Dorothy is caught in a tornado and lands in the Land of Oz. ( B.) A Place To Go: When Dorothy arrives in Oz she finds out the only person the can get her back home is The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, who lives in the Emerald City, and the only way to get there is to follow the Yellow Brick Road.

-Every time a character sets out to do something it's a quest. The idea of a quest has evolved greatly, as literature has evolved.

Quest is a method where a literary work is broken down into five simple components. The five aspect of Quest consists of a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go, challenges and trials, and a real place to go. This method can be applied to a novel by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath because many examples are peppered throughout the story.

In chapter one of “How to Read Literature like a Professor” by Foster, we learn the key elements of a quest. Structurally a quest consists of (a) a quester, (b) a place to go, (c) a stated reason to go there, (d) challenges and trials experienced on the way, and (e) a real reason to go there. According to Foster (pg 3), “The real reason for a quest never involves the stated reason”. The real reason for a quest is self-knowledge, which is why most questers are sheltered, immature, inexperienced, and young. We find this to be true in “Varjak Paw” by S.F Said and Dave McKean. Varjak Paw is a young Mesopotamian dark blue cat who is forced from his home into the streets in order to find a dog to aid him in saving his family. However in literature

In this chapter, the concept of a quest is presented to the reader. Aspects found in a quest include; the quester, destination, stated purpose, trials, and the “real” purpose. An important concept seen in many works of literature is the concept that the real

Response: For the listing and applying the 5 aspects of the QUEST I am going to use the movie Tangled for my example: 1. Our quester: Rapunzel 2. A place to go: the city/castle 3. to watch the golden lanterns they let go on her birthday 4. Challenges and trials: Her mom watching her and taking her home; Flynn Rider being an outlaw 5. The real reason to go: For Rapunzel to meet her parents (King and Queen) for the first time since she was a baby. . . Professors mean when they say, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”, that sometimes you shouldn’t have to look to deep for answers or meanings you need to just take them at face

What is a quest? A quest is a journey that the main character goes on even if they don't realize it at first. During this so called quest the character will find self knowledge almost every time. A quest needs five important things: a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials, and a real reason to go there. Some examples of a quest are “Into the Wild”, “A Worn Path”, and “To Build a Fire”.

The plot structure of a quest usually consists of five elements with the end result being the characters discovery of self-knowledge. The basic organization requires a questor that’s given

When I was younger, there was a time where I endured something in my life. Was when I was in third grade,I endured something called “reading.” I had a hard time reading; I was a slow reader back then, so one of my teachers called my parents and said that your child is having a hard time reading. My parents forced me to read every night, at least 2 chapters each night. Since my parents did this to me, I became a better reader when I hit my 6th grade year.

A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini, takes place in Afghanistan between the 1970’s and early 2000’s. The novel starts with Mariam, a teenager who lives in Herat with her mom and rarely sees her father Jalil. One day she goes to see Jalil, but when she arrives back home she sees that her mother has hung herself. Mariam is forced to marry a man, Rasheed, who is much older than her. In part two Laila is introduced as a young girl who lives in Kabul with her mother and father. However the Soviets bomb Kabul, killing Laila’s parents and injuring her. Rasheed and Mariam take Laila in and nurse her back to health. Rasheed marries Laila and has a child with her. In the beginning, Mariam dislikes Laila, however they learn how to become friends

People can either give up when things are looking down or they can keep pushing and looking for better days. In Thousand Splendid Suns Laila is an example. If you keep pushing and searching for the better days the better days will come. Even though Laila is lied to and loses everything she loves, she keeps pushing and it works out in the end.

Chapter 1- Quests in literature are, in most situations, unrecognizable to the rooky eye. The five points of a quest are: (a) quester, (b) a place to go, (c) reason stated to go, (d) challenges and trials, and (e) the real reason to go. In the movie Shrek, (I know cheesy) the quester is Shrek, the place to go is to rescue

War most visibly affects Tariq, the love interest of Laila. He lost his leg to a landmine when he was very young and walks with a prosthesis. He and Laila use their loss to further their growth as adults and brings them closer together as a couple. Later in the novel however, Tariq actually loses his parents because he has to move into revolting refugee camps running rampant with sickness and crime. This causes Tariq to have symptoms of PTSD at the end of the novel in the form of nightmares. Tariq is a good example for how war affects characters in this novel because he has been continuously affected throughout the whole novel. From the introduction of his character to the last page he is on, Tariq shows immense resilience and endurance.

A Quest consists of five elements: 1. a quester, so to speak, or the person who is on a quest. 2. a place to go. 3. a stated reason to actually go there. 4. challenges and trials on the way. 5. a real reason to go there.

Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage is an excellent example of a quest because it contains the five essentials of one. A quest has to include a “quester,” or person on the quest, destination, stated purpose, challenges faced on the way, and the real reason to go on the quest. The quester in the novel is a young man named Henry Fleming. Henry enlists in the Union regiment during the Civil War in the novel and the destination is constantly shifting in the story due to the change of camps. In the beginning of the novel, Henry’s reason for enlisting in the army is selfish; Henry craves the glory of the Greeks dying in battle and he wants to feel the rush of becoming a hero. Throughout the novel, Henry faces the many challenges with war. The
