Reflect: I have done the rhetorical analysis. The song I picked shows how meat is considered murder to some individuals. And how there are ways around it. It demonstrates through lyrics how these animals feel just as much pain as we would, and how it is wrong to expose them to such cruelty. The pictures just show that eating meat is not helping the environment. So all those people who are so into the environment and care so much about saving the planet, are actually hurting the environment more because eating mean kills the earth. The movie, Death to Smoochie, the character shows how much he cares about the environment and animals, and just one person can "dent" reality so much.
Action: I plan to go to the animal shelter and volunteer with the animals. This has to do with my project because these animals do not deserve to die just because they have no homes, or had careless owners. It is the same way with farm animals that are kept in factory farms.
Also I plan to interview someone who is a very strict vegetarian almost vegan. It will help people realize how it is capable and you can still be just as healthy. Also the fact that they can still remain so healthy and how they really are helping the environment.

Four modes: Paragraphs
Song: The Smiths- Meat is Murder
This song talk about how animals do not just live for our food, they are living creatures that deserve life just as much as we do. Also it talks about how killing these innocent animals is not just a way of living it is murder. People go around eating the meat and they have no idea how and what they go through in the factory farms. These animals feel just as we do, and don't deserve anything we wouldn't want done to ourselves.
Book: Hetty and Harriet
I need to get the book, so I can discuss what it has to do with the project.
Movie: Death to Smoochy
Seldon Mopes - Mopes is the sort of character who the word "nice" was invented for. He is a tree-hugging hippy vegetarian with an obsession for healthy living and a motto that runs: "you may not be able to change the world, but you can sure make a dent". He tries to make everything better. I need to see the movie again to write more because I dont really remember his character that well.
Picture:
This pictures shows not only that it is bad to eat meat, but always that if youall yourself an environmentalish why do you eat meat. Seeing that it is not green, how are you really helping the enviroment?

Annotated Bibliography Bell Jar
In the Bell Jar, it goes through many ordeals as described in Voglers text. First when Esther says that she is in an asylum. This story protrays many different stages that Vogler talks about. The first scene is when Esther loses her virginity to a man named Irwin, and then she asks him to take her to her friend Joan who was first introduced in chapter 19 in the begining. Then Joan kills herself due to the fact that the instition let her go out to the movies.
I think this books has a lot of ways to replate it to the Vogler text.

Annotated Bibliography 143-173
Works Cited: Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. TheWriter's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael WieseProductions, 2007. 143-173.
SUMMARY: Starting off vogler talks about the approach to the inner most cave which may have threshold guaridans, agendas and tests. The approach can be very different things, how conflicts and bonds start in some ways. Also it can pertain to having an obsticle to over come. The ordeal is where the greatest challenges are, most likely the most important part of the story. The ordeal can bring death and rebirth, meaning that they over come or face something big and when they return they are completely transformed.
REFLECTION: When first reading about the inner most cave I thought of fight club and how they say to let go of your challenges and try and solve them in your inner most cave. What really interested me was the death and rebirth because it has happened to so many people, and in all different ways. It is so relatable.
QUESTIONS:
Have you ever had a death and rebirth experiance?
What kind of approachs have you had to go through?
What movies have a big part as the ordeal, and base it around the whole movie?

Annotated Bibliography pgs 127-141
Works Cited: Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. TheWriter's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael WieseProductions, 2007. 127-141.
SUMMARY: In the text we read this week, Vogler goes into further detial on more archtypes. In stage five he disscusses, approaching the threshold, and the threshold guardians. Threshold guardians, test the hero, but always it is a way of training the hero, and making them more brave and wiser. Stage six is the test, allies, and enemies. Testing is putting the characters through a series of events and challenges to prepare them for greater ordeals head. Allies and sidekicks are people who are to help the hero and without them the story would seem unrealistic. Every story has enemies or else there would be no action or conflicts. Enemies can also be the functions of other archeypes such as the Shadow, the Trickster, the Threshold Guardianm and sometimes the Herald.
REFLECTION: I think this section was very interesting and helpful. What Vogler is saying is very true. I also like that he always uses references that we know, so we actually understand what he is discusing.
QUESTIONS:
1. Do you think one a human figure can be an enemy?
2. When trying to pass a threshold of your own, have you come across a threshold guardian?
3. Do all hero's have allies, and does it make them a hero still if they don't?

