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.
