For the first one, the movie is Star Wars. The archetypes are the following: The Mentor, the hero, the evil-villian that is ultimately good, the hero's servents, and the quest. Essay I: Set up the story, introduce the archetypes one-by-one. Describe a little bit of the story piece by piece. Explain how the archetypes are related to each other in the story. I.e. does "The Quest" affect the "evil villain that turns out to be good" ? For the second one, The book I would choose to write a summary of a sequel would be Siddhartha, e.g., Siddhartha II. This would be a book about Siddhartha's son, simply called Junior for my sake in the now. The son's journey would mimic his father's, because live is flowing in such a manner. Essay II: Simply write about Siddhartha's life, except in the form of his son's... After he vanished into the forest, Siddhartha Jr. decided he, indeed, needed to do something. This was one of his first clear thoughts. He approached the city from where he was born, and knew that there would be maids there to tend to his every whim. He'd have to bathe and learn, and read, etc, and do everything they say. But who would he, Siddhartha Jr., actually obey, if not his very own father? Siddhartha Jr. sets off on a journey to find another reason to live because he felt as if he knew the life he would have stepped back into at the city. (Or, alternatively, he would grow tired of the city life, maybe as a young adult, or alternatively as a very old man) For the third one, I would say "almost completley". The examples I would use would be: Siddhartha and his son's rebellion,, and Danny vs. Reb Saunders -> Danny does not want to be a rabbi, and the conflict is developed because Reb wants his son to be Essay III: I think I have this one down, just remember to talk about Siddhartha and his son's rebellion, and Danny vs. his father's treatement of silence to force him into a certain cultural role.
