Today you will concentrate on the stage of the journey: MEETING THE MENTOR
Start by finding a SYMBOL for the mentor online. What is a symbol? A symbol is an image or sign that represents something of greater value. For example, what is a dove a symbol for? What does the image of an owl often represent? The symbol you choose should represent the role or the purpose of the mentor. Place this image somewhere in your post. Be sure to add a link to the original source of the image. Do not select a hand as your symbol. We will be using this on our own class mural.
This week's blog post is meant to help you further connect to this stage of the journey:
Start your entry by describing the role of the mentor in general. Go back to your handout for the stages of the journey to help you with this description. (Remember that a mentor can be willing or unwilling.)
THEN: As the body of your blog post answer the following questions:

THEN: As the body of your blog post answer the following questions:
1. Who plays the role of the mentor to your main character (pick one character to discuss)? Which three important characteristics does their mentor have? What specifically does this character help your protagonist do or achieve? Ultimately - HOW significant is the mentor in the journey of your character?
(IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT HAVE A MENTOR . . . yet - you can also discuss why they might NEED a mentor and discuss the qualities that their mentor would need to have to help the character do or achieve something...)
2. Make sure that you use at least ONE DIRECT quotation from your novel to help you support your thinking. Following the direct quotation, be sure to add an in-text citation (Author, Title page).
