Hero Archetype 

Separation

 

  • English Shore
  • The boys that are diving off the rocks
  • Even after they leave, he still goes back and dives alone; obviously dangerous
  • After his mother begins to worry about him, he goes back to the beach without supervision
  • Mother is a kind of mentor; warns him from doing breathing training

 

Transformation

 

  • Does an almost daily breathing training at the beach
  • Mother doesn’t like what he is doing
  • The “item” that he received to help him was goggles
  • Becomes very confident in his abilities
  • Is ready to complete his goal

 

Return

 

  • Mother doesn’t want him to swim through the tunnel
  • He does anyway and at great risk
  • Accomplishes it
  • Decides to stop after finishing for the day
