This weeks Vogler reading has two sections that are apart of the important hero's journey. The first section is about crossing the first threshold. Vogler explains that this is the point in which a character comes to a problem or change in the story that makes the hero have to make a tough decsion. This is were the hero runs into a villian or does somethin that will change there lives. The next section is about test, allies, and enemies. This section jus show that a hero will run inton these different types of people. The tests help the hero learn from there mistakes or move on in the story. Allies can stay with the hero along there journey's and enemies are there in the story to give the hero conflict . some enemies can even turn into allies.
As i read vogler i reacted postively toward it because it related to basketball. In basketball i had to cross the firsat threshold by actually playing in my first organized game. i didnt really know how to dribble and shoot but my dad put me out there and i found a way. As i went on to play in middle shool, high school, and now college i have been through many tests, and met many allies and enemies. I had to put myself through tests by playing in championship games. and along the way i met many allies which are still friends today. on the court i also have many enemies. actually everyone is my enemy if they are my opponent.
As i read i found many ways to reflect on Voglers reading. In class i think we have to cross the first threshold by doing our first essay. Because the first essay is the hardest because you dont feel like writing a 100pages about a stupid topic. Also we do tests which in writing is our knowledge nuggets. i have also become friends with the allies and my knowledge circle. they help me when i need it. Enemies? that the only thing i dont really have. Enemies might be the short readings that are actually very long. they are pretty tricky. it kind of
1. What tests do u have in life?
2. How has an allie helped you through life?
3.What was your first Threshold crossing?
