A Journey is the act of traveling from one place to another. The travel can be literally from one location to another, or it can be from one job position to another, etc.

In literature, regarding characters, a journey usually transforms a person. THEY ARE DYNAMIC. (think about Macbeth and Lady Macbeth).

• Have a realization
• Physical change
• Mental/psychological change -
