I. The Beginning Place: This is a fantasy story where the her crosses into another world, finds a friend/mentor to help he communicate, fights a dragon, and returns home with a better understanding of who he is and what he really wants.
a. The mundane/ordinary world: Hugh works as a checker at Sam’s Thrift-E-mart.
“Eight hours a day of chicken noodle two for sixty-nine, dog chow on special, half pint of Derry whip, ninety-five, one, and five is forty.” (chpt. 1).
He lives in a suburb where the streets surrounded by freeway. “Rubbish of paper and metal and plastic underfoot, the sir lashed and staggering with suction winds and the ground shuddering as each truck approached and passed, eardrums battered by the noise and nothing to breathe but burnt rubber and diesel fuel.” (chpt. 1).
b. Call to adventure/reject the call: “He could feel his mouth hanging open, because he could not seem to get enough air into his lungs. His throat was closed off by something in it trying to get out. He stood there beside the armchair, his body trembling in a jerky way, and the thing in his throat came out in words. ‘I can’t, I can’t,’ it said loudly. Very frightened, in panic, he made for the front door, wrenched it open, got out of the house before the thing could go on talking.”(chpt. 1)
“This is a good place, Hugh thought. And I finally got here. I finally got somewhere. I made it.” (chpt. 1).
“He would not have gone back but for the taste of the water. That water he must drink, no other quenched his thirst. Otherwise, he told himself, he would have stayed away, because there was something crazy going on.” (chpt. 1).
“Ordinary things were weird enough without getting messed up any farther, and life didn’t need any more complications than it had already.” (chpt. 1)
c. Crossing the threshold into the extraordinary world: “He came between the pine and the high bushes, the gateway the creek place, and there it was, the glades on the near and far side of the water, the motion and singing of the cool air, the cool, sweet, clear twilight of the late evening. He stood on the threshold, the dark trees over him.” (chpt. 1).
d. Meet allies/enemies/mentor: Hugh meets Irene and he is not sure if she is an ally or enemy. “‘It isn’t a boy scout camp,’ she said. It’s not for bringing all your crap into and camping and – it isn’t a state park. You don’t know the rules. You don’t speak the language, you don’t know their – It isn’t your place. You don’t belong. It isn’t safe.’”(chpt. 3).
“‘You said yourself you don’t belong here. You’re the danger, you’re what’s wrong, it began when you came. I do belong here, this is my place. You think I am going to hand it over to you because you’re a man and own everything. Well, it’s not that way here.’”(chpt. 4).
“‘This is what they want me to tell you, as far as I can understand it. There is something wrong here, some reason they can’t leave the town. Nobody can walk on the roads. Except us coming from the south. They’re afraid of something and it seems to getting worse. Until you came; they think it going to change in some way.’” (chpt. 4).
e. Road of trials: “‘I guess from this,’ he said with detachment, ‘that whatever I have to face is real. “I guess it is,’ Irene whispered. ‘I was hoping it would be magic. It would be easier.” (chpt 6).
“‘He says he has no skill with swords, my lord,’ Irene said. ‘I do not know if any skill would serve him,” the old man said. ‘I could not send him out unarmed.’” (chpt 6).
f. The abyss/ the cave: “Hugh looked up and the creature from which the voice came was there, on the path above them, the thickets shaking and tossind as it came and passed, white, wrinkled, twice a man’s height, dragging its bulk painfully with terrible quickness, round mouth open in the hissing howl of hunger and insatiable pain, and blind.”(chpt. 7).
“the cold brethe sighed out of the cave, and from the cold dark, wakened, came the huge voice, the gobbling howl. And the face that was no face, slit and eyeless, was lunging out, thrusting blind and white, groping down upon him. Holding the sword grip in both hands Hugh pushed the sword upward into the white belly and dragged the blade down with all his strength.” (chpt. 7).
g. The road home: “They were in front of the cave here, but on beyond it, past it. You never think on going past the dragon, Irene thought. You only think about getting to it. But what happens afterwards?” (chpt. 8).
“The sword drove a little deeper now, and again now, and again now. She was like a shadow, she went before him so lightly; the only shadow in this world without shadows, without moon or sun. Wait for me Irene! He wanted to say, but he didn’t have to, she waited. She turned to him. Her warm strong hands touched his.” (chpt 9).
