Assertion :T​he Odyssey and The Princess Bride, courage is knowing the odds are against you and moving forward anyway. Evidence: ​The princess Bride courage quote– “IT WAS NOT, in point of fact, her Westley that was causing the commotion out front.

Most fairytales have a hero. These heroes will often become successful at the end of the story. They will often get what they want and ride off into the sunset. Most of the time, the hero will follow the pattern of the hero’s journey, Which will ultimately lead the character through the story, and eventually become the reason for success. Likewise, in “The Princess Bride” By William Goldman, the hero’s journey is shown almost perfectly, in the character, Westley. Westley follows almost every stage of the hero's journey. Whether it be rescuing buttercup, being brought back to life, or even losing feeling in his body. Although Westley and buttercup are separated, they will eventually be able to go through any problems that present themselves and unite by way of Westley’s hero’s journey.

Sue Monk Kidd has introduced very complex, yet simple characters that can be easily related to by many readers of the novel. Rosaleen has a tough exterior, but truly cares for Lily Owens, as T.Ray Owens is unpleasant, and considered to be abusive toward Lily. Further on, we have Zachary Taylor, a handsome, charismatic football player while working for August in her honey house develops feelings for Lily, as there’s June Boatright with a heart of gold, yet is distrusting in regards to Lily at first. These character are just a few of the many that entail the plot, and make them relatable. Although, like I said Sue Monk Kidd has developed many character that we can relate to, I believe I relate to Lily Owens the most in “The Secret Life of Bees.”

​In the novel Jubilee, the character Vyry is displayed as a virtuous woman. In fact, this one character exemplifies the spirit of the African American woman. According to an excerpt by Margaret Walker, the author of Jubilee it is evident that the character Vyry possesses these admirable virtues. “Peasant and slave, unlettered and untutored, she was nevertheless the best true example of the motherhood of her race, and ever present assurance that nothing could destroy a people whose sons had come from her loins.” (Walker, p. 486) I believe this quote means no matter where you come from, nor your background, that doesn’t decide who you are, or who you become. You choose the person you want to be. Nothing

Ambitioso also promises “a trick to set thee free”, whereas Spurio wants him dead so that he has fewer rivals. The Duchess was angry on the Duke for not saving the life of her son and wants revenge on him as well. However, I notice the Duchess seems to be in love with Spurio, and push him to also revenge on the Duke. Later in the story, the other nobles decided to kill Duchess’s son if the court was showing mercy. The play had a really amazing hook, it made the audience really engaged in the action and it had a sense of humor. Lastly, the overall mood of the
