Why we ended with Haroun

There are many reasons for why I feel we ended off the semester by reading this book. Throughout the semester we have discussed many different types of heroes and there different types of roles that they have. In Haroun there are all sorts of different roles and heroes that are being played that relate to what we have discussed over the whole semester. For example, there are mystical heroes throughout the book just like in other novels that we have read and talked about. Also the relation to the anti-hero goes with Haroun and Mudra, which also relates to all of the anti-hero we have talked about. Lastly this novel also relates to the hero cycle, which is the biggest focus in the class this semester. In almost every movie or book there is a hero cycle, which appears in this novel. The way Haroun travels and goes through all the steps of the hero cycle is a perfect way to end the semester because everything we have learned throughout the whole semester is put together all in one novel, which I think is a great way to end off the year.
