@ Jane I’m finally getting around to working on Day 2, and of course, your answers that I know you’d posted are gone due to the technical glitch that happened. I’m so sorry, I was looking forward to reading and responding to your Day 2 and 3 work. Please feel free to repost if you get a chance (hope you still have a copy of them)!

Thanks Elisabeth! Glad you’re still hanging in there with the class despite the glitches. I think I did copy my assignments to a document, so I’ll go ahead and repost. Appreciate you asking. All best with Assignment No. 2!

What I learned from Lesson No. 2: That defining my protagonist’s character arc is difficult
OPTIONAL TRAITS
Protagonist: Dara Phan
Character Arc: Bitter/grudge holding to accepting her own shortcomings. From victimhood to being able to acknowledge fault and forgive. Learning that getting what she wants out of life will come from her ability to forgive.

Mission/Agenda: Get Pat to commit to doing TV roast battle against her
Secret: Her attachment to ex-boyfriend can wig her out/take her down
Values: independence, dominating with humor
Attitude: cavalier
The defining event in their life: Pat blocked her from doing a comedy show that would have led to her big break in comedy world.
Motto they live by: “Can’t I ever catch a break?”
Main issues in life: overcoming defeat, making up with arch enemy

Anything else you think important: NA
Antagonist: Pat McCarthy
Character Arc: from self-isolating to making a tried and true friend
Fear/Wound: that she can’t be forgiven and doesn’t fit in with other people
Mission/Agenda: to return to her job as a probation officer/status quo
Secret: Pat relishes relationships based on humor
Values: rule-abiding, caring for animals
Attitude: self-protective
The defining event in their life: losing job over a mistake
