THIS QUESTION IS FOR 100 POINTS!!!

Write a full-length story (700 word minimum) that resembles a modern epic! Your story must include the following elements that resemble a epic literature:
- Epic hero protagonist with multiple epithets
- Epic settings
- Epic-related plot devices
- Epic themes
- At least two (2) common story archetypes

Answer:

Six Elements Of The Epic:

1) Plot centers around a Hero of Unbelievable Stature. The epic hero completes what everyone only attempts. In ancient epics, the hero often is either partially divine or at least protected by a god or God.

2) Involves deeds of superhuman strength and valor. Accomplish feats no real human could.

3) Vast Setting. The action spans not only geographical but also often cosmological space: across land, sea, into the underworld, or thru space or time etc.

4) Involves supernatural and-or otherworldly forces. Gods, demons, angels, time/space travel, cheating death etc.

5) Sustained elevation of style. Overwritten. Overly formal, highly stylized (poetry, lyricism (singing), exaggeration)

6) Poet remains objective and omniscient. The narrator sees and knows all and presents all perspectives.

Epic Origins: Generally, epics are also mythologized histories.

1) A conglomeration of pre-existing stories and characters.

2) Often of oral origin.

3) At least loosely based around historical or quasi-historical characters or events or characters.

4) Set in a mythologized distant time, traditionally in the past.

Epics As Moral Codes (Or Political Propaganda): The epic nearly always:

1) Represents moral ideals and taboos in the behavior of the hero and antagonist. The hero's behavior and the lessons he learns along the way represent the culture's ideals; what the hero does, all men should strive toward. The Other (monster or antagonist) is shown as essentially/inherently inferior to the hero; the Other represents either those who break moral taboos or the inferiority of Other cultures/peoples/nations etc.

Taken as a whole, we find that moral codes deal with, and all people in all stories are obsessed with:

a) Sex. Who gets to bangeth whom? How are these rules divided/differentiated between the sexes? How are these rules divided/differentiated between social class or birth rank?

b) War and Violence. When are or aren't we justified killing one another?

c) The Distribution of Wealth. How is property treated within the culture and between the culture and the Other?

d) Food and Alcohol. How is the treatment of both ritualized, usually in a religious context, and why? What does this tell us about the origin of religious belief and law?

2) Grants cosmological significance to historical events; root causes are nearly always traced back to the will of the gods or God; the hero's heroism and the triumph of the people is divinely ordained. In this way history itself is given moral significance and the people feel divinely guided toward their fate, especially if not always in relationship to the Other. As a representative of the people, the hero proves the people/tribe/nation's will and actions are uniquely divinely justified. The economic root causes of human relations -- between warring nations, between master and slave, between men and women -- are entirely hidden beneath an exciting, mythological, action adventure pitting good against evil.

Note that this last one is closely tied to the first, especially in terms of sex, war, wealth and, yes, even food (the most basic form of wealth) and booze.

Epics As Cognitive or Spiritual Models of Development

Beginning with Gilgamesh and continuing on thru Achilles, Odysseus, Beowulf and Sir Gawain -- not to mention Spiderman and Batman or Ricky Bobby -- the epic also culminates around the hero's journey of self discovery and emotional/psychological/spiritual maturation.

Again, all epics seem to start with Gilgamesh's journey to involve the hero:

a) Confronting the reality of death and thus realizing heroism is a spiritual or psychological quality, not just a physical one. This often involves a journey beneath the earth, to the underworld, where death itself abides.

b) Learning that love is more valuable than material wealth or life itself.

Answer:

Explanation;

Once upon a time, actually this was near the big apple.

Mitchell O'lean was waiting eagerly to deliever her valentines gifts. She had made 25 big red heart shaped cut outs, with bubble gum taped on the side.

Mitchell O'leans teacher 4th grade teacher, Mrs Porter, had told everyone to bring a valentines gift for everybody in there class, so nobody would be left out, and at noon they would given out by the owners one by one.

Mitchell jumped in her seat as she watched the clock, it seemed as if it was going as slow like a turlte on purpose.

11;45 was read on the clock. And all Mitchell could do was wait until noon.

As Mitchell was snapped into reality when her teacher clapped her hands twice.

"Eyes on me" stated Mrs Porter. "I assume everybody has there valentines gifts?"

The class nodded with giggles around the room, smiles roaming on everybody's faces.

"Good, now everybody make sure you have 26 velentines cards."

The whole class started to count, as the teacher went around the classroom.

Mitchell had a ghostly pale look on her face.

She had forgotten one of her cards.

Mitchell searched desperately to see if she had dropped one in her bag, or accidentally miscounted.

She recounted all the names, there was Sophias, Violet's, Josh's and so many more.

She realised the one she had forgotten, was The teachers.

Mrs porters a teacher, she wouldn't care, right?

No. Mitchell thought. If I was sick would I want people to forget about mine?

Mitchell glanced to the clock. 11;52.

Mitchell raced her hand.

"Yes, Mitchell?" Mrs Porter asked.

"Bathroom please" she replied with a nervous look.

The teacher nodded to the door as mitchell scurried out.

She dashed from the classroom and went to search for the vending machine near the teachers lounge. She once saw Mrs Porter come out with a candy bar in there, she knew that a candy bar would be the best gift.

She finally made it to the door to the teacher lounge, just to find out it was locked.

Mitchell looked around hopelesly, just to see a clock reading 11;57.

The young girl sat near the door, while tears drops ran down her face.

She didn't want to be known as a selfish person, and she most defintaly didn't want Mrs porter to be dissapointed.

As she sat there crying a tall man aproached her.

"Child, why are you on the floor?"

Mitchell looked up to see a janitor with a name tag saying " Joe".

She pointed to the locked door as she explained her story to Mr. Joe.

"Child, you couldv'e just asked me for help, I couldve opended the door."

As he opended the door Mitchells tears dried. She saw a stack of candy bars piled on the table.

She rushed in and got one, as she ran back to her classroom, looking back at a bit confused Joe.

Mitchell made it to her classroom, and saw everybody handing out candys. She rushed to her desk and got hers out.

She started to hand out all the candys, saving Mrs porters for last.

As the young girl placed the last candy on Mrs Porters desk, her smile was big and wide. She knew she had done good. And would be able to enjoy the rest of her treats in piece.
