English IV- Due 10/8!

Often times, the protagonists (or minor characters) of a story demonstrate characteristics of the classic hero and quests that we have discussed in class. How does your protagonist or plot resemble the hero and quest, which hero/quest characteristics (extraordinary birth, goal/ quest, journey, friend or guide, danger, darkness, success, qualities, tragic flaw) does the book include? How is your protagonist different from the heroes we have read about in class? Use specific examples from your book to support your opinions.
