Hero Essay MaxT

Very few people are really good and deserve the title hero. But Two people named Jim Withers and Odysseus really do deserve that title. They both do many courageous acts and have many great talents that they use to help other people. I think that odysseus could improve but everybody can improve.

 

Odysseus may be flawed, he’s has a bit of hubris and sometimes can be selfish, but all in all he’s a hero. He is very selfless and seems to care about his crew more than himself, a time when he showed this is when his crew opened the bag of winds and sent them way off course when they were less than a mile away from home. Instead of jumping off of the boat in despair he kept on defending his crew even if they made that terrible mistake. This occurred on page 19.
