Missing the lecture for this assignment due to Marlen’s illness was bad. I read on his syllabus all about supernatural aid and watched the videos on youtube. From the reading I thought mostly of Star Wars where supernatural aid is used a lot. After watching all three videos I saw a few great examples about supernatural aid, but I thought the first one about Cinderella was the best example.

In the clip Cinderella was faced with a problem that she needed to go to the ball, but she was just a servant that had no transportation or attire. She received supernatural aid from her fairy godmother to get her ready for the ball. The fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a carriage, rats into horses, a horse into a coachman, and a dog into the footman. In addition, for a grand finale, she turned Cinderella’s rags into a gorgeous dress. The lesson was simple: Without the help of her fairy godmother she could not complete her journey.

As for supernatural aid I’ve experienced, I was not able to think of very many. The only thing I could think of was instead of a fairy godmother helping me through a journey I have my regular mother to help me through most of my journeys. The aid that my mother gives me sometimes must be supernatural, because it is like she is sent from god. I could not imagine having a better person to have when stuck in several journeys and needed aid.

Like the time when I was in high school and was deciding on which college to go to. She helping me apply to all of the colleges I wanted and helped me decide which one would be best. I got into IUP as well as others and she helped me decide that IUP was the best choice for me. So far, I have been loving it and would not have changed my decision for the world. But her aid does not stop there, I talk to her often and just last week I told her I was getting sic, very sick, and it wasn’t going away. She told me to go to Pechan (or whatever the health building is) and everything I should take as well as send me some medicine in case I did not get any. After a couple days I recovered and am good as new to complete my journey all thanks to my supernatural aid.
