Beginning of the Adventure/Threshold: This is the point where the person crosses into the field of adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not known.
There is usually a place in between the two worlds called a “threshold”
4. Supernatural Aid/Mentor: the hero will need assistance in his or her journey and the mentor teaches, but more likely, allows the hero to discover that which was inside the hero all along. The mentor normally dies or leaves the hero somewhere along the journey.

44. The Hero’s Journey Departure
1. The Call to Adventure: The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not. 2. Refusal of the Call: Often when the call is given, the future hero refuses to heed it. This may be from a sense of duty or obligation, fear, insecurity, or any of a range of reasons that work to hold the person in his or her current circumstances.

45. The Hero’s Journey Departure
3. The Beginning of the Adventure/Threshold: This is the point where the person crosses into the field of adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not known.
There is usually a place in between the two worlds called a “threshold”
4. Supernatural Aid/Mentor: the hero will need assistance in his or her journey and the mentor teaches, but more likely, allows the hero to discover that which was inside the hero all along. The mentor normally dies or leaves the hero somewhere along the journey.

46. Initiation
5. The Road of Trials: The road of trials is a series of tests, tasks, or ordeals that the person must undergo to begin the transformation. Often the person fails one or more of these tests, which often occur in threes.
6. The Experience with Unconditional Love/Temptress: At this point in the adventure, the person experiences a love that has the power and significance of the all-powerful, all-encompassing, unconditional love. This is a very important step in the process and is often represented by the person finding the other person that he or she loves most completely.

47. Initiation
Alternatively, the hero often meets a temptress, someone or something that tries to induce the hero into abandoning his/her quest.
7. The Ultimate Boon: The ultimate boon is the achievement of the goal of the quest. It is what the person went on the journey to get. All the previous steps serve to prepare and purify the person for this step, since in many myths the boon is something transcendent like the elixir of life itself, or a plant that supplies immortality, or the Holy Grail.

48. Return
8. Refusal of the Return: Oftentimes the hero is reluctant to return home. Things have
changed so much for the hero that home would seem quite different.

49. Return
9. Rescue from Without: Just as the hero may need guides and assistants to set out on the quest, often he or she must have powerful guides and rescuers to bring them back to everyday life, especially if the person has been wounded or weakened by the experience. Or perhaps the person doesn’t realize that it is time to return, that he or she can return, or that others need his or her boon.

50. Return
10. The Crossing or Return Threshold/Master of Two Worlds: The return home. The trick is to retain the wisdom gained on the quest to integrate that wisdom into a human life, and then maybe figure out how to share the wisdom with the rest of the world. This is usually extremely difficult. Heroes often have difficulty resettling in.
