Lesson 2.4

Welcome to Honors 10 Unit 2, Lesson 4! In this lesson's objective...

Any movie buff or lover of literature knows that at the center of most stories, there is a hero who fights the odds to achieve a goal. How do stories across time and culture reflect this character type? In this essay, the author describes the archetype of the hero’s journey, reminding readers that although various heroes’ goals and obstacles might differ, the heroes themselves share similar journeys. Students will identify which step of the Hero’s Journey Santiago is experiencing when he meets Fatima.
