Ethos – Newsboys “Colored People
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldnt help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
Weve gotta come together
And thank the maker of us all
(chorus)
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted place
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
Weve got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a holy grace
[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]
A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an artists heart
By gods design, we are a skin kaleidoscope
Weve gotta come together,
Arent we all human after all?
(repeat chorus)
Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the lords
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure
[1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4]
Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy
(repeat chorus)
Were colored people, and they call us the human race
[oh, colored people]
Were colored people, and we all gotta share this space
[yeah weve got to come together somehow]
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted world
[red and yellow, black and white]
Were colored people, every man, woman, boy
Pathos
Don’t let these homeless animals die
Ready set don’t go
[Billy]: Shes gotta do what shes gotta do
And I've got to like it or not
Shes got dreams to big for this town
And she needs to give them a shot
Wherever they are
[Miley]: Looks like Im all ready to leave
With nothing left to pack
[Billy]: Aint no room for me in that car
Even if she asks me to tag along
(God I gotta be strong)
[Miley]: Im at the startin line
Of the rest of my life
As ready as I’ve ever been
Got the hunger and stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
[Billy]: Shes waitin on my blessings
Before she hits that open road
Baby get ready get set don’t go
[Miley]: Looks like things are fallin in place
[Billy]: Feels like there fallin apart
I painted this big old smile on my face
To hide my broken heart, if only she knew
[Miley]: This is where you don’t say what u want so bad to say
[Billy]: This is where I want to but I wont get in the way
Of her in her dreams and spreading her wings
*Miley is the the backgrounds singing "im ready to fly"
[Miley]: Im at the startin line
Of the rest of my life
As ready as I’ve ever been
Got the hunger and stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win
[Billy]: Shes waitin on my blessings
Before she hits that open road
Baby get ready get set (don’t go)
[Miley]: Im at the startin line

Verse 1
A lonely mother gazing out of the window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter Listen to me
Chorus
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that ypu're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Verse 2
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is baby it's good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Ya'll dont'hear me
Chorus
Rap
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come
Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldem praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to a new
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for shootin'caine into you're own vein
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
Chorus
Reasoning- you do bad things, there are consequences
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldnt help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin
Weve gotta come together
And thank the maker of us all
(chorus)
Were colored people, and we live in a tainted place
Were colored people, and they call us the human race

Vogler, Christopher. “The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers." Studio City, CA: Michael Wiese Productions, 1998 p. 83-105
Summary
Pages 83-105 are about stage one of the Ordinary World. Before a story begins, the writer needs to think of a creative way to attract the leader. It also talks about the title of the story, which is very important. “The metaphoric title and imagery allow many interpretations and help to make the story a coherent design.” (P. 85) The opening image is also important because it can be a “powerful tool to create mood and suggest where the story will go.” (P. 85) The prologue gives the reader a backstory. It is a good idea for the Ordinary World to be very different from the special world so that the reader will experience a dramatic change when the threshold is crossed. When the author introduces the hero, they need to make him/her relatable, and should create an identification between the audience and the hero. (P. 90) Stage two talks more about the Call to Adventure. The Call to Adventure gets the story rolling, because the main character is finally introduced. The call may be a message from the unconscious, or come in the form of dreams, fantasies, or visions. Sometimes the Call to Adventure comes to the hero in the form of temptation. The Herald usually delivers the message to the character. Sometimes the hero has difficulty with distinguishing whether or not the Herald is its ally or enemy.
Reflection
This reading was helpful in better understanding the Ordinary World and the Call to Adventure. Vogler goes into more depth about the importance of the Ordinary World, and how the writer should pay close attention to the way it starts a story. The Call to Adventure is important because it’s the first time we really see the main character. You get to see the way he handles the Herald and the way he receives his Call to Adventure.
Questions
1) What does the way the hero receives his/her call to adventure say about the hero?
2) Why is it important for the writer to capture his/her audience in the beginning?
3) What’s more important- the title, the opening imagery, or the prologue? Why?

Annotated Bibliography
Vogler, Christopher. “The Writer’s Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers." Studio City, CA: Michael Wiese Productions, 1998 p. 49-80
Summary:
This reading was about the Threshold Guardian, the Herald, the Shapeshifter, the Shadow, the ally and the trickster. There is usually a guardian at the threshold that the hero encounters. If the guardian doesn't believe the person should be let in, then he most likely won't be let in. The hero will be better off if he learns to understand the threshold guardian so that he/she can learn how to handle them. (Vogler, pg. 49) Another archetype is the Herald, who is usually there to present the hero with a challenge. They also can announce a significant change that is about to take place. (pg. 55) Another archetype, whose nature is shifty and unstable is the shapeshifter. Shapeshifters change appearance or mood, and are difficult for the hero and the audience to figure out. (Vogler, pg. 59) Often the hero is mislead or kept guessing by the shapeshifter. (pg. 59) The Shadow is another archetype. The Shadow represents the energy of the dark side (pg. 65) Symbolically, shadows can be all the deep, dark things we secretly don't like about ourselves. (pg. 65) Usually a hero will want someone to walk with them on their journey to help them, and this is the ally. The functions they serve are companion, sparring partner, conscience, or comic relief. (pg. 71) An important part of the plot is the hero's emotions, and the ally can help bring out these emotions. Lastly, the trickster is very popular in folklore and fairy tales (pg. 77) The psychological functions they serve are that they cut big egos down to size, and bring heroes and audiences down to earth. By provoking healthy laughter they help us realize our common bonds, and they point out folly and hypocrisy. (pg. 77)
Reflection
In my opinion, the most interesting archetype is the shapeshifter. Whenever I think about shapeshifters, I think about my favorite show Roswell. You never knew if the shapeshifter was bad or good, and they were always keeping you on the edge of your seat. That is probably what I remember most about hero stories. I think the ally is also really important because it's essential to know how the hero is feeling emotionally. I also think it's really interesting to see how the hero deals with the challenges he's faced with when he comes into contact with the Threshold Guardian. That really shows a lot about the character.
Questions
1) A lot of these archetypes are essential for a good heroic story. Which ones could be left out?
2) What are some examples of Heralds that you can think of from movies/books/history you have heard about?
3) Why is it important to have a trickster in the story that brings out folly and hypocrisy?

which disney character am I most like?
I think the Disney Character I am most like is Piglet. Piglet is always helpful and non-confrontational (which is totally me.) It's really hard for me to say no to people. Piglet's nice to everybody and befriends a lot of people. Tigger has a lot of energy, which I have as well, but he's too into himself and egotistical (which I hope I'm not like).. I am also like Tigger because Tigger is very outgoing and always laughing.
I would say I am like Tigger in some ways and like Piglet in other ways. Piglet seems shy and scared of a lot of things, which is the way I am sometimes, and I don't usually voice my opinion unless I really feel the need to. I am always looking out for people's feelings with what I say and the way I act, because I feel like I am an example for younger kids I know. However, I am not shy when I'm around people, I am actually usually very hyper. Although I like to be around people, I need a lot of time to myself to just chill and relax and be away from everybody. I'm very independent.
