Writing Task: For this assignment, you will choose one hero or multiple heroes (as long as they are in the

same movie or TV show) to analyze in a SIX PARAGRAPH (four to five page) essay.
Ultimately, the essay should achieve two, main purposes:
1.) Using the Hero’s Journey as a lens, show how your hero/heroes fulfills, mostly fulfills, or does not

fulfill, the various stages of the Hero’s Journey, including a discussion of the specific stages and mythological archetypes.
2.) Analyze the characteristics and actions that make these characters heroes.
To help you better understand these concepts, you should use “The Stages of the Hero’s Journey.” You

will also need to include this source material at least once in your essay.
Choosing a topic/hero:
Your first instinct might be to write about an obvious hero such as James Bond or Indiana Jones or a

super hero such as Spiderman or Batman, but keep in mind that there are different types of heroes such as The
Incredibles or Moana.
Although this essay cannot entirely focus on the villain or anti-hero, you should show how the hero deals

with adversity, whether it’s an evil dictator, monster, or a devious corporation, etc.
