As we begin our reading of vogler again we learn about the concepts of the approach and ordeal. The approach refers to the hero coming and reaching a pivotal point in the movie usually around the middle point or the middle of the journey. At this point the hero may do many things, such as fall in love, confront any problems in the journey, recognize his enemy and such things.

The ordeal is where the hero is faced with a challenge where he metaphorically dies and is reborn. the rebirth when the hero knows what he must finally do where he or she is brought to the brink and comes out unhurt. This is the end of the movie but where the story and hero change is some way.

i can relate to the ordeal because it is usually the most fun part of the stories, usually people favor the ending of a story. I like it when a hero is really challenged it appears as if it is all over. One time i wonder if a movie will ever end at this point instead of happy ending, but then i ask would it be classed as the ordeal by vogler? i also like how it mentions how the hero dies and is reborn because im sure we have all had that dream where you die and just before you do you awake and are in a way reborn. in my opinion i always feel a change and slight relief at this point because it seems so vivid and real just like how vogler describes the hero.

1. What are everyone stories of dieing in dreams?
2. How many times have people felt as though they have come back from brink regarding school work?
3. What was everyone's ordeal during the I-search?
