High School Musical, are they really "All In This Together?"

      I've been in San Francisco for two weeks now, reluctantly looking over at "How to Read Literature Like A Professor," on my desk about every two seconds. Seeing as Sundays are our only day off from non-stop dancing I thought I would peek at my book and maybe do some homework. As I dived into the assignment I found myself surprisingly liking the book (because trust me, I have never liked any summer reading books). I started to relate the idea of the quester to myself and the hard time I had with starting my tedious summer homework.
      Thomas C. Foster starts off Chapter One: "Every Trip is a Quest (Except When It's Not)" really engaging the audience by using humorous and relatable experiences. He breaks down the parts of what a quest consist of. Each quest has at least one knight, a super dangerous road, a Holy Grail, a dragon, an evil knight, and the princess. All these things and you've got yourself a quest.
      To tell you I thought of things to relate to chapter one for hours would be a lie but I sure did think about if for a while. My inspiration for this post came fresh from my mind after re-watching High School Musical 2 for maybe the tenth time (don't judge). It's only one of my favorite movies ever so; I'm a bit biased.
      The journey starts out with 5 basic parts, (a) the quester: which in this case is young Troy Bolton. Next, (b) a place to go: the Lava Springs Country Club, the country club Ryan and Sharpay's family practically owns. (c) a stated reason to go there: Troy receives a surprising call that informs him that he has been recommended to the Lava Springs country club and the board would love to hire him. Troy kindly accepts because the need for money for senior year and college but not before he gets all his fellow Wildcats jobs at the club also to join him for the summer. (d) challenges and trials en route: Troy faces the hardships of popularity and the balance of a girlfriend and a job, all the while being sneakily pursued by Sharpay Evans. (e) the real reason to go there: after being dumped by Gabriella and being dissed by his fellow Wildcats, Troy realizes that neglecting your friends for popularity and favoritism will get you nowhere. So, in the end the protagonist does gain self-enlightenment but with the help of his team.
      Foster closes out his case by saying "always" and "never" are not words that have that much meaning in literature. I would have to agree because what if I were to travel two minutes to my mothers elementary school without a wreck or flat tire and my engine dying, is it really a quest according to Foster? There were no hardships or challenges so, how can it be considered a self-enlightening quest?
      There's one thing to ALWAYS remember, "what team?
Wildcats.
What team?
Wildcats.
What team?
Wildcats.
Wildcats.
Get you head in the game."
P.S. this is really in the movie.

P.P.S I hope you realize I could have made about twenty more song puns for the title but I chose the most popular.
