I Advice - 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) - An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)
Trying to sell your home without “Great Curb Appeal” is an uphill struggle. Without pristine curb appeal, you are telling prospective buyers you are not a motivated seller.Prospective buyers will see you as an unmotivated seller. Buyers will low-ball their offer, knowing they have lots of deferred maintenance, and they haven’t even walked through the front door yet. In fact, you’ll be lucky

Income tax is payable by any individual who earns more than a specific sum of money as salary or profit. It is liable only to people earning above a certain minimum limit and people earning less than that are exempted from paying any kind of income tax. Income tax lawyers specialize in computation of income tax and deal with various issues pertaining to standard tax deductions and rebates applicable
The 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.
[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].
THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY
THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).
d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

*****Losing a part of the Old Self. Gaining a part of the New Self*****
Before entering the First Threshold, the Hero loses a part of his Old Self and gains a part of his New Self. Often some tangible symbol or behaviour will be lost and gained. In An Officer and a Gentleman (1982), Zach leaves his bike behind and tries to cover up his tattoo. In Raging Bull (1980), Jake's wife leaves him.

Think about this – if you open your email box and there are 100 emails from marketers, are you going to open all 100? Probably not – you are going to open a few of them. How are you going to choose which to open and which to not open? Think about how you do it. The way I do it is I read through the subject lines, keeping an eye on the sender, and I generally open only a few (3-7) from people whom

One of the many blessings that I have received as I have learned this business is that I have learned about article marketing.When I first got started, I tried many forms of traffic generation, and I was actually able to achieve a lot of traffic. But the traffic wasn’t what I call effective traffic.To me, effective traffic is traffic that wants something from me. Effective traffic is t

It’s hard to imagine that you earn money with a credit card if you manage your debt correctly, but ever since Egg got the jump on its competitors with the 0% Egg Card on Christmas Day in 2000, you can actually make money with credit cards – balance transfers is how you do it!Of course, today nearly all of Egg Card’s competitors have had to follow the lead of Egg and not only offer introductory
*****Call to Adventure*****
The Herald delivers the Call to Adventure. This implicitly means that the Hero must confront one or more of his Challenges. In Titanic (1997), Rose meets Jack and she must first confront her Inner and Outer Challenges. In Alien (1979), they must land on the planet (ultimately a Greater Antagonism).
Fascination. The Hero is often fascinated by the Call. It does, after all, relate to his (or her) own Transformation.
Time Pressure. That the Hero must embark is usually a matter of urgency. In Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana must quickly embark on the adventure before Hitler finds the Ark. In Titanic (1997), this is when the ship leaves.
Implicit Call. In The Shawshank Redemption (1994), Andy Dusfresne doesn't know what his Call is when he is sent to jail. But it is inferred - he must escape this place eventually. In Alien (1979), no one knows they are even on a journey until the Alien pops out of Kane's chest.
Willing or Unwilling. It is here that we are informed whether the Hero is intrinsically for or against the Journey and Transformation. In Star Wars (1977), Luke really wants to follow his Father's footsteps, leave Tattooine, become a Jedi and fight the Empire. In Alien (1979), everyone really would have preferred waking up on Earth.
