What the characters seek? The Catalyst (12)

# data[].attributes.body
What does the character seek?

In the catalyst we tear it all down. It's the opposite of good news, and yet by the time the adventure is over, it's what leads the hero to happiness.

At the bonfire, characters reminiscing about old teachers, classes, and events.

"Feels" good and familiar to be home.

Yet, what the characters say vs. what they do.

Contrast/ juxtapose it to what they actually do:

Wanting more from an internship or opportunity, but are they all really ready for that professional world smoke, ridicules, doubts, ambitions, fears, or to share their skills and talents with the outside world?

# data[].attributes.body
Caleb is laying in his childhood bed, outgrown it. He wants autonomy, independence, and to be treated like a man.

# data[].attributes.body
What is this movie about?

The first 10 pages is where we start to plant every character tic, exhibit every behavior that needs to be addressed later on, and show how and why the hero will need to change in order to win.

In a room full of banner, awards, and achievements, Franklin is Mr. Most likely to succeed.

Franklin is often one of the few ethnic minorities, pursing his professional pursuits. . Always smiling ear to ear.

Long term he is seeking professional validation, but this summer he really wants to just put his guard down for the summer, and enjoy life!

# data[].attributes.body
He seeks money that is equivalent to his work ethic.

In the presence of an aspiring artist who is disregarding his beats, and seeking a discount for work that Zayden has spent along time to create.

# data[].attributes.body
A passionate creative, with a book of written words, lyrics, poetry, and prose who, while home for the summer is muting who she really want to be.

# data[].attributes.body
Roxi is seeking attention on the surface, (likes and loves, followers ) and really wants the LA Times internship.

Underneath it, she really is seeking love, and community, that she lacked, and ultimately lost at during the wildfires .

# data[].attributes.body
The act break is the moment where we leave the old world, behind and proceed into a world that is the upside down version of that, its antithesis.

Because the worlds from Act ONE and ACT TWO are so distinct, the act of actually stepping into Act Two must be definite. The hero cannot be lured, ricked, or drift into Act Two. The hero must make the decision himself.

THAT’S WHAT MAKES HIM A HERO, BEING PRO-ACTIVE.

HERU

# data[].attributes.body
The opposite of the midpoint in terms of an “up” or a down. It seems like a total defeat. All aspects of the hero’s life are in shambles. Wreckage abounds. No hope. The WHIFF OF DEATH…All is lost is the place where mentors of to die, presumably so their students can discover “they had it in them all along” The mentors death clears the way to prove that. The All Is Lost moment is where the old world, the old character, the old way of thinking dies.—It clears the way for the fusion of thesis - what was - and antithesis - the upside down version of what was - to become synthesis, that being a new world.
