Think of Asiemut.  The title of the film comes from the French word for azimuth, a compass bearing.  Think of Henry David Thoreau journeying into the woods of Camden and the forests of his mind.  Think of the Pilgrims heading out across the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean to an unknown world, faith and fear in hand.

Inner and outer worlds come together in our journeys and our stories.  They can be our own stories as we tell them, or they can be the stories that we make up.  Either way, the process of living and moving, whether it's across the country or world, or merely around the streets of our own small communities, gives us the opportunity to grow and change.  We change outwardly, but more importantly, we change inwardly.

If you are reading A Walk Across America, you know that Peter Jenkins changes with each day as he journeys across America.  He meets new people.  He sees new places.  He questions his assumptions, his doubts, his fears, his prejudices.  He grows as he journeys outward and inward.  With each step he moves.  The work of it works change in his perspectives and wisdom.

If you are reading The Scarlet Letter, you know that Hester Prynne changes with each day as she walks the streets of Boston (then a small, muddy outpost on the edge of the frontier) and inhabits her small cottage on the outskirts of society.  She meets the same folks, she confronts the prejudices of the townsfolk, the bitterness of her former husband, she interacts daily with her daughter, who alternately joys and pains her.  She questions her assumptions, examines her doubts and fears.  She grows as she moves forward with her life.  The work of it works change in her perspectives and wisdom.

For both groups of readers, find a way or ways (think creatively!) to represent and/or show the transformation that these characters undergo.  Think of specific scenes in the books.  Also, incorporate specific texts/quotations into your projects.  The Text! Take us to the text!  There's no minimum or maximum on numbers of scenes, but you should include enough for your project to make sense.  Your audience should, at project's end, see how these two undergo a metamorphosis from doubt and fear and anger and self-pity to confidence and ability and humility and strength.

(Here's a side thought: How will your story say the same of you?)
