A Characterisc of a HeroThe ‘American Heritage High-school’ dictionary defines a hero as a man, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great courage and strength. Is that what a hero truly is? Does he need only strength and courage? Does a hero not need a mind? Any man can be strong and brave, but dose that mean he is a hero? Nay, a hero must have more. He must be quick-witted and always think with his head and never his fear. A man must be clever (mentally bright, superficially skillful or witty) to be considered a hero. A hero has many characteristics but one of the most important is to be able to think his way out of trouble. Not that a hero shouldn’t be physically strong, that’s always good, but sometimes you can’t fight your way out things without getting yourself . . .
I have never really used cleverness in my life as Odysseus has. Sure, some school papers I’ve written might have had something clever in it, but that’s not the same kind that’s needed in a hero. He liked them as dinner, lunch, and breakfast. He shows that quality time and again in ‘The Odyssey’. Odysseus was losing his men rapidly while they were trapped in the cave. But then Odysseus and his clever mind thought of a way to trick the Trojans. What they saw when Polyphemus came home was a huge surprise. He and his men sharpened a stick, and shoved it into Polyphemus’ eye while he was sleeping. If that doesn’t take a clever mind then I don’t know what dose. Suddenly an idea popped in his head. A hero must keep his head up and believe that no matter what there is a way out of any situation. Common topics in this essay: | |||
