Every Trip Is A Quest

Quests help guide the player through the ideas of the developer, progressing them through new environments, introduce them to fictional characters, teach them how to engauge in combat, all while masking the experience in some form of narritive. It becomes an [[interactive]] experience for the players to both learn the game and enjoy themselves. In this form of developer led story telling, players are putting thier trust in what the creator of the game will provide for the time spent in game. We go into the game with little knowledge other than what assumptions we may already possess

The five aspects of a quest are ( A.) a quester, ( B.) a place to go, ( C.) a started reason to go there, ( D.) challenges and trials en route, ( E.) and a real reason to do there. “Once you figure out quest, the rest is easy”. The started goal fades away throughout the story line and a new one is created. In the movie The Wizard of Oz the ( A.) Quester is a young, naive Dorothy, who is from Kansas. 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. ( C.) As Stated Reason To Go There: Dorothy wants

In Thomas C. Foster’s guide, How to Read Literature Like a Professor Revised Edition, Foster presents readers with the knowledge that a trip in literature has the potential to become something much deeper, a quest for self-knowledge. Foster lists five very important aspects that every quest will have which are, a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a real reason to go there. The distinction between stated reason to go there and real reason to go there are that typically the quester goes along their journey and discovers an intimate detail about themselves that relates nothing to the stated reason. It gives the quester a better sense

In Chapter 1 the author explains the symbolic reasoning of why a character takes a trip. They don't just take a trip they take a quest. Structurally a quest has a quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a reason to go there. Quests usually involve characters such as a knight, a dangerous road, a Holy Grail, a dragon, an evil knight, and a princess. The quest also involves the character to gain self-knowledge out of taking the adventure to the stated place where he or she is going.

1-3. The main idea of Chapter 1 Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It’s Not) (pp.1-6) can be concluded in the following sentence: every story is a quest that consists of a person that has a reason to go to a certain place with challenges on one’s way which then leads the particular person (usually the main hero of a story) to the actual, or real, reason associated with self-knowledge, because the quest is always educational.

-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.

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.

* Quest consists of 5 things: A quester, place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials en route, and a real reason to go there.

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

From this chapter, In learned that the truth behind all quests is to find self-knowledge. Most of the time, the people on the quest are young and inexperienced, but by the end of their adventure, they’ve found their niche, and completed their mission. There is always a quester, a place to go, a reason to go, challenges and trials en route, and the real reason to go.

The five aspects of the quest are the quester, a place to go, a stated reason to go there, challenges and trials on the way, and the real reason to go there. When I read The Secret Life Of the Bees the quester was Lily, she was looking to go to Tiburon to find out more information about her mother and the past. On her journey she runs away from her father, falls in love, and becomes a part of a family. The real reason behind her journey is to get away from her father and feel connected with a family.

Foster breaks down the aspects of a journey to describe the quester, the destination, the stated reason, the challenges, and the real reason. The character who embarks on the journey, also known as the quester, has a defined reason to do so, whether it is to obtain an object, save one from the lurking dangers, or acquire life-saving knowledge. Along their way to reach their destination, they may encounter various challenges such as a physical barrier, a challenger/defender, or a personal obstacle they must face. Through whatever form it takes, these barriers force the quester to challenge their abilities and beliefs, which ultimately leads to them discovering personal knowledge previously unknown about themselves. Though the quester may have accomplished their stated goal of their journey, they return from their voyage often as a changed person as the real reason for their quest was to gain self-knowledge. After they finish their conquest, the quester realizes that the journey was more important than the destination whether they built upon their relationships with another, conquered a personal fear, or gained new found knowledge about themselves, altering their personality and their identity. Foster believes that every trip is a quest, and the quest is a revelation about one’s

Throughout this semester we have explored a variety of cultures and the recurring theme of pilgrimages and the storytelling of these pilgrimages. While every journey is not the same, each of the pilgrimages has a lesson that can be learned. Two of the main pilgrimages that we explored were, Homer’s Odyssey, and Dante’s Inferno, both of which have a strong lesson about fate, but explore the topic in very different ways. In Homer’s

George Foster wrote a book that further helps the analysis of texts; titled How to Read Literature like a College Professor. In his book, the first chapter is titled “Every Trip is a Quest (Except When It’s Not)”. This chapter explains that every journey is important to the story. He writes that a “quest consists of five things: (a) a quester, (b) a place to go, (c) a stated reason to go there, (d) challenges and trials en route, and (e) a real reason to go there.” Now, in The

Science may have just solved humanity 's greatest quest. ​ Immorality. From Ponce De Leon 's search for the fountain of youth in America to man 's advancement in medicine and technology to not only extend human life but also endeavor to ensure quality of life. There is hope for those that seek the impossible and that is the science of Cryonics. Cryonics is a relatively new technology that lets those who can afford have the chance to be frozen when they have reached the end of their lives for the possibility of a longer life when technology advances. This paper will show the technology and recorded effects of this science by what its purpose is and how scientists use it.
