Quick-write Read and respond to the following quotation: “If people knew the story of their lives how many would then elect to live them? People speak about what is in store. But there is nothing in store. The day is made of what has come before. The world itself must be surprised at the shape of that which appears. Perhaps even God.” – Cormac McCarthy

Applying the Monomyth Work together to complete as much of the sheet as you can (given how far you’ve read) You may want to revise what you have already written Make sure to write in evidence and page numbers

APH Project Simplified Project Prompt: How does Cormac McCarthy’s book All the Pretty Horses reflect the 17-step hero’s journey explained by Joseph Campbell? Your assignment is to create some kind of game, which relates the content of the book to Campbell’s hero’s journey, using quotations from the book, visuals (that you find or create) and – of course – explanations of your evidence. How your information is presented, and what kind of game that you choose to create, is up to you. I expect you to tap into your creativity for this one (points will be awarded for creativity and effort, as well as information and analysis)
