the Hero's Journey

Submitted by Jeff Beckford (not verified) on February 25, 2008 - 15:20.

I am too am in college wnating to become a teacher. I don't have any special reason why except for maybe a love of literature. I guess the one reason I can think of is I have enjoyed many of the books I've read and want to see others appreciating that same literature. Not only do I want others to enjoy and appreciate the literature, without knowledge they can not continue the arts of poetry and storytelling. So I'm probably less of a hero to the students and more of a hero to literature in general. All this talk about helping others is, in my opinion, a little bit trite- it should be an unspoken rule for anyone in any given society. I think this way because the things we do in public and private should somehow benifit others- why else are we here?
