Once the hero has crossed the threshold, the next stages of the journey are all about the Hero trying to function in the special world as they face greater and greater obstacles. They face TESTS, form ALLIES and fight ENEMIES. As they APPROACH the inmost cave, the hero and their newfound allies make preparations to face the ORDEAL (the major challenge) in the special world. Finally, near the middle of the story, the hero faces their greatest fear as his/her ORDEAL. Out of this moment comes a new sense of self or a new found appreciation for the qualities the hero has gained. Finally, the hero takes possession of the REWARD won by facing this central crisis.
Throughout all of these stages, the hero learns about what they are made of, and what they can withstand physically and mentally.
Today, you will be making a connection between the novel you are currently reading and one of these middle stages of the journey.
Start your entry, as always, by identifying the novel source (by image or proper bibliographic citation).
Last name, First name. Title of Book. City of Publication:
Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.
Then describe the stage (tests, enemies and allies; approach to the inmost cave; ordeal; or reward) as your protagonist is going through it. Use the definition of the stage to help you apply it to your protagonist's unique experiences.
Finally, explain what the hero has learned about him/herself from the conflict or confrontation at this middle stage of the journey.
***Be sure to include at least ONE DIRECT QUOTATION with a proper in-text citation (Author page) or (page)
