Characters often undertake spiritual or physical quests.
These quests usually begin with a crisis. Write an essay which compares the quests of two characters, once from Crossing to Safety and one from The Moviegoer . Identify the crisis which initiate the quests, how the quests are fulfilled, and what truths about these characters are revealed in the process. Cite evidence from the texts. The perspective of the foreigner or outsider is often revealing.
