Summary
This selection reviewed a couple of the twelve stages we learned about earlier in the book. The first part of the book explains the archtypes in greater detail and the second part which we just started explains the twelve stages better. The heros journey starts in the ordinary world where you get a feel for his life before all the adventure. The next stage is the call to adventure where the hero receives a challenge or task to accomplish. The book explains many ways for an author to portray these ideas and gives examples of all the various ways its already been used.
Reaction
I like how there are always texts or movies as examples that almost everyone can relate to. They chose the wizard of oz as an example in each one of these stages and pretty much everyone has seen that and can relate to it. The way the author simplifies everything for the reader makes this type of writing fairly easy to identify and use ourself.
Reflection
I don't really know what to put for this section. The way it relates to our text is that its just further explaining the steps we learned about earlier in the book. I had a few connections to the texts described in this section but nothing too important.
Why is the title so important for capturing the audience?
Why is the Wizard of Oz often referred to in this section?
Do you think the author did a good job explaining these stages?
