T/Fr For Friday

ello all,

Today, Professor Raj guided us through the innermost cave and the ordeal in Vogler. Professor Raj asked the big question "why are we all scared of death?" Many people participated in answering this question. Some great observations were made:

Liz B-These section really relate to life and that we must grow through out "mini-deaths"
Fletch- Roller Coasters and cheating Death (humans understand life the best when experienced in the life or death moment).
Greg-Panic when a hero panics. The effect of emotion on all other characters and the audience.
Aleena-Death is scary and negative, and we avoid this.
Haden-Carpe Diem--We need to find a dragon?
Elena-The importance of Metaphor in seeing the journey.

I brought up some connections with our writing process, and how we, currently, our in the innermost cave preparing for the ordeal of drafting. Excellent job class.

We then shifted to discussing the moving from the "cave" of outlining to the "ordeal" of writing our first "draft." We had five of our peers read our outlines and list our strengths and weaknesses as we move to writing. The first draft is not due until Friday, but it would be wise to start drafting now.

For Class on Friday.
