What is the 'call to adventure' in Moana's story?

The ocean choosing Moana to restore the heart of Te Fiti and save her island.

How does Moana's personality contribute to both her successes and failures during her journey?

Her quick-witted nature helps her make the right decisions, but her impetuous tendencies can lead to impulsive decisions without considering the consequences.

Describe a specific instance where Moana's quick-wittedness helps her overcome a challenge.

Moana saves Maui by coming up with the smart idea to trick Tama Toa.

Explain how the theme of legacy is reintroduced in the scene where Moana sees the spirit of her grandmother.

The spirit of her grandmother reminds Moana that the other reason she is on this mission is to reinvigorate wayfinding back into her people’s culture.
