Annotated Bibliography pgs 83-105
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?

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?
