The Innocent Adventure
<view this essay>.... situation. There are six parts that make up the cycle: the call to adventure, the threshold crossing, the road of trials, the supreme test, a flight or a flea, and finally a return. There are more parts, but they do not necessarily fall into the same order; examples of these are symbolic death and motifs. The Cosmogonic Cycle is an interesting way to interpret literature because it is Universal and it correlates with any time period and any situation.

This gives us a clear picture of the setting. Additionally, the sentence "He went out fast over the gleaming sand, over a middle region where rocks lay like discolored monsters under the surface, and then he was in the real sea - a warm sea where irregular cold currents from the deep water shocked his limbs" clearly describes the beach where the boy is swimming and how it is seen by him.

Christian Elements In Beowulf
<view this essay>.... the legendary hero and king, Beowulf.
