This reading was about the hero's crossing of the first threshold and then the tests, allies, and enemies. The crossing of the first threshold is where the hero completely commits to the adventure. The section of tests, allies, and enemies explains the sidekicks and his rivals, and it also explains a "watering hole", which could be something like a bar or saloon, where the hero could meet his allies or enemies.
The crossing of the threshold was basically the hero's acceptance of the call. The test, allies, and enemies obviously explained the test, allies, and enemies, but I thought that it was interesting when he explained the watering holes and the new roles of the new world.
The tests, allies, and enemies section could be related to real life and judge the people in your life as your sidekick or rival. The crossing of the threshold could even relate to my life as well in explaining how I was able to complete this assignment. Also, it relates to the first project, because it was about a hero's journey. In the reading, The Metamorphosis, there is a crossing of the threshold, where the family accepts the fact that he is a cockroach and decide to start living life with him as a cockroach.
1) Is there a story where the hero is not tested?
2) What is a crossing of the threshold in your life?
3) How did you meet your "sidekick"? Rival?
