Assignment I - Every Trip is a Quest


City of Thieves by David Benoiff

a. (A quester) Lev Benoiv, a citizen of Red Russia, and Koyla Vlasov, a court-marshaled soldier in the Red Army.

b. (A place to go) The unlikely duo do not have a specific location to go, but more of a specific object in an unknown location.

c. (A reason to go) Lev and Koyla, are hoping to save their own lives by finding a dozen eggs for a greedy Russian Colonel.

d. (challenges and trials) Lev and Koyla encounter bitter cold temperatures, savage people, gnawing hunger, and most of the German army.

e. (A real reason to go) Unbeknownst to the pair, the Russian Colonel is no need of eggs. He merely wishes the pests gone. Therefore the real reason Lev and Koyla become questers is in the hope that they will perish in the Russian winter.
