Treatment for Danny Boy

"I love you my little Danny Boy"



Beinning: A young teacher, Ms. Daniels, is beginning her first year of being a Kindergarten teacher. It was the first day of school, the busiest day of her life, a day that she also would never forget. That day she meets a young boy named Danny, and his mother. He is a very quiet little boy, extremely shy and is always secluding himself. His mother is truly the only one that could understand him. His mother is his only friend.



Middle: One day, Ms. Daniels recieves a chilling phone call. Danny's mother had been in a sudden car crash and had been killed on impact. Danny had asked to have a call be sent to her, the only person he trusted now that his mother was gone. Throughout the rest of the story the Danny and Ms. Daniels begin to develop a better relationship, and she soon feels the love that his mother must of had for him. Danny begins to trust his teacher, and soon begins to love her as he once loved his mother. He begins to interact with the other children. All of a sudden, something changes again, and he begins to seclude himself again. Ms. Daniels began to notice bruises and cuts on Danny's face and arms, not to mention him not wanting to go home. He would always come up with an excuse such as falling down on the way to school, or accidently falling of his bike. Things only got worse when he would start showing up on her doorstep late at night with a bloody nose or a black eye. Ms. Daniels finally had the courage to look into the situation. She learns that he now lives in a small apartment with his father, a cold man who never said much to anyone. She goes to the police to look for background on his dad. It turns out that there had been domestic abuse calls from his mother before she had died. Ms. Daniels is now determined to get Danny away from her father. She had called the police and they said that they would investigate.



End: One day, Ms. Daniels noticed that Danny wasn't there. She knew something was wrong, for her had been very proud of his perfect attendance record. She calls in for a substitute teacher and rushes over to Danny's small apartment. She smashed a nearby window with a large rock, and climbed into the apartment. The lights were off, but glass and pillows spread across the floor, there had been an obvious struggle. In the middle of the mess, Danny lay on the floor, unconsious and injured badly. She calls 911 and an ambulance rushes him to the hospital. The police arrest his father. As she waits in the hospital with Danny, she doesn't leave or sleep. She didn't want him to have to go into a child home or have to go into foster care, because she knew that he wouldn't do well, and she loved him too much to seem him be in a bad situation. She decides to adopt him. She now has the son that she always wanted, he has a mother who loves him dearly once more, and she also saved his life.

Hero's Journey for Hot Rod

Ordinary World: Rod, a childlike young man with a hormone disorder, continuously performs insane stunts that seem to cause serious bodily injuries. But of course he always has his hilarious band of kind, yet slightly off, close friends. "Hello, I am Rod, and I like to party." :)
Call to Adventure: Rod has always had to compete with his stepfather, to show that he was truly a man, until Rod comes home one day and is told that his stepfather is dying. Realizing that he is losing his chance to finally show up his stepfather, he realizes that he must raise money for his extremely expensive surgerly in order for him to be able to show his stepfather that he truly can be a man. "Have fun being married to SATAN!"
Refusal of the Call: This happens later in the story, when Rod is humiliated in front of his whole town. His stepbrother makes a movie that is premiered, but when it is watched, it makes Rod look very unskilled. He is extremely angry and ends up causing public damage. He is forced to spend all of the money that he had already made on fixing the damage he had caused. And to top it all off, his mom finally decides to tell him that she had lied to him all his life about his father being a stuntman and being killed during a stunt. Hearing this news makes him doubt himself, and he decides to quit. "I'm sorry sweetheart, he actually choked on a peice of pie."
Meeting with the Mentor: Rod has many mentors throughout his journey. Before every stunt he does, he calls upon the spirits of the animal gods. "Oh spirit of the bottle nose dolphin come upon me." "Spirits please protect me.......may they protect you." His friends also train him by putting him through many series of training tests, which many of them include drowning him and running over him with a car. "QWUISKY! QWUISKY!" Also, the beautiful Denise, the girl of Rod's dreams, teaches him and trains him through her magical yoga ways. "So is there a move that can cause a grown man to crap himself?"
Crossing the Threshold: He starts creating his plan to earn the money for the surgery. He tells his plan to his friends when they are at an ice rink. "Lets celebrate! popping of the bubble wrap."
Tests, Allies, Enemies: He starts doing shows, most of them literally blowing up in their face, but still making money. He also meets Jonathen, Denise's jerkface older boyfriend, who treats her and them very crappily. "And who are you princess?"
Approach: His friend his hit in the eye with a peice of metal, and calls Rod lately at night to drive him to the hospital. On the way there his friend tells him how ridiculous he had been acting lately. Kind of sets him straight. "Holy crap!! We just ran over a tiny bus!" "Hospital?" (points at a trash can.) "No, trash can." "Oooooh."
Ordeal: The day.....the moment..... comes when Rod is about to take his final jump. "I am going to kick your butt!"
Reward: He earns all of the money he needs for his stepfather's surgery. "A roast goose for everyone."
The Road Back: Rod is revived, and his life seems to be better. "Don't let your dads eat pie."
Resurrection: Rod is assumed dead when he is knocked unconscious when falling off his bike during his big stunt. He has an out of mind experience, and is revived by Denise's voice. "You were right, the Grilled cheese won."
Return with Elixir: Rod earns all of the money for his dad's surgery, and is finally able to beat him up. He also tells him that he is finally a man. He also gets his first kiss, and now gets to be with the girl of his dreams. And he finally starts to grow his mustache. :)
