There is always a reason behind every journey; these reasons motivate adventurer to complete their journey. Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey and Salak’s travel memoir The Cruelest Journey, share what drives adventurers to complete their journey.

Similarly, in Salak’s memoir, the explorer is tying to set a new record, while learning something new about herself.…
Amelia Earhart, a famous and talented American aviator, was the first female aviator that successfully flew by herself across the Atlantic Ocean and later attempted, in 1937, to take flight around the world. During that global endeavor, she perished in a plane crash on route to Howland Island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. However, I am not entirely convinced about the conspiracies that arose after the plane crash and alleged death of Amelia. The one that I was not convinced about was that Amelia was a spy for the United States’ Government. Also that during her flight over the Pacific Ocean she was later was shot down by the Japanese and captured because she was trying to gather Intel on their pre-world war plans.…
Every story has to have an element of “The Journey” within it. this is the most important plot pattern archetype in literature. The journey in a novel or story isn’t always an actual movement from one place to another; the journey can be internal (mental/emotional). Often the journey can be represented as either a struggle or a desire to achieve a goal and most stories start off with the main character in search of something.. In the three novels read this summer we see this archetype, both internal and external journeys.…

I think that all of the women in the book deserve a spot because they all did something that changed the world! However, in my opinion, I think that Amelia Earhart should be added to this book because she showed women that they can accomplish their dreams and goals. She kept trying until she finally succeeded in her flights and impressed the world. Another woman that should be added is Michelle Obama because she helped kids get active and she was the first African American first lady. One more woman that should be added is Rosa parks because she was an African American rights supporter.…

In American History I would want to go to year, 1932. There are many influences that enrapture me, among them are; Amelia Earhart, Babe Ruth’s "Called Shot”, and the III Olympic Winter Games.

You may think that a journey is a waste of time, but in reality we take journeys every single day at school or home or even with a team. The journey is taken to complete a quest. I believe out of the two of them that a journey is more important. The journey is traveling from place to place in search of the task at hand. It’s the most important because without the journey there would be no quest and journey is how to become the best person that you can be.…
