Mentor stage is important for the hero/heroine Discussion

As you may have noticed from the Vogler readings and the interaction and AVP content of this and previous modules, the “Meeting with the Mentor” stage is important for the hero/heroine because it helps to set up what he or she still needs to learn. However, just like some of the other stages, this one might happen (a.) either at the beginning of the hero’s journey for the threshold has been crossed, or (b.) in the special world, throughout the initiation phase and the road of trials, or (c.) in both places, or (d.) it might not happen at all. It would be rare if it (e.) finally occurred during the return phase (after the return threshold has been crossed), but anything is possible. Identify, explain, and discuss the details of the “Meeting with Mentor” stage of the monomythic journey in Beowulf by Anonymous. Cite passages (use quotations and MLA parenthetical citations with page/line numbers) from both Vogler and Beowulf by Anonymous to fully support your answer.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
