Most people familiar with this story structure perceive it as the Quest Theory. That is, they can see how it can be a template for stories such as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Jason and the Argonauts and so forth, but they resist the idea that it explains or is the core behind other stories such as Million Dollar Baby (Academy Award Winner Best Film 2004).
In fact, if you deconstruct the Academy Award Winners (Best Films) of the last few decades, you quickly realise that they are all based around the Heros Journey template. That there is, in fact, only one story.
The following is a basic deconstruction of Million Dollar Baby (Academy Award Winner Best Film 2004):
Call to Adventure where the hero is pushed to resolve a challenge. Maggie needs to escape her White Trash roots and Frankie needs to resolve issues concerning his daughter.
Refusal of the Call where there is refusal, resistance, warning and foreboding. Frankie refuses to train Maggie.
The Supernatural Aid where a mentor encourages the hero along the path. Eddie (Morgan Freeman) begins to help Maggie with her training and simultaneously guides Frankie towards her. As is usual, the supernatural aid has a challenge of his own (Danger Barch).
First Threshold where a point of no return is crossed. Maggie persists in the gym. There is no dissuading her or going back for her.
Physical Separation (Belly of the Whale) where the hero physically separates from his Old World and heads into the Transformation. Willie leaves Frankie, who has little else to do but train Maggie.
Transformation (Road of Trials) where the hero significantly, but not completely, transforms. Maggie becomes a professional boxer.
The Ideal and the Seizing of the Sword where the hero faces a difficult choice and journey to (often) the heart of the antagonism. Maggie buys her family a house and Frank takes on the role of father.
Rebirth Through Death where the Hero is reborn. Eddie saves Danger Barch from the gym bully; Maggie doesn't know what to do about the bear.
Atonement with the Father where the hero confronts the obstacle to the apotheosis. Maggie loses to the blue Bear.
Apotheosis where the hero has the illumination. Maggie should have listened to Frank and protected herself.

Travel insurance is often an after thought when booking a trip but can be a life saver if things go wrong, especially if you're half way around the world when it does.At the very least a good travel insurance policy buys you a little extra peace of mind. But is it a false sense of security? With travel insurance companies estimating that up to 10% of claims are fraudulent, how can you ensure that any legitimate claim you make is taken seriously and paid out in full?TIP 1.
