According to Victor and Edith Turner, a liminoid pilgrimage is a “[rite] of transition marked by three phases: separation, limen or margin, and aggregation” (p. 2). In Stephen Sondheim's Into The Woods, all of the characters go to the woods and take part in those same three phases outlined by the Turners. They learn lessons on their journey and come out as changed people that barely resemble the characters in the traditional stories. In this way, Into The Woods is the musical liminoid pilgrimage of classic storybook characters.

Foremost, I contemplate that Dan is manic most of the time, for the reason that he spends many nights at a gas station with Socrates (who we will get to later) instead of sleeping. Then, he is very distractible when it comes to his school work, but is extremely goal-directed when it comes to gymnastics and in his lessons at the gas station. Secondly, I believe that Dan is delusional, and is fantasizing his relationship with Socrates, who happens to just be an old man who works at a gas station. In addition, I reflect that the visions that Dan describes are hallucinations that he has when sitting in the gas station with the old man who he has feigned a relationship
Grant Ciccarello Summer Reading Growing Up Russell Baker The first thing that I noticed when I started reading the book, “Growing up” by Russell Baker was the style in which baker used throughout this book. Growing up is told in first person as an autobiographical memoir from Russell Baker’s point of view. But something that was very unique was how Baker chose to narrate from his mother 's perspective before he was born and when he was a young boy. In addition, he talks about his mother 's relations with Oluf which he was unaware about at the time.
A little town in the middle of nowhere is often seen as just a small backward little place. It does depend, however, on what such a place offers to those living there. For those who grow up in such a small place the treasures are endless. This is the place where you learn most of life’s lessons, if not all of them. Having grown up in a town that was really a compact city, made the greatest impression on my life.
