My Favorite TV Show

My favorite TV show is Bones. To me, this show is the perfect combination of serious, adventure and it still has it's funny moments. Pictured below are the two "heroes" of the show. The female lead, Temperance "Bones" Brennan is a forensic anthropologist. She works together with Special Agent Seeley Booth to solve murders. Together they are quite the pair. Bones is very serious and technical, she understands very little of the modern life because she studies it rather than living it. Booth is the very laid back jock that understands very little outside his gun-toting, ladies man life, including and especially anything that Bones says. 

With the two of them playing the hero role together, the tend to butt heads and in one episode Booth was stuck between a friend that was being investigated for a murder and doing his job. This is an example of a time when a hero comes to a cross roads when he doesn't know which way to go and he has to make the decision himself. He had his partner telling him to do one thing and an old friend begging him to do another. This shows the journey that a hero must make.

This can also relate to character and character functions. Bones can be interpreted as the one to discover herself and Booth can be seen as the guide for her journey
