Vogler pages 127-143

Vogler, Christopher. The Writers Journey. 3rd edition. Studio City: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007
Summary: In this section of the book, Vogler discusses the crossing of the first threshold and test allies and enemies. In the section about the crossing of the first thershold Vogler discusses different ways that the hero can approach the threshold such as being forced. Also Vogler talks about the threshold guardians and their importance. Also in the section we had to read test allies and eniemies. In this section Vogler discusses the importance of the people that surrond the hero.
Reflection: In my opinion the most important thing in this section is the importance of the allies and enemies and sidekicks. This is important because through the relationships that the character has it can show more about the character and how they are as a person.
Questions:
Is there a sidekike in your life who provides comic relief? Who are they and how do they do it?
What are different thresholds that you have had in your own life and how did you get through them?
In more modern movies what are some examples of the watering hole is it still asd important as it used to be?
