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

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:

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
