- twic 6y agoSeconded, this is a hell of a read. The guy's mother is the real hero. EDIT This is a perfect example of the Hero's Journey [1] Call to adventure: the kid selling tamales in the bar Supernatural aid: his mother The threshold: calling round the various suppliers Challenges and temptations: making the tamales by hand Revelation: he conceives the machine Transformation: hiring the machinists, perfecting the machine Atonement with the father: the patent attorney?! Return: throwing the Cinco de Mayo party Perfect, i tell you! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey
