Essay Topic 1
One of the enduring myths of the human race is that of The Hero's Journey. Jacob leaves his home, embarks on a simultaneous outer and inner journey, and emerges transformed, with a new world view and perspective.
The reason this particular point in Jacob's story is such a good place to comment on its relationship to The Hero's Journey is that his emergence from darkness into light, his "rebirth" is an example of a motif or repeated image that very often, almost inescapably, appears in Hero's Journey narratives.
1. Discuss what you see is the outer journey that Jacob undertakes. Use examples from the text and your own life to support your answer.
2. Discuss Jacob's inner journey and how he was changed by it. Use examples from the text and your own life to support your answer.
3. Discuss why it might be true that a Hero's Journey always involves moving from darkness into light, in the form especially of self knowledge. Use examples from the text and your own life to support your answer.
