Homework: Parents/guardians, please assist your child with
today’s homework.
Topic: Is being a
hero worth it?
Option 1:
*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.
Task:
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?
