Zeitoun

In the first stage in Campbell’s stages in the journey of the hero, The Ordinary World Zeitoun is introduced to the story sympathetically. The reader gets to see Zeitoun’s background, where he came from and how that might have resulted in the situations he finds himself in throughout the novel. He would always face dangerous situations as a child.  Zeitoun could not wait for when his older brother would take him fishing. He was accustomed to the diligent life style back in Syria and that affected many of his choices later on in life. Such as, the decision he made by staying behind to take care of his home.
