The Heroes Journey, identified by American scholar Joseph Campbell, is a pattern of narrative that describes the typical adventure of the main hero, whether that be a fiction or nonfiction hero.

Consequently, this theory is also applied to the fictional hero Odysseus in The Odyssey and the real-life hero Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights activist. In The Odyssey, Odysseus embarks on a 10-year voyage from Troy to Ithaca and encounters many monsters along the way including a gigantic Cyclops described as “…a brute so huge, he seemed no man at all…” (9 89-90).

The children were not giving the same amount of clothing that the adults were given, so most of the time they were living bare until they received their next allowance. We were treated like pigs, When it was time for us to be fed, our food was placed in a large tray and when it was time to eat, they called us and whoever got there first received the most to eat. Everyone got the chance to get some food, but the last ones to eat were left hungry.
