Arthur's Journey Call To Action
Arthur’s Journey, call to action, and Main Task: Arthur Dent goes on a long physical journey through the galaxy with his companions Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, and Marvin. Arthur’s call to action came from his friend Ford Prefect. Ford Prefect knows that the Earth will be destroyed and tells Arthur to come with him to a bar. There Ford reveals that he is actually an alien from a far away planet. And before the planet is destroyed, Ford takes Arthur to safety by hitching themselves to a spaceship. There Ford convinces Arthur to stay with him in space and become a galactic “hitchhiker”. As one can see, Ford influenced Arthur to start his journey of survival in space by saving Arthur’s life and taking Arthur along with him. Arthur’s main task becomes for him to travel to the planet Magrathea and find out what happened to the Earth and to find out the secrets of the Earth that no human before him knew about.
Pictures: The Picture of Space represents Arthur’s journey because it shows that Arthur must travel through space. The Picture of the key unlocking the lock represents Arthur’s Main Task which is to “unlock” the hidden secrets of the Earth.

space, a place that only a few humans have been to. Also, Arthur is introduced to aliens and alien technology. This is important because Arthur becomes the only human (except Trillian) that has access to Aliens and their spaceships. In short, Arthur’s enter into another world is when Ford takes Arthur into Space.
Pictures: The picture of the interior of an alien spaceship represents Arthur’s entry into another realm which is him boarding a spaceship. The picture of the UFO picking up someone represents Arthur entering into space (the another realm).
C.
“Rock Bottom” Moment: Arthur’s rock bottom moment happens when Arthur is aboard the Vogon Spaceship. Arthur and Ford have hitched away on this ship to escape the Earth being destroyed. The Vogons are horrible creatures who hate hitchhikers. The Vogons find the Hitchhikers, imprison them and bring them to Jeltz (the leader). Jeltz orders them to be thrown off the ship. The two try to talk their way out, but it does not work. And Arthur and Ford are thrown out of the airlock into outer space. This is the lowest point for Arthur and Ford because here Arthur believes all hope is lost as their only plan to escape has failed. Here they are also imprisoned by the vogons and are on the verge of death as they are thrown into space.
Pictures: The Picture of the person in jail represents how Arthur and Ford were imprisoned by the Vogons. The picture of the bully bullying a another kid represents how the Vogons are the “bullies” and Arthur and Ford are the people being bullied. This picture shows how Vogons have all the power and Arthur and Ford have no hope of surviving because the Vogons are too powerful. The picture of the man drifting off into space shows how Arthur is thrown into space and is left there to die.
D.
Turning Point: The Turning point comes right after Arthur and Ford get thrown out into space. Right as they were about to die, a space ship comes and rescues them. It turns out that the alien who rescued them is Zaphod Beeblebrox, the president of the galaxy and Ford’s friend. This is the turning point because Arthur and Ford resurrected with renewed hope. When they are rescued, they realized that they will not die and that Zaphod will help them and not try to kill them like the Vogons did. This gives them hope to continue on their journey. This moment is also the turning point because the situation turns into Arthur’s favor. For instance, before it seemed that Arthur was going to die, however now Arthur’s life has been saved by Zaphod and Arthur can perform his main task.
Pictures: The picture of the bird escaping the cage represents how Arthur and Ford have escaped the Vogons. The picture of the person in the helicopter rescuing someone represents how Zaphod saved Arthur and Ford and gave them renewed hope so they can continue their journey.
E.
Final State: The final state for Arthur and Ford is when Arthur and Ford have escaped the police on the planet Magrathea and are back on their ship.
This is the final state for a couple of reasons. First, Arthur has completed his main task. He has learned the secrets of the Earth and has traveled to the planet Magrathea. Next, Arthur has returned from his journey more wise. Before his journey, Arthur had no idea of the existence of aliens. Now, he has learned much about the galaxy and about the Earth as well. Finally, Arthur has recovered from the destruction of Earth and has made his new home in the Heart of Gold with his new
friends.
Pictures: The picture of the open lock represents how Arthur has completed his main task and has unlocked the secrets of the planet Earth. Next, in his final state Arthur has come back from his journey wiser. And since owls represent intelligence, I used a picture of an owl to show that Arthur is wiser than he was in the beginning of his journey.
