This paper is about Burt from the Indian movie. I am writing about the stages Burt had to go through to complete his Hero's Journey. I think Burt did complete his journey. He completed it because he actually made it to America and set a new world record. Also by not listening to the doctor's and taking it easy just because he was sick.

I think Burt's Seperation in his journey was when he left his home in New Zealand to go to America. Burt's Calling in this journey was the time trials in the Bonneville Salt Flats. He wanted to go set a new world record. The Threshold in Burt's jouney was when he decided he was going to stay and race instead of leaving just because he didn't sign up. I think Burt's Descent was when he had to find his way around America and get the hang of the ways things worked there. Like when he was driving on the wrong side of the road.

In Burt's journey his Initiation was when he meets the guy from the army trying to find a ride home. I think he was his Initiation because he told Burt he could do it and helped him get to the Bonneville Salt Flats. I thik Burt's Abyss was America. It was America because he was in a place he had never been before and he didn't know how things worked there. Burt's Mentor was Jim and Tina. Jim helped Burt a lot because he helped him get to race. Tina helped by raising money for Burt because he really needed it. I think Burt's Transformation was when he set the new world record.

Burt's Return in his journey was when he made it back to his home in New Zealand safe and unharmed. Burt's Creation was when he set a new world record and became famous. He also went back nine more times to set even more records.

In this paper I explained how Burt completed his Hero's Journey to create a better world for himself. Burt did complete his Hero's Journey because he went all the way to America from New Zealand to set a new world record. He also didn't listen to anyone who said he would never make it. I think Burt did a good thing by not listening to what other people had to say and just going out to set his goal.
