Week 3 Tips - Heroes Working Together

Most stories have more than one hero. Here are some typical hero setups:

The Hero and Sidekick

E.g. Shrek and Donkey.

One hero takes the lead, but is assisted by his or her trusty sidekick. The sidekick is usually less skilled or skilled in different ways to the hero.

Sometimes writers make their sidekick cleverer than the hero, because that can make people laugh.

The Hero and His Friends

E.g. Harry, Ron and Hermione.

In this scenario, the hero lakes the lead but has a pair or group of friends who help throughout the story.

A Group of Heroes

E.g. The Famous Five

A group of friends work together to save the day. No one hero stands out as the best. All the heroes have different skills and abilities.
