Prompt 2: Literary Service Announcement (LSA) Assignment
You have had a relationship with archetypes since a young age-
Carl Jung might argue this is true since your conception. In fact,
many movies and sitcoms use archetypes as part of their humor
(think of the hero in "Spiderman," or the villainous Joker in
"Batman"). Throughout this unit, you have identified common
archetypes across ancient and modern texts and visuals.

Answer:

Title: "The Shadow of a Hero"

Setting: The story takes place in a small village, surrounded by dense forest and high mountains.

Plot: The village has been plagued by a terrifying monster for many years. The villagers have tried everything to defeat it, but nothing seems to work. The monster comes at night and takes people away, never to be seen again. The villagers live in fear, but they have no idea what the monster is, or where it comes from. One day, a young man named Jack comes to the village. He is a stranger, but he claims to have the power to defeat the monster. The villagers are skeptical, but they are desperate, so they decide to give him a chance. Jack sets out to find the monster and he discovers that it is a giant dragon. He is determined to defeat it, but he soon realizes that he can't do it alone. He needs the help of the villagers. He rallies the villagers and together they build a trap for the dragon. They lure it into the trap and they kill it. Jack becomes a hero, and the villagers are saved.

Characters:

Jack: The protagonist of the story. He is a young man who is determined to defeat the monster. He is brave and resourceful. He is an archetype of the hero.

The villagers: They are the people who live in the village. They are scared of the monster, but they are determined to defeat it. They are an archetype of the common people.

The dragon: The monster that plagues the village. It is a giant dragon that comes at night and takes people away. It is an archetype of the villain.

Figurative Language:

Metaphor: "The dragon was a shadow that loomed over the village."

Alliteration: "The dragon's deafening roar echoed through the dark forest."

Point of View: The story is told from a third-person limited omniscient point of view. The narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of the characters, but it only focuses on Jack's perspective.

The villagers lived in a constant state of fear, trapped in the shadow of a monster that loomed over their village. They had tried everything to defeat it, but nothing seemed to work. They had no idea what the monster was, or where it came from. But one day, a young man named Jack came to the village. He was a stranger, but he claimed to have the power to defeat the monster. The villagers were skeptical, but they were desperate, so they decided to give him a chance.

Jack set out to find the monster and he soon discovered that it was a giant dragon. It was a formidable creature, with scales as hard as steel and eyes that shone like fire in the dark. Jack was determined to defeat it, but he soon realized that he couldn't do it alone. He needed the help of the villagers.

He rallied the villagers and together they built a trap for the dragon. They used all their ingenuity and resourcefulness, and they finally succeeded in luring the dragon into the trap. The dragon was caught, and the villagers killed it. The dragon's deafening roar echoed through the dark forest, and the villagers knew that their nightmare was finally over.

Jack became a hero, and the villagers were saved. They celebrated their victory, and they gave Jack a place of honor in the village. From that day on, Jack was no longer a stranger, but a member of the village. He had become one of them, and he had shown them that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.

The villagers learned that fear is an archetype that lurks in the shadows, waiting to take hold of us. But they also learned that there is an archetype of a hero that can help us to overcome our fears. Jack was the hero in this story, but he also was an archetype of the hero within us. He showed the villagers that they too, were capable of overcoming their fears and that they too, could be heroes.

From that day on, the village was a place of peace and hope, free from the shadow of a monster. And the villagers knew that they would always have Jack to thank for it.

Learning Focus: I can independently read and comprehend grade-level texts [CCSS.ELA.11-12.RI.10]

Directions: The article you are about to read is what inspired Jon Krakauer to write the novel, Into the Wild. This article, when published, developed and inspired more mail and response than any other article had in the magazine’s history.

As you read the article, complete the chart below, using evidence to support your claims.


Question/ Commentary

Your Answer

1. James Gallien is not the first person to meet Alex (aka Chris) on his journey, but he is the man that brings him to the final destination of his journey where Chris’s body is later found. He noticed that Chris did not fit the typical look of a hitchhiker, and seemed to have an educated air about him. What worries Gallien about Chris? Why does he try to dissuade him from beginning his journey?



2. On p. 2, Krakauer provides some insight into Chris’s character and personality. What type of ‘young man’ was Chris? What inspired him to begin his journey? What were his goals?





3. On p. 3, Krakauer provides insight into the day that Chris was found in the bus. In paragraph 19, Westerberg states that he believed that Chris “did too much thinking”. Why do you think that Westerberg sees this as a bad thing? What does he truly mean by this statement?



4. On p.4, Krakauer provides us with clues about Chris’s character. What do these clues tell us about Chris? What is your opinion of him, & what did he believe was important in life?

TIP: Leo Tolstoy is a Russian author who wrote the novels Anna Karenina & War and Peace. He was a moral thinker, social reformer, and a believer of a literal interpretation of social values.



5. On p. 5-6, Krakauer discusses the final postcard that Chris sent Westerberg. Do you believe, as some people did, that Chris really entered the wild with the intention of dying? Why/ why not? Also, what was the relationship between Chris and Westerberg?



6. On p. 5-6 Krakauer makes a personal connection to Chris. Explain it. What does he mean when he states “That’s a very different thing from wanting to die”? (paragraph 39)

TIP: Hubris is the Greek word for excessive pride. This is often found as one of the qualities of a tragic hero according to the Greek philosopher Aristotle.



7. On p. 7, we are given more information about Chris as a teenager, and how his cross-country teammates respected him. What did his workout ‘Road Warriors’ foreshadow about his future life and travels?



8. On p. 8, Krakauer discusses how Chris changed in college. What do you think drove Chris to become an introvert? What aspects of college life changed Chris, and how did this impact him in his future choices?

TIP: Introvert: a person characterized by concern primarily with his own thoughts and feelings



9. On p. 10, Krakauer compares Chris to monks. What similarities does he believe Chris shared with them? What does this illustrate about Krakauer’s opinion of Chris as an individual?



10. On p. 11, Krakauer describes Chris’s first days after arriving in Alaska. Briefly describe his first weeks in seclusion there, and the obstacles he faced.

TIP: Extremist: a person who goes to extremes, especially in political matters.

Aesthetic Voyager: concerned with the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty.



11. On p. 12, Krakauer delves into the final moments of Chris’s journey. Do you think that Chris was truly ready to go home? What do you think he meant by the entry “Family happiness”?



12. Toward the bottom of p. 12, Krakauer explains Chris’s decisions and the notion of him being extremely obsessed with the idea of being self-reliant. Do you think that Chris took this idea to the extreme? Why or why not?



13. On p. 13-14, Krakauer explains Chris’s final days, and his succumbing to starvation. Look again at the verses of the poem that Chris tore out of his book. Why do you believe he focused on these specific lines? What do they mean?

Read the excerpt from "Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True" and answer the question.



[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.



[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town’s animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).
