Some ideas that emerged from class as to what hero's journey is or could be:
A hero is involved.
And a journey.
The hero's journey might follow a story arc with opening, conflict, resolution and ending.
Becoming is involved--there's a journey to BECOME a hero.
Obstacles occur.
Also setbacks.
There will be death.
There will be traveling.
QUESTIONS that emerged about HERO'S JOURNEY:
WHAT IS IT?
CAN ANYONE GO ON A HERO'S JOURNEY?
WHEN WAS IT MADE?
WHAT TIME PERIOD DOES IT TAKE PLACE IN?
WHAT'S IT FOR?
I also think it's interesting what differences were observed among the heroes and heroines chosen by class members in small groups. Here are some of the observations about differences among the chosen heroes and heroines:
Fantasy vs. Real
Male vs. Female
Star (who needs glory) vs Hero who is humble
Sincere vs. Insincere
Humble vs. Conceited
General vs. Personal
Global vs. Personal
Famous vs. Ordinary
Heroes and Heroines from different time periods
