Parents/guardians,
please assist your child with today’s homework.
Topic: Is being a hero worth it?
*Classical heroes are otherwise normal
people, except they have a great talent. They often possess an attribute or
quality that distinguishes them from ordinary people, making them a hero.
Sometimes this is great skill, but other times it is a quality of character,
like courage. It's important to remember that classical heroes possess
something others do not have, but are otherwise equal in their worlds. Examples
of heroes are: Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Atticus Finch, Ponyboy,
Rikki-tikki-tavi, or King Arthur.
Superheroes can start out as classical or even everyman heroes. Somewhere
along the way, they acquire power that makes them "super". However,
most superheroes are born with beyond-human qualities. Well-known examples
would be Superman, Spiderman, or Wonder Woman.

Option 1: During the Iraq and Iran war one
of Marjane’s friends loses her father during a battle. Marjane tells her friend that her dad
was a hero. Her friend replies: “I
wish he were alive and in jail rather than dead and a hero.”
Based on what you know about heroes, both fictional and
real-life, write a paragraph giving your view on this topic. Is being a hero worth it?
Give examples from Persepolis, other books, and real life to
make your argument stronger.
