My CWP uses elements of American romance by having the main character, Drew, go on a journey through nature. All he uses is his intuition and he finds himself in the wilderness. The theme of this story is that destiny will find you wherever you are. The tone is… It started out like any other day. He woke up once again in the same house, in the same city. The difference in this city was that you never knew when your last day would be. Today he woke up knowing he would make a difference. He got out of bed and grabbed his backpack. He looked at his family one last time, because he knew it would be the last. He walked silently to the door and left. It was then that his adventure began. For days he traveled around the country looking for something. Trying to discover what his calling was, in nature, he asked himself. Because he had dreamed of this moment. The moment he would find himself again. The moment he would save everyone. He just had to look for it. Once found, life, as he knew, would change forever. All he had was food and insight. This was all he needed, this guided him on his journey through nature to wherever his destiny lay. His journey to find himself and save the world. All he had to do was look hard enough, because what he was looking for was always right under his nose. The first place his journey took him was about thirty miles north of his home town. He entered a tavern and the doors slammed behind him. He slowly stopped when a large hand grabbed his shoulder. A deep voice echoes from behind: “You're not from around here, are you?” “No, I'm not. My name is Drew. I live about thirty miles south of here. I...” “We don't really care, boy,” said the deep voice as ...... middle of paper ......and to be brave in the face of danger. His world slowly began to change as he realized what he had been missing. He grabbed his things and ran to Anne, who was a few miles away. “Anne,” he shouted, “I know what you're missing.” He grabbed her arm. “You need happiness and love from your family. You have to be brave in the face of danger” “I can't be loved, my family is dead, I can't be happy because there's nothing to be happy about, and I can't be brave because there's always something to be afraid of,” Anne said as she continued walking. “All you need is me,” Drew said grabbing her arm, “All you need is me.” Then they continued their journey so Anne could find herself being able to know her purpose. They traveled for years in search of something Only to find that what was missing in her life was someone to love her.
