The future hero is first given notice that his or her life is about to change.
 * 1. The Call to Adventure**

The story's exposition introduces the hero and soon the hero's normal life is disrupted. Something changes; the hero faces a problem, obstacle, of challenge.

 * 2. Refusal of the Call**

The future hero often refuses to accept the Call to Adventure. The refusal may stem from a sense of duty, an obligation, a fear, or an insecurity.

At first, the hero is reluctant to accept the change. Usually this reluctance presents itself as second thoughts or personal doubt. Hesitation, whether brief or lengthy, humanizes the hero for the reader.

The hero begins the adventure, leaving the known limits of his or her world to venture into an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are unknown.
 * 3. Beginning the Adventure**

The hero finally accepts the call and begins a physical, spiritual, and/or emotional journey to achieve a boon (something that is helpful or beneficial).
