Neila Laurore Professor McCauley ENC1102 27 January 2023 The 100 Book/Show Different Use of The Quest Archetype In the 100 book and the series, readers can quickly find that they are quite different. This is shown all throughout the book and show. One heavy example of this is with the plot archetype quest and how they use it in the beginning, middle and end of the book and show. To begin, the book and show use the quest archetype differently in the beginning. From the book, The 100, “‘Get where?’ Clarke grunted, trying to free herself from the guard’s grip. ‘We’re clearing out the detention center today.

After a heavy conversation with him Clark punched him, and he was upset and amused. He then told Clark that she and the other prisoners were going to be sent to earth. To elaborate, Clark is told that she and 100 other prisoners are being sent down to search on a quest by the ship’s doctor. According to the source, The 100, “Clarke, you are not being executed. You're being sent to the ground, all one hundred of you” (“Pilot” 02:02-02:05). Clarke had run away from the gauds that were in her cell into the hall. There her mother saw her and went to console her. Her mother then tells Clark that she and the other prisoners are being sent to the ground and that this is a chance for not only them to live but also so that the other people can live because the ship’s life support is failing. In other words, Clark in the show is being told about the quest that she and 100 others are about to embark on by her mother. From the text, “Kass …show more content…
According to the text, The 100, “Wells glanced up at the darkening sky. He had no idea if the Colony lost contact with the dropship when it crashed, but he hoped that the monitors in the bracelets were still transmitting data about their blood composition and heart rates. They must have collected enough information to prove that Earth was safe, and would surely begin sending groups of citizens down soon” (Morgan 172, 173). The kids on the dropship have been on Earth for quite some time and are just trying to survive. While creating graves for the dead, Wells stares into the sky and wonders if their Colony knows if Earth is safe or that they are alive. He also hopes that his father and best friend, Glass, would be among the people that the Colony would send down. In other words, Wells as well as the others are trying their best to survive so that hopefully everyone on the Ark can come down to Earth. From the source, The 100, “We need to launch those flares ASAP if we have any hope of saving those people” (“Twilight's Last Gleaming” 29:47-29:51). The kids on Earth are trying to let the people on the ark know that Earth is habitable before they kill 320 people so that they oxygen can last up on the ark. To elaborate, the 100 want the people on the Ark to know that they can come down to Earth and that they do not have to kill anyone to survive up there. According to the text, “Kass Morgan,” “‘Will

Just like Foster has stated “any aspiring writer is probably also a hungry, aggressive reader and will have absorbed a tremendous amount of literary history and literary culture.” It also explains how readers or professional readers can identify this amount of symbols, memory in a book or story.

When watching movies or reading books, you may notice a pattern or similarity in the stories. This is called an archetype. The hero’s journey is one example. Authors have different ways of expressing their thoughts in their hero’s journey. The Hobbit is about the journey of Bilbo Baggins and 13 dwarves who journey to get their treasure back.
For example, one archetype that is represented throughout all stages of the Odyssey is the hero archetype, which is played by Odysseus himself. Other archetypes that represent major parts of the Hero’s Journey include the mentor archetype which is represented by the Goddess Athena, and she is introduced in stage 4 of the Hero’s Journey, meeting the mentor/supernatural aid and stage 6 tests, allies, and enemies which are represented by the cyclopes, the sirens, Charybdis, Scylla, King Aeolus, etc. As we can see every single archetype in this narrative correlates with crucial pieces of the hero’s journey. Therefore, if Hero’s Journey wasn’t there to organize the story and the archetypes weren’t present to differentiate each character the narrative would not be as clean and engaging. Both pieces are very important when it comes to shaping this story and the characters within

In the novel The Pillars of the Earth, many characters exist with malicious, corrupt intentions. Whether it be in the pursuit of self-gain, or the desire to destroy others, these antagonists constantly cause havoc and destruction. The only thing that comes in between these antagonists and the rest of the population is a few unique individuals. Multiple characters in the novel are characterized as the hero archetype, and although each one operates in their own unique way, they all contribute to the betterment of society, while protecting the people around them. The common trait that defines these individuals as hero archetypes is that they all undergo a quest at some point in the story, which involves a separation, transformation, and return.
