We'll get through quarantine. In the meantime, stay at home and keep writing! Press space to move through the slides. Yes, I know my steps don't match up with the diagram exactly. Everyone explains the cycle differently. Sorry the second slide got cut off a little. Tell me about typos/suggestions in the comments. Also, please recommend books to me, or share an analysis of the Hero's Journey in a novel (or movie) you like! DISCLAIMER: You don't have to follow this process exactly in your story. This is just an explanation of how most stories work, and can help with your writing. Why learn about the Hero's Journey? Almost every story follows this process. Learning about this can help you improve your own writing.
I worked all afternoon on this, I'm so glad I can finally share it! Images from Google. Song: Darkside by Au/Ra and Alan Walker (Au/Ra is one of my favorite singers, I encourage you to listen to some of her music!) Books/movies referenced: - Moana (Disney) - Into the Wild (Erin Hunter) - Wonder (R.J. Palacio) - Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) - Mary Poppins (Disney) - The Karate Kid (Colombia Pictures) - The Maze Runner (James Dashner) - Frozen (Disney) - Mulan (Disney) And, of course, the novels I analyse are: - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling - Divergent by Veronica Roth Images are from the movie adaptions of these books. These steps can also be seen in realistic fiction. Since I don't read much realistic fiction and couldn't think of any novels I know well enough to analyze, I didn't analyze a realistic fiction novel.
