How are heroes depicted in literature and film?

English
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]3 years ago
7 0
In ancient literature, heroes were usually described as males who sacrificed themselves for the benefit of others. They also held certain characteristic such as can be seen through the chivalric code. They were expected to do great deeds of glory to even be counted as a hero in their society. This is why literature such as King Arthur were so popular in their times.
Although heroism in modern can still be represented through the lens of a superhero or war hero, it is generally given a lot more lax, and usually a lot easier to obtain. Unlike in the times of the knights, most people aren't expected to slay dragons, or rescue a damsel in distress. The theme of the "everyday hero" is certainly a huge difference between the two. In modern film, heroes are usually portrayed as the average Joe, sort of character, with flaws and vices just like anyone else. Heroes are now seen as obtainable characters with decent stances of virtue.

Bas_tet [7]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

The author's purpose is to do what?

1. explain the importance of Gothic architecture.

2. show how Venetian architecture is different from Gothic architecture.

3. describe Venetian architecture.

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Answer:

The author's purpose is to:

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Explanation:

The author states his purpose very clearly right at the beginning of the passage:

<u>"I will try to give the reader of this article some idea of the real history of Gothic architecture, not just of Venice, but of universal Gothic."</u>

The author will discuss the nature of Gothic architecture - what this style of architecture consists of. He makes it clear that he will not focus only on the Gothic of Venice. He will talk about it universally. He will indeed show how far Venetian architecture went in terms of this style, but this is not the main purpose of the study. Having that in mind, the best option is number 4:

4. show the nature of Gothic architecture.

Online school is beneficial to the student because it gives them a less stressful environment to work in which improves their performance in school.

Online school is detrimental to a student’s performance because it does not give them as many learning opportunities and damages their social skills.
