Leslie Navarrete Analytical and Persuasive Writing 09/29/08
Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. 3rd ed. Boston: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007. 83- 105
Summary:
The two chapters pertained the Ordinary World and the Call to Adventure. Volger in these two chapters went into great detail on how to establish a ordinary world that seems real life and that connects to the audience. The ordinary world is the beginning of the movie and where first impression account; the title, propagandas, and imagery all effect this section. The hero’s first appearance and action must convey the type of person the character is and how he or she deals with situations is pivotal. Imperfections is what gears an emotional script. In the call to adventure; Volger exposes the various ways this stage comes into play in a story.
Some examples are; temptation, lack or need, and no more options. The call to adventure is what keeps the story rolling and more brings the action to the play. It deals with how the hero interacts with real life situations and how he or she grows into a mature person. These two chapters brought clarity to the past chapters and gave tips on how to achieve each stage in a script. One important factor over all is the connection between the audience and the protagonist . The protagonist must be relatable ,but no necessarily liked by the audience; must contain features that we contain, and the writer must emphasis on his or her flaws.
Reaction:
I felt these two chapters were redundant with the last chapters we have read in the past two weeks. I think everyone has gotten the conclusion on pivotal audience awareness and relation is. Also the varies heroes that are portrayed in movies and their definition. I see now how the next chapter assist script writers because in ordinary world ; Volger categories all that need to be coherent in a ordinary world and what a writer should contemplate on when creating a begin.
The call to adventure brought other methods on how this stage arrives to a hero such as, tempetion and the last resort. I think this chapter can be related to how life complys a person to change or act upon critical situations; it is a way to mature and gain knowledge.
Questions:
1. What kind of hero can you relate to as an individual?
2. Do you think tragic heroes are less you used in today’s movie scripts ?
3. What was an odd way you have received the call to adventure in your life?
