modes paragraphs

My project is about ancient Greek and roman culture and war. In relation to this

subject I picked a film, fictional book, song, and a piece of artwork. The film that I chose

to relay this topic was “Gladiator”, a film by Ridley Scott. This heroic film is about a

warrior whose family is killed by the roman emperor. He is arrested and subjected to the

lifestyle of becoming a roman gladiator, fighting for his life. I believe that this film

displays a reality that happened back in that time period. And a good source of close to

truth as possible, my next choice was the movie “300” but that was about Spartans not

Romans or Greeks.

The book that I chose was “The Diary of Cleopatra”, this book also deals with the

Romans. For example Marc Antony, and Caesar, in the book Cleopatra goes to Rome to

ask for help from the emperor forming a love triangle between the emperor and the

fighter Marc Antony. When she finally goes back to her beloved Egypt the Romans

invade Alexandria and kill her sister, restoring Cleopatra back to the thrown. Although

this book did not have Greeks in it, the Romans did a great job of fighting in it.

Next is the song I chose to represent the culture and war. The song I chose was

“fighter” by Christina Aguilera. This song is such a great representation on never backing

down and fighting to get what you want out of life and other people. She sings about the

difficulties she had to go through to become stronger and get through the hard times and

making others the victims.

As for my artwork, I chose the model of Greek Bireme of the Trojan War 1250

B.C . It shows the advances in technology in the structure of the ship. The thought

process it must have taken to realize that all the ores must row at the same pace or rhythm

or the rowing is screwed up and could quiet possibly die.

vogler 1 ...where do my blogs keep disappearing to???

Vogler, Christopher. “The Hero”, “The Archetypes”, and “The Mentor.” The Writer’s Journey.Saline, Michigan: Mcnaught & Gunn 2007 23-47

As Vogler states on page twenty-four “The concept of archetypes is an indispensible tool for understanding the purpose or function of a character in a story”. In saying this, Vogler is explaining archetypes and what they do for the story. Also Vogler is exploring as he was writing a story that his characters were not staying as normal characters but really changing. For example, a mentor would not always stay a mentor but change maybe into a shadow. Archetypes are classified as “personified symbols of various human qualities”. The next chapter that Vogler talks about Heroes. The Greek definition of a hero is to protect and to serve. In this chapter, Vogler outlines what is needed to be a hero, growth, action, sacrifice, dealing with death, and flaws in the character; Also giving anti-heroes, loner heroes, and catalyst heroes a shed of light. An anti-hero is a character going against the grain, not nessicarily a bad guy but deffinitly not a good guy. Loner heroes are those few that like to complete tasks on their own, without the help of others or side kicks. And lastly catalyst heroes are not normal heroes; normal heroes change themselves whereas catalyst heroes bring about changes in others.


In response to these chapters, Vogler has made a great explanation of what kinds of heroes there are and where the word came from. Also that even if a character is supposed to be solid and not change, the character will change nonetheless.


What other types of heroes do you think there are; if any?

Can these methods be put to the test in movies?

Which hero do you think most represents the heroes in the world?
