    Victoria  Escamilla 9/30/18 Prompts: How does the Pixar story spine apply to the text we have been examining? How does the  Pixar story spine apply  to “The Epic of Gilgamesh”?             The Pixar story spine applys to the text we have been examining because, the hero’s journey usually starts off with something like “Once upon a time there was” or “ One day”, this is because the hero’s journey usually starts off at the very beginning when the hero was a young child, or when their about to find out something about themselves, which triggers their journey to start.

This could change the way I learn because, since I’m so used to to taking out a textbook and writing down my notes I won’t have to do that anymore now it’s going to be a new experience and I’ll have to adjust to this. could you as a stu...
