BP #5

In the book I am reading, The Golden Filly, the main character is named Trisha. I think Trisha has many archetypes to her for she shows many different emotions through the text and is on the sides of many different people, but I believe her main archetype is being the hero. At the beginning of the text, Trish is being trained for her big race on her horse Spitfire, by her dad. She firstly shows hero traits for she sets aside all of her other work to make sure she trains Spitfire to win(self-sacrifice)! Then later on in the text, she has to deal with her dad going to the hospital for a very severe cough, and is willing and shows self-sacrifice for she makes sure all of the tasks he was supposed to do around the barn are done and does not stop to pity herself for the loss of her dad. I am not far in the book, but so far those are the traits I have seen in Trisha to show the archetypal trait of being the hero.
