I was attracted by the graphic of "The Hero's Journey" used to advertise the product, but it's not included in the package. Maybe you can add it to the product. :)

Hi Katie,
Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to create one of my own and add it, because I'm not sure about the copyright of that one I posted. When I looked at it again, I started to wonder about that, so I just took it down. But, will let you know when I post one of my own. Thanks again for contacting me and for your helpful feedback. I appreciate it.
Many blessings,
Chris

How many questions does this test include? Thanks

Christie Olstad (TpT Seller)
Hi Reagan,
Thanks for your question. The Test has 36 questions: 6 matching, 16 multiple choice, 7 character quote identification, 6 t/f, and one short answer/essay question about symbolism. I gave 1 point per question and 10 for the final essay, but you could change point values. Best, Chris