“You beyond all expectation met: you my life. Not death but life. Before the cave of the dragon we were married.” (chpt. 9).
h. Master of both worlds: “‘She went and came back with this suitcase, she had it all ready, its in the car, I’ll leave it for you. I-well, she sort of shoved it at me, at the door, and said, ‘He doesn’t need to come back after this,’ and she was – she shut the – I couldn’t’ do anything but go. I must have said something wrong and she misunderstood and I don’t know what to, how to straighten it out. I’m sorry, Hugh.’ Presently he turned his hand strongly. ‘It’s all right,’ he said when he could speak, ‘Home free.’” (chpt 9).
II. The Wizard of Earthsea – This is a story of fantasy with magic and dragons with a hero who finds a mentor, crossed over to new places, learns skills to take on the shadow and finishes his journey with great knowledge and inner peace.
a. Mundane/ordinary world: Duny was born on an island in area famous for wizards and worked as a goat herder. “‘You will not be able to speak the word I teach where another person can hear it. We must keep the secrets of out craft.’ ‘Good,’ said the boy, for he had no wish to tell the secret to his playmates, liking to know and do what they knew not and could not do.”(chpt. 1).
“The witch praised him and the children of the village began to fear him, and he himself was sure that very soon he would become great among men.” (chpt 1).
b. Call to adventure/reject the call: “He did not see how he could fight or be any good to himself or villagers. It rankled his heart that he should die, spitted on a Kargish lance, while still a boy:” (chpt 1).
“There was a power in him, if he knew how to use it, and he sought among all the spells he knew for a spell that might give him and his companions and advantage, or at least a chance.” (chpt 1).
c. Cross the threshold/extraordinary world: “He said farewell to them, all the people he knew in the world, and looked about once in the village that straggled and huddled there under the cliffs, over the riversprings. Then he set off with his new master through steep slanting forests of the mountain isle, through the leaves and shadows of the bright autumn.” (chpt. 1).
“I am Ged,” he said aloud. Stepping forward then he entered the open doorway.” (Chpt 3).
d. Meet the allies, enemies, mentor: “he did not like to made a feel a fool. He kept back his resentment, and tried to be obedient so that Ogion would consent at last to teach him. For he hungered to learn, to gain power.” (chpt 2).
“Vetch had been three years at the school, and soon would be made sorcerer; he thought no more of performing the lesser arts of magic that a bird thinks of flying. Yet a greater, unlearned skill he possessed, which was the art of kindness. That night and always from then on, he offered and gave friendship which Ged could not help but return.” (chpt. 3).
e. Road of trials: “This sorcery is not a game we play for pleasure or praise. Think of this: that every word, every act of our Art is said and is done for either good or evil. Before you speak or do you must know the price you pay.” (chpt 2).
“The world is in balance, in equilibrium. A wizard’s power of changing and summoning can shake the balance of the world. It is dangerous, that power. It is most perilous. It must follow knowledge, and serve need. To light a candle is to cast a shadow…” (chpt 4).
“Ged fell, struggling and writhing, while the bright rip in the world’s darkness above him widened and stretched.” (chpt. 4).
“You must stay here, until you gain strength and wisdom enough to defend yourself from it- if ever you do. Even now it awaits you.” (chpt 5)
f. The abyss/the cave: “he was a hunter who knew neither what the thing was that he hunted, nor where in all Earthsea it might be. He must hunt it by guess, bu hunch, by luck, even as it had hunted him. Each was blind to the other’s being. Ged as baffled by the shadows as the shadow was baffled by daylight and by solid things. One certainty only Ged had: he was indeed the hunter now and not the hunted.” (chpt. 8).
“As they came together it became utterly black in the white mage-radiance that burned about it, and it heaved itself upright. In silence, man and shadow met face to face, and stopped.” (chpt. 10).
g. The road home: “‘Estarriol,’ he said, ‘look, it is done. It is over.’ He laughed. ‘The wound is healed,’ he said, ‘Iam whole, I am free.’” (chpt 10)
h. Master of both worlds: “And he began to see the truth, that Ged had neither won not lost but, by naming the shadow of his death with his own name, he made himself whole: a man, knowing his true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and those whose life therefore is lived life’s sake and never in the service for ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.” (chpt. 10)
III. The Left Hand of Darkness – This hero finds himself on an alien planet where his only friend helps him to survive life and death challenges and helps him accomplish his mission which leads the hero to final that his true mission was learn about himself and to accept others.
a. Mundane/ordinary world: Genly Ai is the human on the alien planet Winter.
