Terri Potts Transformational Journey
What I learned doing this assignment is that it gives me a chance to breakdown the story for clarity and structure.
Who is your hero?
My hero is Paul or Saul of Tarsus. A Roman citizen, he comes from a family of tent makers. Paul is well versed in the Jewish faith and is studying to become a Rabbi. Paul is in opposition of “The Way” and is committed to persecuting Christians.
The character arc in his transformation:
Internal Journey: Paul is struggling with why people are believing in “The Way?” Being devoted to the Jewish Faith he wants to stop the people by persecuting them.
He goes to the extent of getting permission from the high priest to continue his torment by going to Damascus to carry out his plan further.
External Journey: On his way to Damascus, Paul encounters difficulties in carry out his plan. He comes to understand why “The Way” is a significant part of life and realizes he was wrong all along. This not only changes his journey, but his life as well.
Old Ways: Determination to banish “The Way” no matter what it takes. His anger and diligence was for all the wrong reasons.
New Ways: He learns about “The Way” and understands the significance of why people are following it. He takes a life long journey to enlighten people to join “The Way” and for is sorry for all of the torment he’s caused. He then finds himself being persecuted for the same reason that he persecuted others.
