For this assessment I choose the movie: Accepted
Story Arc
- You -> the protagonist: The protagonist of the story is Bartleby Gaines
- Need -> Something isn’t right: The protagonist Bartleby did not get in to any collage
- GO! -> Crossing the threshold: Since he did not get accepted at any collage he decided to make his own collage acceptance form where he got accepted to S.H.I.T collage
- Search -> Road of trials: A lot of people applied and got accepted to his ‘fake’ school. So he had to design a program of learning for these students of his school, this is different then a normal collage, here the students got to pick what they want to learn and Bartleby’s school started to look like a real school (but in a chaos way)
- Find -> Meeting the goddess: As time goes by he finds a way to make his school work without teachers and without specific classes. He went to the real collage next door to get inspiration but did not like how the educational structure was designed
- Take -> Meeting your maker: Since S.H.I.T is not a real school an other school was complaining about this and called the police, therefore they had to go into trail to see if they could become a new school.
- Return -> Bringing it home: After the trail he got a year of trial to see if his school would work out.
- Change -> Master of both worlds: After the trial you see that a lot of the chaos that the school was before became more of the order, so a little bit of both worlds.

- Monica: Lover, intimacy
- Abernathy: Jester, pleasure: He connects everyone by having ADHD and saying everything he thinks
Timeline before the story
Before the story were his years in high school. During his high school years he got into a club. In this club they already did illegal things. he made these fake ID’s for everyone with the group members of his club where they had a photographer and someone doing finances etc. He was the one getting all the costumers to the club place and designed the whole idea. Therefore they made quite some money during their high school life. His grades where average and just enough to make his years.
