In The Neverending Story, Atreyu is faced with one of the most difficult decisions of choosing whether or not he'd like to complete the mission for the Childlike Empress. Carion the centaur is the messenger from the Childlike Empress to talk to Atreyu about the mission. There were pressures that made Atreyu think before he would make a full decision. Like, he is only a young boy, he must embark on this journey alone with no help from others, he'll probably never see his friends again. I think the reasoning for Atreyu to choose to take on the mission was because it seemed exciting to him. He didn't have a family to miss, and if he completed the mission for the Childlike Empress he'd be a hero to all of Fantastica.
My prediction:
I think his choice of taking on the mission will impact his life and future greatly. I think in the end Atreyu will succeed in the mission and be recognized as a hero all throughout Fanstastica. Of course all the challenges along the way will effect his future for good and bad but that is what makes his character grow and learn along the way.
You put a lot of details into your posts, good job! You covered everything that the question was asking.
