Create a 14- to 16-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes about a contemporary hero or heroine's quest.
Pick a contemporary story in the form of a novel, movie, or video game that is inspired by a mythological epic or journey of a hero's quest from our reading. Briefly describe the plight of the main character--the feat(s) he or she must execute for the benefit of society in the face of challenges. Remember that your comparision must be to a myth that we have read in class. (Harry Potter and Bewolf)
Identify the villain and describe his or her characteristics and role in the hero's quest as compared to the hero in the ancient myth.
Identify other archetypes within the story. Briefly describe these roles in the hero's quest, and compare them to the ancient myth.
Identify in detail each of the steps the hero takes in the quest: initiation, separation, transformation, and return. Compare this hero quest to the one from our reading.
Research the mythological and cultural origins of the story. Explain parallels between the myth(s) and the contemporary story it inspired.
Analyze any mythological symbolism, metaphors, and attributes pertinent to the story. What real life elements might these items represent?
Explain the conflicts between personal desires and community responsibility represented in the myth and the contemporary story. Relate these to the conflicts and choices with which ordinary humans struggle. Explain why these human conflicts retain relevance through the ages.
