6. Opening- The Hero’s Journey
The hero's journey forms the basic template for all great stories.
Described at length in Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces
The hero's journey serves as the tale every culture tells.
The journey's path is described variously, but in general it includes the call to adventure, a supernatural aide or mentor, initiation by trials and adventures, victory, and return.
Its universality can easily be seen in fairy tales and other traditional tales, as well as in such popular culture offerings as J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy and George Lucas' Star Wars
