1 from Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor
Every Trip is a Quest from Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor

2 The Quest: Quick Brainstorm
What are the elements of a quest? Who is involved? What is/are the conflicts? What is the outcome?

3 Foster’s 5 Elements of the Quest
1.) The quester (who) 2.) The place to go (where) 3.) The stated reason to go there (why) 4.) The challenges and trials en route 5.) A real reason to go there (the TRUE why)

4 The Real Reason vs. Stated Reason
The real reason of the quest never involves the stated reason. The quester usually fails at the stated task. The quester’s task is very educational. The real reason for a quest is always self-knowledge.
