The reading begins with explaining the refusal of the call by the hero. It explains the many ways the hero may attempt to refuse the call because they are afraid of the unknown. The second part of the reading explains how the hero meets the mentor. The hero's mentor is generally a person of knowledge that teaches him and helps him throughout the journey. The mentor is also normally a person of older age and can even be a hero that has experience.
I thought that the reading was interesting in the fact that it uses a lot of useful references to familiar stories. It also explained all of the different areas of the mentor and refusal of the call in great detail, maybe even to much detail.
This reading connects to the first project because it can give you a clearer idea on how to write your story. Also, the more i read the book it helps me understand the hero's journey more clearly.
1) Can the story not have the call to action in it?
2) Can you think of a story where the one who seems to be the mentor is really the hero's enemy?
3) What story has your favorite call to action?
