In How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster presents a guide to help readers further understand the novels they read. In chapter one, he claims that every trip is a quest, and every quest has five main components. Each journey consists of a “quester”, or a journeying character that lacks self-knowledge. This character has a desired destination and a stated purpose of going there. Throughout this journey, the character experiences challenges and obstacles, eventually learning something new about him or her self. Thus, we learn that a simple trip has a deeper meaning and purpose.

In most stories, the main character has a goal. This goal could be a variety of things but most importantly, they must endure a journey to reach that goal. This journey, is their quest. Foster breaks the quest down into 5 simple parts, “a quester (a), a place to go (b), a stated reason to go (c), challenges and trials en route (d), and a real reason to go (e).” (Foster 18) Part a is simple, the quester is normally the main character, b is the goal, and c being the reason for wanting that goal. C is what the quester comes across in their quest, the “monsters” and hurdles they must pass. Part e is where most stories create their theme. What the quester learns throughout their quest, changes their desire for the original quest. They usually learn a lesson, or gain knowledge that is more valuable and important than the original quest and it changes the character for the better. The Wizard of Oz is a phenomenal textbook example of what a quest is. Dorothy, the quester from Kansas dreams of going "over the rainbow" to somewhere safe where her unkind neighbor won't harass her dog. Dorothy ends up in the land of Oz, and faces many challenges and trails en route. On her trip she meets the scarecrow, the tin man, the cowardly lion, and the wicked witch of the west. Each new character adds a new stress to Dorothy and forces her to make critical

Published in 2008, The Forever War by Dexter Filkins compiles a series of vignettes that detail his encounters as a reporter in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Released a year after, director Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker also examines a harrowing account of the conflicts in Iraq. Both works poignantly present the unbridled violence that plague the region, and the futility of a war embedded within a vicious cycle of retaliation. Nevertheless, the portrayal of vengeance as a major motivating force of the war, as well as the war’s isolating and demoralizing effect on its witnesses, are better achieved in The Forever War. Contrary to the sole perspective of an American Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) team in The Hurt Locker, Filkins includes multiple angles to explore each of the elements portrayed, and ultimately offers a more profound, subtle, and enduring explication than the film.

Most everyone knows what Greg Hardy brings to the table. He was pro bowler in 2013. Hardy’s stacked up an average of 13 sacks and 40 solo tackles in his last two full seasons with the Carolina Panthers. He’s extremely explosive off the edge and has elite hands that make it almost impossible to block him for an entire game. Hardy will be a huge upgrade for the Cowboys. With one position improved in the “rush men” rotation, who else can the Cowboys count on to contribute not only during Hardy’s four game suspension but also for the entire season.

As described in How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, the five aspects of the QUEST include a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a real reason to go there. In The Catcher in the Rye, the quester is the protagonist Holden Caulfield and the place to go is simply his home in Manhattan, New York. The stated reason for Holden to go home is because he got expelled from his school, Pencey Prep in Agerstown, Pennsylvania, because Holden failed four of his classes. The challenges and trials en route of Holden’s quest include his adventures and interactions with people during the few days Holden was in New York before he was supposed to go home after getting expelled from Pencey

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

Contrary to popular belief, unfreedom and slavery was not unheard of in early Canada. In Jacques Viger L 'esclavage en Canada/The Slave in Canada, he presents documentation of "purchase, regulation, and manumissions of Panis (Aboriginal) and Black slaves in early Canada," shining a light on an "often ignored" part of Canadian history . Through his article in the Visions textbook, Brett Rushforth exposes the horrifying ways in which unfreedom was practiced within Indigenous populations in the Pays d’en Haut. While Robin Winks focuses on the reason for the slow emergence of Negro salves within New France, and Kenneth Donovan concentrates on the role and experience of slaves, specifically in Ile Royale. Through their articles, these historians pull back the curtain that shrouds the truth of slavery and unfreedom in early Canada, unmasking the widely accepted deception that Canada was slave free.

In the first chapter of How to Read Literature like a Professor, Foster gives an example of a quest by making up a story about a boy named Kip. On the way to the supermarket to get some white bread, Kip encounters various difficulties including a German shepherd, the girl of his dreams hanging out with someone else(Karen), and his deeply humiliating bike in comparison to Tony Vauxhall’s Barracuda. After Kip reaches the store, he decides to lie to the Marine recruiter about his age in order to get away from his current way of life and the fact that the society he lives in revolves purely around wealth. Here Foster points out that a quest has already began and further enhances the concept of it by listing the five things that it consists of: the quester

A romantic drama film is a genre that explores the difficult aspects that come with love. The plot usually includes two people that are in love that can’t be together the way they want to be due to obstacles. The obstacles in a romantic drama film can include a family 's disapproval, to forbidden love, to one 's own psychological restrictions. The Notebook is a movie based on a best-selling novel that was written by author Nicholas Sparks. This is a love story that is composed of a series of obstacles between two young people that are madly in love with each other. It perfectly fits and displays the criteria for a successful romantic drama film because it includes the complexity of love, and elicits emotions.
