Today, we discussed on the topic of heroes. At first, I presumed a hero was a person who did an act of justice, but after some exercises my definition changed into a much lengthy version where a hero is someone who not necessarily have a special skill or talent who perform a selfless act(s) towards other individuals and society without expecting a from or reward or payment. Personally after all of the activities I feel that a hero can be both famous and unsung, whether it's a valiant act or it's an everyday job that makes people's life easier, they are are all considered heroes. Comparing to the studied poem and song: "First They Came For The Jews" and 'Superman's Song" there are some connections between the definition and the meaning of both poem and song.
In the poem "First They Came For The Jews" after reading the poem I understood that a hero would not let those unjustly acts go unpunished, he/she try to solve the problem as best as they could and not just sit idly by while other's suffer. In the song "Superman's Song" it became clear that a hero's life may not necessarily be glamorous or famous, that heroes don't do it for the money or the fame, a true hero does it out of the intrest to help others in need and that is what I feel what a true hero really is.
A lot of good points but I think that you should add more of your opinion other than that I don't see anything that is wrong with what you said.
ReplyDeleteGood reflection. You have clearly learnt something. Maybe doing some further analysis on the poem and the song would make this post just that much better.