“Though I had been nearly two years on WinterI was still far from being able to see the people of the planet through their own eyes. I tried to, but my efforts took the form of self-consciously seeing a Gethenian first as a man, then as a women, forcing him into categories so irrelevant to his nature and so essential to my own.” (pg. 12; chpt 1).
“The Ekumen is not a kingdom, but a coordinator, a clearinghouse for trade and knowledge; without it communication between the worlds would be haphazard, and trade risky, as you can see. Men’s lives are too short to to cope with the time warps between worlds, if there’s no network and centrality, no control, no community to work through; therefore they become members of the Ekumen…We are all men, you know sir. All of us. All the worlds of men were settled, eons ago, from one world, Hain. We vary, but we’re all sons of the same Hearth…” (pg. 5; chpt 1).
b. Call to adventure/reject the call: “But I do fear you, I fear those who sent you. I fear liars, and tricksters, and worst I fear the bitter truth. And so I rule my country well. Because only fear rules men. Nothing else works. But I am already afraid, I am the king. Fear is the king! Now take your traps and tricks and go, there’s no more needs saying. I have ordered that you be given the freedom of Karhide.” (pg. 40; chpt 3).
“In fact, I was reluctant to leave this land, which I found, though so indifferent to the Envoy, so gentle to the stranger. I dreaded starting over, trying to repeat my news in a new language to new hearers, failing again perhaps.” (pg. 107; chpt. 8)
c. Cross the threshold/extraordinary world: “The Karhidish bridge-keeper asked me only if I planned to return that night, and waived me across. On the Orgota side an Inspector was called out to inspect my passport and papers, which he did for about an hour, a Karhish hour at that.” (pg. 107; chpt. 8).
“The Orgota seemed not unfriendly people, but incurious; they we colorless, steady, subdued. I liked them. I had had two years of color, choler, and passion in Karhide. A change was welcome. (pg. 113; chpt 8).
d. Meet the allies, enemies, mentor: “He is one of the most powerful men in the country; I am not sure the proper historic equivilant of his position, vizier or prime minister or councilor; the Karhide word for it means King’s ear. He is Lord of a Domain and lord of the Kingdom, a mover of great events. His name is Therem Harth rem ir Estraven.” (pg. 5; chpt. 1).
e. Road of trials: “You are tge tool of a faction. I advise you to find out what the enemy faction is, and who they are, and never let them use you, for they will not use you well.” (pg. 131; cgpt. 9).
“I think they fear the Envoy, much as Argaven thought him mad, like himself, while they think him a liar, like themselves. (pg. 148; chpt 10)
f. The abyss/the cave: “I don’t know what drugs they used. I don’t know the purpose of the questioning. I had no idea what questions they asked me. I would come to myself in the dormitory after a few hours, laid out on the sleeping shelf with six or seven others, some waking like myself, others still slack and blank in the grip of the drugs.” (pg. 178; chpt 13).
“I got Ai up over my shoulders again, went northeast a few hundred yards, clambered up over the dead fence and slung my burden down, jumped down free, took up Ai once more and made off as fast as I could towards the river. I was not far from the fence when the whistle began to shriek and the floodlights went on.” (pg. 191; chpt 14).
“I am not sure he can keep hauling any longer than I can, but he can haul harder and faster than I –twice as hard. He can lift the sledge at front or rear to ease it over an obstacle. To match his frailty and strength, he has a spirit easy to despair and quick to defiance, fierce inpatient courage.” (pg 227; chpt 16).
g. The road home: “And I saw then again, and for good, what I always been afraid to see, and pretended not to see in him; that he was a women as well as a man. Any need to explain the source of that fear vanished with the fear; what I was left with was, at last, acceptance of him as he was.” (pg. 248; chpt 16).
h. Master of both worlds: “I thought it was for your sake that I came alone, so obviously alone, so vulnerable, that I could in myself pose no threat, change no balance: not an invasion, but a mere messenger-boy. But there’s more to it than that. Alone, I cannot change your world. But I can be changed by it. Alone, I must listen, as well as speak. Alone, the relationship I finally make, if I make one, is not impersonal and not only political: it is individual, it is personal, it is both more and less political. Not We and They; not I and It, but I and Thou.” (pg. 259, chpt. 18).

Mr. Adams if you would like to see the paper let me know it was too long to put on the actual site.
