Blog 11: My chosen story

The novel I have chosen is Twilight by Stephanie Myers. The reason I chose this book is because it is one of my favorites and it fits the theme. Also, I know this book really well since I read it a couple of times. There is a entry about this book on wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_(novel)The plot to this book is about a love between a human and a vampire, it speaks about the things they do to maintain there love and the secret. The approach I will use is the hero quest the reason I chose this approach is because it allows us to talk about the character and the journey that they go through.

Blog 10: Reflection

In these few weeks we have been learning about the Hero Quest. I have learned that almost every film or book always has a meaning. The hero quest makes regular people become into a hero basically. It doesnt have to be that they have to do anything out of the ordinary it can also be a regular person. I have learned the elements of the Hero journey and I am sure that from now on when I am watching a movie I will be thinking about these elements. I also have learned that in some point of our lives we also have been through the hero quest that Joseph Campbell was speaking about. In my own life I have experinced it and now when I am in the middle of something this will pop into my head.
