In the hero’s journey, after he receives a call, he may initially refuse the call. This includes hesitating to answer the call, seriously considering his options, or just plain cold feet. Eventually the hero answers the call after initially refusing it.

At first when I was thinking of what to write about for this homework assignment I could only think of times I refused calls, but then did not answer them later. One example was joining a fraternity. When I first came to IUP fraternities seemed very appealing to me. When it came time to join one, not a lot of my friends were doing it and I decided not to join or at least wait a semester and think about it. It is possible that I may answer this call later, but as of now I have refused it for good.

So I began thinking more about a call that I refuse, but later accepted. Then it hit me. This assignment. We did not have class on Wednesday due to Marlen’s sickness. So I put this assignment off til later. Refusing the call to do it, and later accepting the call by completing the assignment.
