Unit 6 Assignment
In the Reading you are introduced to the concept of a Quest Narrative. This is a story of a journey toward a goal. For this Assignment, you will present a quest narrative that uses literary concepts from the Reading, and then demonstrate how you have used them. Consider the Assignment as an opportunity to create a narrative that shares an inspirational vision or mission, and then to evaluate how you communicated that call as a leader. This will help you to see the value of the Assignment as a quality of leadership that will be useful in the workplace and throughout your life.
The Assignment has two parts.
Part I: You will compose a quest narrative from your life. You may write this as a letter to another person considering the same quest. You will aim to tell the person your story and call him or her to action as well. You should be writing this as a leader who wishes to inspire the person reading your narrative.
You must employ at least two of the concepts from the assigned reading on literature, such as a metaphor, image, or symbol.
This narrative may be about your return to acquire your degree, about a decision to change your life or pursue a relationship or career, or about an opportunity to reinvent yourself. The narrative should have objectives, and should give the reader a sense of the impact of your journey -- both on yourself and those around you.
Draw a connection between your journey. You may have taken action without thinking it through, but take this opportunity to analyze the decision as a part of self-awareness, finding your potential, and becoming inspired to improve your situation. What may be the impact of that inciting action and your efforts to go on the quest? Do include the highs and the lows of that quest along with insight into why you kept moving toward your goal.
Instead of a letter, you could write the narrative as a poem, a dialogue, or a work of creative fiction. However, the work must be an original composition for the Assignment, related to your own experience, and offering a call to action toward a reader.
The narrative must be at least 1 page, but can be longer.
Part II: In at least 500 words, you will evaluate the narrative from above.