Annotated Bibliography pgs 105-125
Works Cited: Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. TheWriter's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael WieseProductions, 2007. 105-125.
SUMMARY:
Vogler discusses how refusal of the call to adventure can be very diastrious. Many o the times the hero is scared, and trys to find excuses. Also he talks about how the refusal can sometimes be a positive notion. Then Vogler goes on to discuss meeting with a mentor. What a mentor usually does and how a mentor can be different kinds of people and help in so many different ways.
REFLECTION: I think this is very helpful to know while writing because sometimes if their is no refusal then it almost seems to easy and unrealistic to the reader. People want to be able to connect with the characters and if the character never refuses and is never scared they almost seem unhuman like.
QUESTIONS:
Have you ever refused a call to adventure? If so how would your life me different if you accepted it?
Have you accepted a call to adventure you wished you had refused?
Should every story have some kind of mentor to guide the hero?

Revise Project--1
Revise elements:
First I need to start out by adding more describtion on who I am talking about, and what the major topic is.
Second fully develop sentances in more broad detail and more descriptive parapgraphs
And lastly I need to figure out what exactly I learned from all of it. What I truely got out of my experience.

Kafka--1 Quiz
1. Connect the Ordinary World and the Call to Adventure to your reading of Book 1 of _The Metamorphosis_ Explain the connection.
His ordinary world is work and home life. Because both are not satisfying enough he alters into a bug for his call to adventure. It gives him a new perspective on life, and maybe in the end he will find more to bring back to his ordinary world to become more satisfied.
2. Are there any social issues being critiqued in the story? How does "The Red Scare" relate to Kafka's work?
I think they both relate to how people always have to follow order and people who are more powerful and named “above” them. It seemed like it was about the treatment of workers.
3. What does Gregor turn into in the story? monstrous verminous bug

Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael Wiese
Productions, 2007. 49-80.
SUMMARY: These sections were the last section of book one and covered all of the common archetypes that were left. Some of the achretypes described along with the mentor and hero were: threshold guardian, the herald, the shapeshifter, the Shadow, the Ally and the trickster. The threshold guardian is there to test the hero. The heralds job in the story is to do challenges. Also the shapeshifter can either be a villian or allie and it a very helpful part in telling a story. The Ally is one of the important characters in the story it reveals comic releif and is a compainion to the hero.
REFLECTION: I think overall it really helped me understand the important meanings of all the achretypes presented in book one. I think it really helps develop the persons story and along with helping to develop the hero as a character.
QUESTIONS: Which character do you think helps the hero the most?
Are people like this really needed in the way society is today?
Do you think anybody can be a shapeshifter? why?

Which disney character I am?
My mother is holding on to my neck as tightly as possible. She is running fast, and pacing. All I can hear are the dogs in the background barking. My name is Todd. I make friends pretty fast, and I always care about everybody. I think my best friends will last forever, even though in the end they probably wont. Cooper is quite a rebel and likes to get my in trouble, but I am pretty cautious when I do things. I am very kind for a fox, and I consider everyone before my actions. I know my mother loves me, and she would only do what is best for me.
I think I am most the Todd, from the fox and the hound because we have the same characteristics. Not only am I always trying to make sure everyone is okay, I usually always make friends pretty fast. All my old best friend I thought would stay forever, which ended up not working out that way. I never follow peoeple like Todd does, but with everything I do I take caution to make sure it is done correct and persisly.
