The Unforeseen Journey of a Karate Master Joseph Campbell, an american mythologist, discovered the many common patterns that ran through the hero’s myths and stories around the world. The many years that Joseph Campbell had researched this topic, he noticed that most and almost every hero's story contained a common pattern , even in diverse cultures. A story that showed this pattern was the movie The Karate Kid. The movie The Karate Kid cataloged the journey of Shao Dre who is learning the basics of karate as well as gaining the dignity that karate embraces. Dre picks up this through the training of his instructor, Mr Han, who taught him the exceptional uses of karate as well as the damages it result in. As the movie progresses, Dre passes through many tests that changes his physically as well as mentally. The Karate Kid embraces the ideas/stages of the hero’s journey from “the ordinary world,” to the “mentor”, to the “test and ordeals”, and to the “supreme ordeal.” Dre, who was at home in the city of Detroit, was forced into the “Ordinary World” of China. In Dre’s journey, Dre and his mother found themselves in a new world. They experienced a completely diverse lifestyle. Dre, who disliked the change, slowly managed to conform(reborn) to the new lifestyle in modern day China; experienced the “birth of extraordinary (hero) in ordinary world.” From moving to China, and then slowly conforming from his old lifestyle into the new, Dre was reborn into the world of China.

Student strategy: Student A starts by drawing 11 circles, which is what I saw. When asked to explain what he did, he said that he first drew 2 circles and then 9 more. He then added them together by counting them all to get 11 pennies, which is the answer. When solving the problem, he adds them by counting from 1 to 11, and he seems to have drawn 2 circles and then 9 more, following the time sequence. However, I never saw him count 2, 9, and then all of them, I only saw him count 1 to 11.…

Instead, we drive to work 1-2 hours away, to wait for shifts of up to 14 hours overnight. This takes us away from our families and homes, and as a result sometimes extending the 14 hour shift to a “back-to-back” shift lasting up to 38 hours. More often than not, these shifts are accepted in hopes of increasing our chances of making a living. Sometimes this practice causes the an ambulance to go down due to paramedic fatigue, and one less resource is able to respond to your emergency as a…
