Lesson 4

[leigh kennicott]

By George, I may be figuring this out at last!

Here is my reply to class 4a:

What I learned doing this assignment is that I have two even sides of two coins and a betrayer might shake things up. Just don’t know quite what to do with that information yet.
1. Tell us your transformational journey logline.
a. Janelle wakes up from a coma and realizes that she has somehow slipped back to her previous incarnation, a banker whose ways don’t fit into her current mental state.
2. Tell us who you think might be your Change Agent and give a few sentences about how that character fits the role. Also, include: – Their vision: – Their past experience that fits that vision:
a. The change agent is Calvin who lived back in 1928 until he jumped off a building because of the Wall Street Crash. Because he is now inhabiting the body of a woman, he not only must come to terms with his new sexuality, but teach her to accept her masculine side.
3. Tell us who you think might be your Transformable Character(s) and give a few sentences about how that character or characters fit the role.
a. Janelle is the transformable character, not only out of necessity, but because she has a deeper mission to bring wholeness to those around her.
4. Tell us who or what you think might be The Oppression and give a few sentences about how The Oppression works in your story.
a. I’m going to use the current financial goings-on to draw a parallel between the Wall Street Collapse and our own impending situation in order to provide an environment that is familiar for both aspects of Janelle/Calvin as s/he deals with warring personas.
5. Tell us who you think might be your Betraying Character and give a few sentences about how that character fits the role.
a. I’m not able to answer this question yet, because so far, I’ve worked out a struggle that takes place within one body, but in two parallel time periods. Not sure what kind of character might be employed to make another decision other than integration, which is my theme.
