Works Cited: Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. TheWriter's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael WieseProductions, 2007. 49-80.

SUMMARY: In this section of the book Vogler discussed how important a title is for a book, and how it can make you want to read a book or not. Also he goes into further detail about the ordinary world, and how important it is. In the hero's journey Vogler says that the ordinary world shows the character what they are missing from their lives. Also he talks about call to adventure and how that can make the stpry progress.

REFLECTION: I exspectionally liked what he said about the title, because it is true without a good title, or one that will interest someone no one will even pick the book up. Also the ordinary world is so intriging, and I actuallity i had never really thought about it until reading this book.

QUESTIONS:
1. What titles have you thought sounded horrible, but the book ended up being amazing?
2. How do you think the special world and the ordinary world differ?
3. What is an example of your ordinary world?

Annotated Bibliography pgs 49-83

Works Cited: Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The
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.
