Ordinary World: Eragon is just a poor orphan living with his farmer uncle and cousin struggling
Call: Saphira's egg hatches for eragon making him a dragon rider. also his uncle is killed
Refusal: Eragon decides to run away
Mentor: Brom finds him before he leaves and decides to train him in the ways of magic and swordsmanship
Threshold: Eragon, brom, and saphira decide to hunt down and kill his uncle's killers, the ra'zac.
Tests, allies and enemies: Eragon becomes proficient in both magic and swordsmanship. The fight with urgals, encounter of durza, meeting murtagh and arya. the Varden.
Approach: finds out about the attack on farthen dur. makes preparations for war. saphira and eragon get armor. fortify and prepare for battle.
Ordeal: confronts durza, fights and wins with help of saphira and arya.
Reward: safety of farthen dur, no more shade.
Road back: mop up rest of urgal forces. prepares to go learn with the elves.
Resurrection: (starts to go over into the next book) learns of his scar from durza, severely cripples him. dragons remove for him.
Return with elixir: (since this is a 4 book series this might not be the best example) receives elven strength and agility. further instruction in magic and sword play. becomes more powerful.
This is what i thought of when we started learning about the hero's journey. The fourth book was pretty dang good. my only question is why eragon doesnt just raise the dragons on freakin shark tooth!!!! Either way, the film is the worst thing thats happened so far. next to officer thurston becoming a cop
