For my midterm paper, I’ve been juggling with the idea of writing about my long journey through cancer. It was like my own monomythic journey, it had all of the parts, some may not have been what they seemed either. Like my straying from the path was almost deciding not to continue chemo. Most of the things may have been little, but in the end, it was a terrible, long journey that I hope I never have to go through again. (and I hope no one else has to go through it ever either.)
I want to write about this because it does apply to our course – the monomyth. And I’ve never really talked about it in much depth before. I know it’s going to be a hard paper to write, but in the end I know it’s going to be a good piece. My main sources will be Heroes of History (the monomyth on the website) for each steps of my journey, my friends that went through it with me (i’m still good friends with most of them to this day), my family, and my inner most self (you know, the part you like seal away after something bad happens? yeah, that person’s gonna have to come out for this paper).

I think it would be a pretty good paper to write. and your sources that you use would be really good because you can easily relate the heros journey to your cancer.
