- In “Journey to the West”, Monkey faces many challenges and in “Bartleby the Scrivener”, the narrator faces many challenges as well. Do these challenges follow any heroic journey model we’ve discussed? Why?

For the first question, Preston narrows the thesis question down to one model while using 2 texts. This is effective because no 2 texts we have read so far are similar and also no 2 characters are even remotely the same, thus this question focuses a lot on analyzing and exploring how they could both follow a similar heroic journey model. I think this would result in not only creativity but also great detail to explain how they are both similar.
For the second question, it is a bit similar to the first since there is a comparison between 2 characters. However, this time the question focuses on the challenges and asks if they follow a journey model. The challenges that the characters in the many texts we have read are not the same, thus the answer would also need to be creative and detailed as to prove how the challenges follow a similar model.
