Vogler 7
Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007. 3-20.
This portion of the book, pages 143-173, is where Vogler speaks about the approach to the inmost cave and the ordeal. The approach to the inmost cave is where the hero is rights at the point to face the great challenge, at the brink of danger. “Now the hero stands in the deepest chamber of the inmost cave, facing the greatest challenge and the most fearsome opponent yet”(Vogler 155). These stages are truly where the audience is at its’ most excited. Both of these stages together can make a good movie great of a great movie terrible.
Give a famous example of the approach to the inmost cave.
Give a famous example of the ordeal.
Which stage is more important and why?
Veil- a piece of opaque or transparent material worn over the face for concealment, for protection from the elements, or to enhance the appearance.

The football player injured his ganglion with the big hit.
Triumph- the act, fact, or condition of being victorious
The Rays triumphed over the very old and talented Red Sox.

Vogler 6
Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007. 3-20.
This portion of the book, pages 127-141, is where Vogler speaks about crossing the first threshold and enemies, allies, and tests. Crossing the threshold is where the hero commits fully to the adventure. Tests, allies, and enemies: in this stage the most important part in the section is testing. These stages I feel are the most dramatic stages in a story. Still, this portion of Vogler’s text seems like a redundant passage we have already read at the beginning.
Give a famous example of crossing the threshold.
Give a famous example of tests, allies, and enemies.
Which stage is more important and why?
Coherent- logically connected; consistent:
The inmate wasn’t coherent to what the doctor was saying.
Microcosm- a little world; a world in miniature
The city was nothing like the microcosm Billy was used to.
Allayed- to lessen or relieve; mitigate; alleviate
The drugs allayed the back pain he had been having all night.

Vogler 5
Vogler, Christopher, and Michele Montez. The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers. Boston: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007. 3-20.
Through this portion of the book, pages 83-105, Vogler describes two stages, the refusal of the call and the meeting with the mentor. Vogler has already discusses the significance of all these stages towards the beginning of this book and the redundancy is kind of disinteresting and distracting.
The refusal to call is when the hero faces the challenge and journey and develops fear which causes this hesitation. Meeting with the mentor is commonly needed after the refusal of the call in order to better the hero’s knowledge and chances. The meeting with the mentor helps protect, train , test, teach, and guide the hero.
Give a famous example of the refusal to call.
Give a famous example of the meeting with the mentor
