Vogler, Christopher. The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers. 3rd ed. Boston, MA, 2007. 107-125.

Summary
Vogler describes in detail the refusal of the call and the meeting with the mentor, two important steps on the heros journey. Vogler does not describe much new information, but reiterates on old information that he has already stated, just in more detail. He also shows different aspects and ways that these two steps can occur that do not fit the cookie cutter mold, however can atchieve simmilar effects.

Reaction
The book, though still interesting and enjoyable to read, has taken a turn from its begining where it was new and a novel idea to the reader. Now it has changed to reinforce those ideas that were presented earlier on in the text. This said, it still provides new ideas and ways of presenting these situations that a writer may not have originaly considered.

Questions
Do all hero's need mentors?

Are there stories in which the hero is seeking or waiting for an adventure, so that there is no refusal of the call?

Do mentors perform better if they are of simmilar or opposite gender, type, etc?
