Write about ONE event in the hero's journey, rather than writing an entire biographical story. Consider the hero's journey discussed in earlier in this unit and focus on one stage. The memoir, directly or indirectly, should reveal what traits you believe led to this particular journey and what you think the hero learned from the experience. Remember that this is fictional but should be based on real events. Although the memoir is about one event there may be background information provided leading up to the event and/or after. Here are some examples which you may decide to use or create your own: Write from the point of view of...
Malala Yousafzai receiving the Nobel Peace Prize as she reflects on her journey.
Ghandi starting off his campaign of passive resistance.
Kerry Brodie hearing a story about her grandparents' experience in the war that prompted her to start a foundation.
