In this assignment, you will explore the pattern of the heroic journey by writing a creative narrative of an experience in your life that
you believe parallels the stages of Campbell’s monomyth. Using the pattern of the monomyth that you learned in our learning resources, you will trace your own heroic journey, classifying the events of your life in stages that fit the monomyth and explaining each event in detail to exemplify each stage and step. Rather than writing a conventional academic essay with a thesis statement, here you will use principles from creative writing to tell your own autobiographical story, treating your own life like that of the protagonist of a heroic adventure story.
