Mythology Review

A hero normally has an _______________________________________ which sets them apart from others. An example of this would be Harry Potter defeating Voldemort as a baby and becoming a wizard

A hero answers the ____________________________________ when he/she receives an invitation to join a world different than their own. An example would be Neo taking the red pill.

When a hero has taken their first steps on an adventure, leaving home, they are ______________________________________. An example of this would be Sam and Frodo leaving the Shire for the first time.

The things that a hero has to overcome are considered his/her _______________________________________________. An example of this would be Mulan’s training.

A __________________________ is a person who acts as a helper to the hero and teaches them what they need to know to navigate the new world or offers advice in times of trials.

The most dangerous part of a hero’s journey is the _____________________________, which requires them to face a great evil that tries to get the hero to bail on their adventure. For example, Nala asks Simba to return to Pride Rock.

A _______________________________ is an item that only the hero can wield and usually helps them on their journey.

A hero enters the stage of ______________________ when he/she achieves their goal, wins a battle, finishes a quest, saves an innocent, or kills a villian. They become a true hero at this stage. An example of this would be when Harry Potter sacrifices himself at the hands of Voldemort.

The hero experiences the __________________________ when they overcome their biggest battle and receive some sort of treasure or reward. An example of this is Agent K awakening from his coma and reuniting with his wife.

The hero enters the __________________________ stage when they come back to the “real” world for a bit after their adventure. They may not stay there forever, but they visit for a time. For example, Moana returns to her village and they embrace the ocean.

A hero has entered the ___________________________________ when he or she learns things that have changed him/her for the better and comes to terms with them being a different person that they were before. For example, Marlin trusts Nemo to go to school and explore the ocean.

Doing evil because you want something bad to happen to someone.

Doing good even though you rather do something bad.

Doing good because you are instructed to, not because you want to.

Doing evil despite knowing better.
