Fantastic voyage - flower research

Here I have looked into different types of flowers bees pollinate and the different features that are common among them.


I found that:
  • The flowers are brightly coloured in order to attract the bees
  • The centre of the flower is visible making it easy for the bees to reach its centre and collect the pollen from the flower's anther's (male reproductive organ)
  • A lot of the flowers grow in groups or are surrounded by other flowers of the same type
  • A lot of the flowers have leaves surrounding them

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
