Patterns of Fiction

The Quest In a QUEST, the main character sets out in search of something, experiences various adventures, and finally returns—either triumphant or wiser.

The Initiation A main character is faced with a new situation that tests his or her abilities or beliefs. How the character deals with the situation determines the direction of his or her life.

The Union In this pattern, a boy and a girl grow fond of each other, but their parents or some other authority figure or circumstance comes between them. The couple usually gets together in the end after overcoming various obstacles.

The Choice The main character is faced with a difficult decision near the end of this type of story. Making this decision is the high point of the plot.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT Integrate the themes of the different EPIC HEROES from the stories we have previously read. Create your own EPIC HERO story. Can be a reality-based hero or a fictionalized hero. 3 pages, double-spaced.
