At the heart of most good myths or tales lies an adventure that results in a coming of age experience for the hero or heroine. In Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Belle sought a world much grander and more interesting than her simple provincial life in a French village. Other examples from literature are listed below.

Choosing a character from the list, read the story and then imagine yourself to be the hero or heroine. Then  write a journal about your experience.
