Summary- This section reviewed the crossing over of the first threshold and the first stage of the heroes journey of meeting tests, allies and enemies in the special world. Crossing over the threshold is the point in the story where the hero commits to the task at hand. He's met his mentors and gotten influenced either by himself or others and now takes on the role of the hero. Now in the special world he meets obstacles, or events, in the form of allies, enemies or some test of faith and will.
Reflection- I related to the crossing over section a lot because in my story of my life experience the crossing over is really clear and was a defining point in my life. This section reviews the first steps of entering this new world just as I had to do years ago. I encountered all new people some ending up as friends and some as enemies, while enduring the tests of school and sports as well. The connections with the Vogler reading and everyday experiences and even movies are unlimited. The most recent one could just be the crossing over into the world of the cockroach in the metamorphosis reading.
Questions
What was your crossing over moment in your story?
Should the hero encounter all of the tests, allies, and enemies, or just a couple, or even one of them?
Whats a movie you've seen recently with a clear crossing over and meeting of allies and enemies?
