The Hero's Path. Campbell asserts that the mythical adventures of the hero are a dramatization of the rites of passage we all go through in real life. Relate the experiences of the hero to your own life! 

Outline the Hero's Journey and tell us how your life or a time in your life exemplifies it.

Tell us which elements of Campbell's Hero's Journey seemed to be either omitted, altered, repeated, or perhaps happened to a close friend or family member during your 'adventure.'

Questions you should consider in your own self-analysis include but are not limited to: Who "called you to adventure" and how?  Did you refuse the call in any way and if so, how or why? Who or what was your source of supernatural aid? What thresholds did you cross and who or what were the guardians? Were they helpful or not? Did you ever feel you were literally "in the belly of the whale?" Did you encounter tempters? Who were/are the 'villains' in your life?  What was/is your quest and ultimate boon? Have you achieved any apotheosis of your own? Did you know any who failed in their own quest?  These are just some of the questions you ought to be able to address as you outline Campbell's "Hero's Journey" and relate it to your own life
