Ian The Amazing SUPAH MAN!

     Ian the hero in my story has many archetypal hero qualities. Ian in the book Shattered is innocent, willing, changes and grows, selfsacrifice and reluctant. He exihbits these characteristics as he goes on the journey of his life many times. One of the times he says " i'd tavelled no more than a dozen steps when I had second thoughts" (Eric Walters, Shattered, page 3). To me this shows Ian's reluctance. The black man on the picture below to me shows Ian as he works at the kitchen named the club serving food. To me this represents self sacrifice and willingness because he takes time off his fun life to help out and is willing to do it. This is why Ian is a hero.

Ian The Woundorus Character Archetype

    In my book Shattered by Eric Walters my character Ian in my opinion exibits some characteristics of a hero. Some of these characteristics are fool, changing and growing, self sacifice, and, reluctant. Ian exibits all of these archetypal characteristics. Ian is a fool because he made the choice of almost failing english class. He is changing and growing because he sort of has a hidden love for home less people that grows and one he didn't have at the begining.Ian has self sacrifice because he sacrifices his time, effort, dignity to research on the computer, interview a soldier, and work at the homeless soup kitchen just to pass his civics class.Finally, Ian is reluctant because he didn't want to volunteer at the soup kitchen in the first place and wasn't sure about it.

     "I'd travelled no more than a dozen steps when I had second thoughts" (Eric Walters, Shattered, page3). I chose this quote because it proves that Ian is reluctant. Ian was reluctant to cut through the park because it was a dangerous neighborhood and the park is also dangerous at night.These are a few archetypal characteristics of Ian
