Due 10/24 Hero's Quest Outline and 2 paragraphs

You are writing your very own Hero's Quest (much like Jason and the Argonauts). You will need to create a hero who must go on a quest to do something, destroy something, rescue something, get something, etc. Accomplishing this task will result in good things for your hero and community.

Your hero will experience three challenges along the way that delay him from accomplishing his quest. You will need to create these three challenges for your hero to overcome. Eventually, your hero will accomplish this quest, return home, and experience great joy.

For Wednesday, you will need to have an outline of your entire story. Your outline will include information for the categories of

Exposition: Hero's background, setting, other characters.
Hook: What your hero's quest it.
Conflict 1:
Conflict 2:
Conflict 3:
Climax: Quest is accomplished.
Falling action/resolution: Hero returns home successful.

Once your outline is complete, you will need to write the first two paragraphs of your story. The first paragraph should be on the exposition and hook; the second paragraph tells the story of the first conflict.

Your story must have a historical setting and the final essay will be 2-3 pages.
