Hello, I am SN and I will be talking about two separate heroes and their journeys. One of the two heroes will be fictional. That means that he/she is not real and is from either a book, movie, tv show, video game, etc. The other hero is real and is someone I know and interviewed for this AP. What do these two heroes have in common? Well, they both follow the steps to Joseph Campbell’s monomyth of a hero’s journey. First, heroes have to go through separation from their own world, figuratively or literally. Second, they go through a vast majority of tests of any kind to claim the title of ‘hero’. Third, they have to return to their world after achieving the ultimate boon, symbolically or physically. The fictional hero I chose to analyze is Scott Pilgrim from “Scott Pilgrim vs the World”. One of the main reasons I chose him is because he is an awesome comic book character, and “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” is one of my most favorite movies of all time. However, I also chose him because e...

Welcome to the second Action Project for Stories. For this AP, we were instructed to write a fable. A fable consists of a protagonist, antagonist, symbol, and lesson to teach the reader. The underlying lesson is one of the main identifying factors of a fable. Also, all of the characters in fables are animal-based. Animals help the reader to understand the traits of each character. The protagonist of this story is a mouse named Remey. He has nightmares and is afraid of anything bigger and stronger than he is. The antagonists of the story are his fears getting in the way of him making new friends. The lesson and symbols of the story are something you are going to find out yourselves - they are things with deeper meanings that I do not want to spoil for you. Do not worry! This story will be easy to understand. I really enjoyed making it, so hope you enjoy reading it.  Illustrated by "SN" Once upon a time, there was a mouse named Remey.

Welcome to my first Action Project for the class Stories. In this class, we learned the term "etiology" and what it means. Etiology is the story of how something came to be - like mankind, for example. We have been reading a lot of mythological stories on how things came to be. For this Action Project, we were instructed to create our own stories about the etiology of how something came to be. It didn't have to be real. In this Action Project, we can make up our own world. When I made this action project, I put in too many words. I struggled all night taking out words while trying to keep this story good. I did well creating the it though. I am good at setting my imagination free. If I were to re-write this story, I would have focused less on introducing all of the characters. That is probably one of the reasons why I had too many words. Anyways, we all learn from our mistakes. I hope you enjoy! "Ancient Cave Painting of  Man and Chimera Together" Illustra...
