Vogler, Christopher. “Looking Back on the Journey” . The Writer's Journey : Mythic Structure for Writers Third Edition. Studio City, CA: Michael Wiese Productions, 2007.
Summary
In this section of Vogler, he talks about the role the different sections should play in creating the story. He states that a person should not follow the structure rigidly and that the story turns out better if it is not followed closely. He emphasizes the importance of following the needs of the story and the needs of the audience to determine the structure of this story. He goes on to make his point shown by explaining the structures of such movies like Titanic and Lion King.
Reaction
I did not like this section of the story; it was pointless. Vogler was reiterating what he has previously mentioned in the stories, he was not teaching anything significantly new. While he used well known movies to get his point across, he could have gone just as easily without this section.
Questions
1)Are you a fan of Titanic, do you think it makes a good story?
2)Do you think the symbolism in the Titanic is significant to the movie?
3)Do you consider the first three starwars films more cheerful then the most recent three?
