8. The Reward

8. The Reward

Once the hero has moved beyond the ordeal after careful preparations, they are rewarded with something that they truly need. The hero can be rewarded with love from another, a new appreciation of their home or family, or a newfound respect for themselves. The reward can also be something more tangible: money, material goods or other such 'valuable' items. In either case, the hero gets 'paid' in some way for accepting the journey and seeing it through regardless of the doubts, tests, and enemies he or she has faced.

YOUR TASK TODAY IS TO . . . Write a short organized paragraph response with textual support in which you make a connection between this book and the reward stage of the journey.  

HERE IS YOUR PROMPT: In a book you have read this semester, try to figure out what the character's reward has been as they reach the end of their journey. (Sometimes the reward is something that the character needs rather than wants - so watch for this).  Identify and describe the reward the character receives and then make a comment on whether you believe the reward is appropriate for the journey the character has undergone.
