Whale Song Lyrics
Whale Song lyrics
The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts.
Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea.
Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that.
A whale's heart is as big as a car. A whaler's thought must be smudged by the dark.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or too proud.
They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing.
Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money.
I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.
They won't fight back.
It's only a thought that makes it seem right. What you don't see is because of your sight.
Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man.
Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts.
If I was lost at sea. That harpoon boat in front of me. It's the whale I'd like to be.
They won't fight back. [x5]
They don't know how.
They won't fight back. [x3]

Summary: In this section of Vogler, he touches one how powerful words are. They can bring us happiness or sadness and change our lives forever.Also in this section he describes the story of Rumpelstiltskin and how the girl's tears acted as a wish that brought the little man to her. In this part of the book, Vogler also talks about the importance of wishing as with the girls tears and Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz wants to be someplace where she has not a care in the world.
Reflection: I agree that wishing can be very important to a story line and how emotions can even act as nonverbal wishes. I also relize the saying sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me is false. Words can hurt. and they can change your life in an instant.

Vogler, Christopher. The Writers Journey. 3rd edition. Studio City: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007
Summary: In this section of the book Vogler shows how the hero's journey relates to different movies and how they fit in. One movie he uses is Titanic. He shows how the movie titanic has two hero's journeys going on at the same time and how important the two journeys are important and how the stories effect the audience. Vogler also puts the other characters into there spots as far as the journey is consider. Jack is considered a hero a catalyst because he basically remains unchanged throughout the entire story but he does help others change. Rose is considered the damsel in distress and is compared to sleeping beauty and snow white, but throughout the movie she changes. Another movie that is used to show the way the hero's journey fits in is the Lion King. Vogler shows how the lion King had some plots taken from Hamlet. He also takes about how Mufasa's death is very similar to the way scar died which I found interesting. This section shows how specific characters have certain roles. For example Rafiki being the mentor and the trickster. Vogler also discusses how Simba the cute young lion cub has many mentors such as his father Zazu, Rafiki, and Timon and Pumba.
Reaction: I really found it interesting to see how the movie Titanic had two hero's journeys going on at the same time. In most movies I notice that there are to small plots going on at the same time but the eventually get intertwined. I never knew how the movie the Lion King had so many different mentors and how they each effected the adorable lion Simba.
Questions
What other movies if any have 2 hero's journeys going on at the same time. Does this help make the movie Titanic more interesting and captivating?
Could Nala be considered a mentor?
Do other Disney movies fallow the heroes journeys? How does the movie Beauty and The Beast do it, the little mermaid and snow white.

Vogler, Christopher. The Writers Journey. 3rd edition. Studio City: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007
summary: In this section Vogler discusses the ressuration and the return with the exlier which are 2 very important parts of the story. the resurrection is the part in the story which the character must be reborn once more because that is what the audience wants. This section is also needed to show not only the hero learned a lesson but that he has retained the information.This section is also the climax of the story. In the section about the return with the elixer describes how the hero returns with something from the special world. Vogler also describes that there should be a certain amount of surprise witht the return with the elixer. He says that there should be some twist to it.
Reflection: I agree that the character must be tested once more after they have been initail taught the lesson. Just like when he describes the college student with the midterms and finals. The hero must be tested so they the audience knows that the hero has absolutely gaineds some knowledge that they will be taking with them.
Questions
What are some examples of elixers? How does what they are influence there importance?
What are some movies and books that have a twist in the return with the elixer?
