If you’re on a hero’s journey, what happens when you return?
There are many more episodes in Pepper & Carrot that show Pepper’s transformation from “the idiot orphan of Squirrel’s End” to someone who will be seen as a hero. If you would like to read more of the story, you can find it online just by searching for the Pepper & Carrot webcomic. In this lesson, you’ll read the last two episodes in the series, which show the last stage of the hero’s journey―the return. As you read, look for details that might represent the hero’s attempt to help others using her new skills.

Question
How are Jonas and Pepper alike in the way they handle the hero’s return?
Like Jonas, Pepper chooses to do things her own way, even though it’s not exactly what the military leader wants. Both Jonas and Pepper do what they think is best for others, even it’s not, technically, what people expected of them.
