Host’s Questions ** (You may use these, but modify them to match your character’s responses.) Ulysses was smart, witty, determined; he also seemed to have women fall in love with him wherever he went! What special qualities did X have and what were the benefits? Ulysses was trying to get back home to Penelope and Telemachus, returning to his kingdom. If you look a little deeper, you could probably say he was trying to make up for all the losses in the war. What about X? What was his/her big picture goal? Ulysses ran into a lot of trouble—for example, Poseidon was angry at him from the start and caused no end of mischief. What about your character? Gods, pseudo gods and other mortals helped Ulysses. If you look a little deeper, some wanted to help him right away; others had their reasons for holding back. Who helped your character and why? Going to war brought Ulysses out of his comfort zone. But then he went to the land of the dead—that was a turning point for him. How about your character? Well—if you had lost all your men, and your last ship was down to a splinter, you’d think of quitting too—especially since the sea you needed to get home on was ruled by a god who hated you! What was your character’s low point? When Ulysses got home and saw his son, he was filled with new strength and confidence that he could get his life back. What “boost” did your character receive? When the suitors were all killed and Penelope and Ulysses were reunited, it all seemed worth it. Ulysses was back where he should be. What about the end of your character’s story?
