Using ALL three of the assigned works–Gods of Jade and Shadow, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon–identify, analyze, and explain the significance of a thematic connection between all three texts.

What are the authors saying about the theme, and how is it demonstrated in the text? What can we take away from this

IN EACH BODY PARAGRAPH, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST THREE QUOTES FROM ALL THREE SOURCES. THIS MEANS THAT EACH BODY PARAGRAPH SHOULD INCLUDE 1 QUOTE FROM GODS OF JADE AND SHADOW, 1 QUOTE FROM HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, AND 1 QUOTE FROM CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON.

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

Without limiting yourself to the main characters, how do three of the characters from the various texts forge their own paths to become heroes?
What role does patan play in helping or hindering the success of the hero?
Does rebellion help or hurt the success of the hero?
What roles do mentors (or family) play in the development of the hero?
How does forgiveness allow the characters to reach their full potential?
How do the obstacles in the stories help the characters to transform or become more than they thought they were capable of?
