Choose a heroic figure from a book, film, or comic/cartoon series with which you are familiar (such as Theseus, Oedipus, Calaf in Turandot, King Arthur, Siddhartha, Moses, Mohammed, a cowboy hero, or Frodo from The Lord of the Rings).

Alternatively, you may choose a person who is/was known for their humanitarian efforts, or who have led a movement (such as Mother Teresa or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.).

Initial Post: Write 1-2 paragraphs in which you introduce your chosen hero. Apply at least two of Campbell’s characteristics as you elaborate on that hero’s life.

Reply Posts: Respond to one classmate’s post by considering the following:

• Have you heard of their hero?
• What do you know about her or him?
• Do you think this person is a good choice for a hero? Why or why not?
