The Hero’s Journey through the lens of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

WriterSpark: Business, Creativity, and the Craft of Writing

Episode 10

Have you looked at The Hero's Journey through the lens of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief? If not, you are in the right place because that is exactly what I do in this podcast.

One of the best ways to really begin to internalize the steps and importance of The Hero's Journey in writing is to analyze books and movies that use the story structure. Disney and Pixar movies offer particularly strong examples of this story structure in action. Watching movies and breaking down the Hero's Journeys is one of my favorite pastimes!

In this episode, I look at Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (the movie) and follow Percy's Hero's Journey. Percy, as a protagonist, follows the steps of the Hero's Journey so perfectly. The power of three is also a huge element, which I'll discuss in another podcast, so look for that coming up.

Stay tuned for more great tips and tricks from authors, and for more Hero's Journey analyzes.
