Am I a hero?

If we follow Campbell's way of  analizing a  texts, it becomes easier to  do it, but if we had  to analyse it with my life,  I would die, because there are many experiences and characters, that might  appeared  just once, but they   have an important role in my life; in this case,  the Hero's Journey would  be like this:

Hero: Ana Paula Mejia
I'm the hero, not  just because it is my story, but  the sotry and the one who decides to do anything is me, and the people  that I'll  talk about, take a big part  in my story,  but  they do not   make it flow and decide what will happen next, except from me.

Mentor:  My family, Teacher carlos
My  family and Techar Carlos  are my menthors  because they taught me many things, and they  brought me to the adventure  of my life.

Threshold Guardian:  my teachers and me
My Teacher  along my  story are my teachers and  me because  they used to keep knowledge   to themselves, and I  had to  took for It with my grades and perceverance; nowadays they also do it, but  knowledge and what to think about is  an important part    that will   open the doors of my future.

Herald: my mom,  and  teacher carlos
My mom and Teacher Carlos are my heralds  because  they  told me important things in my life,  knowldge,  experiences, and  important moments that make me who I am.

Shapechifter: some of my friends
Some of my friend could be considered Shapechifters because they  helped me in many of the moments in my life, they guide me, they could have had a big influence in my life  and on the decisions that I could  have  taken  though this

shadow: some of my "friends"
Some of what I used to consider "friends"  are my shadows, because they  used to tell me that we were  great friends and everything, but the trith was other, and they  taught me  many things, that I am proud to know nowadays.

Trickter: him
He is my Trickser,  I do not write a name, because I've  been in love  with 2 or 3 guys that  might  loved me back,  but that is not the point, but they move my world  all the way around, so the  life that I commonly have is completely different,and this  make a bigger difference in the decisions that I could have done while I was in love.

We are broken

Las week we had to write a short story based in a song, well in classical music, and most of us wrote very good stories, I can't deny it, but we wrote things that we might never say, because it is strange that teens like us  feel depressed, up to a level that we think  about suicide or death, on the other hand we seem like the tipical teenagers that think about love and the story that you might and want to live, but it is still a dream, in which we can't say anything or do anything to live it, because we might think that it is impossible, and that we are useless.

 In first place, my story was  good,  and I really felt that I was in the story, but I felt  wrong and bad while I was writing it, because  as I was writing it, I  felt shivers down my spine, my tears falling down, stress, and many other feelings that  the reader can feel. At the same time I felt that my story was already told in many other ways, because it was press inks, but I felt good writing it, it changed my point if view in myself and what do I really want for my future.

 Secondly,  the way in which my group act with the story ended up with very good ones, but as I said, these are wrong, talk about depressive thing, bad guys, etc that really need to change, because  many of these are truth, and as it is said, the stories that you create, belong to your subconscious and there, the stories and your biggest dreams  change a lot.

 In conclusion, the things that we wrote are very good, but they show a face that people doesn't see in us, because those are kind of our dreams, and deepest secrets that we  notice or express in the worst moments, but we should smile  in the others.

Faust, Mephistopheles & Margaret.

As far as I've read,  the story  has  developed  in three charaters, Faust, the main one, Mephistopheles,   the devil, and Margaret, who is a girl that Faust  falls in love with, and these characters are the most important because the whole story develops among them. If we had to describe them  in 3 words  the answer will be:

-Faust is the arrogant, never satisfied and pedofile,  because  he   is somebody that   knows a lot and   even thought that  he wants  more and more, he is never satisfied,  and at some point, he compares himself   to God, and in his trip to know   everything, he looks forward to know  what is passion  no matter what and Mephistopheles   helps him to   make this dream come true,  and  he fells in love with a girl around 13 years old.

-Mephistopheles is   the  fake, intelligent and  bad  guy from the story,  because  he is the Devil, and  he leads the whole story with his  pranks and  intelligence, so that each character  does what he wants,  even thought that Faust, in this case,  tried to fool him, but nobody fools the Devil, and he starts a  plan where Faust is the main piece, so that he wins a bet.

-Margaret is  a polite, unware and sweet girl  that takes care of her whole house, who is responsible and  that always goes to church, she gets scared of anything  and she might  be afraid  to get in love, but  she found Faust, that  treats her like a princess, and   they  start an affair,   so that at the end  she kills  her son and she  ends in jail.

If I had to  compare myself to  one of the chacracters it would not  be just one, but the combination on two, Mephistopheles and Margaret,  because she is a sweet and polite girl that would  do anything for   the  one  she  loves and  I really would do that,  but on the other hand, I would not  let anydoby to  treat me  bad, so I need to  ve   kind of fake and intelligent  so that anybody fools  on me.
