Call To Adventure

The call to adventure is the first step in the monomyth cycle. In the call to adventure, a character is called to a task that is not part of their daily life. There is usually a problem in the world and the main character is called to fix it. This is when the main character is asked to complete a task in the second world, the one they are not familiar with.

For example: In Superbad when Seth is asked to get booze for a party. In American History X Derrick is called to help Danny out of the Neo-Nazis. Also in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle they have to go to White Castle.

Another example : When in Star Wars and Ben appears and says to Luke “ go to Dagobah (other plant) and meet Yoda."
