PRESENTATION OUTLINE
-Call to Adventure-
The "Call to Adventure" began when Cheyenne was first kidnapped by carjackers. She was waiting in the car for her stepmother to get her antibiotics for pneumonia, when suddenly the car began to move. Cheyenne knew as soon as the person came into the car, it was not her stepmother. Although, the carjackers did not realize there was a girl in the car until moments later. Also, the "Call to Adventure" can be towards the end of the book when Cheyenne had to blindly drive a car to safety. She had to use her current knowledge about her surroundings to meet with the police she had contacted earlier. She quickly rehearsed what she remembered. The accelerator was on the right. The brake in the left (201).

-Crossing the Threshold-
The "Crossing the Threshold" began when Cheyenne went from being guided by her guide dog, to having to escape all alone while unable to see. With her guide dog, Cheyenne was guided everywhere all the time and knew that she was very safe. Without her guide dog, she is unsure of her surroundings and the people that carjacked her stepmother's car. This means that Cheyenne had to adjust to her surroundings while using her other senses to escape. "Duke, forward!" she said again. "Hop up!" Phantom would have known that meant she wanted to go fast, but what did Duke know? Then she felt him gather himself. And they were off (163).

-The Tests-
The test for Cheyenne is she has to find an effective way to escape without being seen. This is difficult because Cheyenne is trying to avoid her captors and her captors' ferocious dog to stay alive. Unfortunately, Cheyenne's largest test, is she is trying to escape while being blind, with the sickness, pneumonia. Cheyenne realized she was being kidnapped. But she couldn't see the guy who was kidnapping her or where they were going. Because for the last three years, Cheyenne had been blind (3).

-The Helpers-
I think Cheyenne's helper is Griffin because he kept Cheyenne well fed, and helped her escape. Although, Griffin is also the person that stole her car and accidentally kidnapped her. Griffin's Dad, Roy, is making sure to keep Cheyenne close, so that she won't tell the police, or anyone about the family of carjackers. Griffin feels bad that Cheyenne is held captive because she is just a hopeless young girl unable to see, so he helps her escape. Also, Cheyenne's helper can be her guide dog because he guides her everywhere and keeps her safe and away from any danger. "Griffin's just this kid who lives at the house where I was being held. His father was the one who demanded the ransom money (194).

-Initiation-
Cheyenne reached the "boon" when she successfully drove the rundown car to the police and met with her parents. She overcame her fear of being alone and used her four other senses to guide her to safety. This experience she went through, helped her to become more grateful and realize how much her wonderful guide dog assists her everyday. "Do you have any New Year's resolutions?" Griffin said.
"Just one. Always take Phantom with me." Hearing his name, Phantom looked up and butted her thigh. Absently, she scratched him behind the ears (213.

-Flight and Return-
Cheyenne uses her new knowledge toward her four other senses to live simply, and just as easily as a sighted person would. Also, Cheyenne great fully brings her helpful guide dog to as many places as possible to prevent anymore dangerous incidents that might occur. Cheyenne did not cheat her way to the "boon", so she does not run into any obstacles on her flight home. "Everything would have been completely different if you had your dog." It was hard to read what Griffin was feeling. Was he thinking about what her learned about his dad? Or what he learned about himself? (212).
