Create a 10- to 16-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with
detailed speaker notes about a contemporary hero or heroine’s quest.
Refer to the University of Phoenix Material: Help With Microsoft®
PowerPoint® Assignments for additional help. Pick a contemporary story
in the form of a novel, movie, or video game that is inspired by a
mythological epic or journey of a hero’s quest. Briefly describe the
plight of the main character–the feat(s) he or she must execute for the
benefit of society in the face of challenges. If you have not enjoyed
your chosen source recently you should do so to ensure you are able to
competently complete the required components below. Identify the villain
and describe his or her characteristics and role in the hero’s quest.
Identify other archetypes within the story. Briefly describe these roles
in the hero’s quest. Identify in detail each of the steps the hero
takes in the quest: separation, initiation, transformation, and return.
For more information on quest stages search on “Monomyth” in Wikipedia.
Research the mythological and cultural origins of the story. Explain
parallels between the myth(s) and the contemporary story it inspired.
Analyze any mythological symbolism, metaphors, and attributes pertinent
to the story. What real life elements might these items represent?
Explain the conflicts between personal desires and community
responsibility represented in the myth and the contemporary story.
Relate these to the conflicts and choices with which ordinary humans
struggle. Explain why these human conflicts retain relevance through the
ages. Utilize the visual power of a presentation and place images on
most if not all of the slides. Format your citations and references
consistent with APA guidelines. Consider creating one or more slides for
each requirement above, each with a title that highlights the
requirement (e.g. “Symbols” and “Metaphors” and “Attributes.”
