\ncreated them, and so heroes vary as widely as cultures do. However,
\nthere are certainly common threads and themes while discussing what
\nmakes a hero. For your paper, you will be exploring one trait of a hero<\/strong>
\nin a complex and nuanced way. You will build this complexity by
\ndiscussing two heroes who possess it – and one hero who does not. <\/p>\n\n
\nbe shared by several heroes we read about (Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Eowyn,

\nask you to choose a thesis and prove it thoroughly, while this essay
\nasks you to break away from your thesis to create a deeper definition of
\nheroism. Because it might be confusing, I have included a summary of a
\nsample essay below. (Note: This summary shows you the progression of
\nthought I am looking for. Your essay should follow a similar logical
\npath, but should be a full five paragraphs, include quotations from the
\nstory, etc.) <\/em><\/p>\n
\nremoves Humbaba’s head and hangs it on a tree branch, and Eowyn slices
\noff the large, scaly head of her enemy with a sword. This act of
\ndecapitating your enemies seems to be a consistent trend among epic
\nheroes and tells us a good deal about what kind of hero they are. A hero
\nmust be confronting their enemy face-to-face and dominates them
\ncompletely by decapitating them – this shows bravery, capability, and
\nthus seems to be the “noble” way to kill your enemy. However, the
\nhobbit, Merry, destroys the Black Rider he faces by stabbing it in the
\nback; this is an underhanded method, relying on the element of surprise
\nrather than the physical power of the hero. Thus, Merry certainly seems
\nto lack the “nobility” of the grand, armored heroes of the other tales.
\nWhile this distinction sets Merry apart as a unique hero among the
\nothers, the end is the same: he defeats the threat he faces.<\/p>\n
\nthe Unit (Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Eowyn, Merry, Sundiata, Odysseus). <\/u>You
\nmust use quotes from the text for at least two of the three heroes, and
\na total of at least four quotes throughout the paper. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
