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?
