Question

How does the proverbial Russian definition of a hero, "He who hangs on for one minute more," apply to Christopher Reeve? Include examples from the reading to support your conclusion.

Answer 1

Answer:

A person who can continue to fight for something has the hero like quality. I think it can apply to Christopher Reeve because after he injured himself he continued to fight and try again by doing better. He helped himself and kept pushing on. He also became an advoate for people with spinal injuries.

Answer 2

The characters/heroes mentioned have their own flaws. However, these flaws had not brought them down but it served as a motivation for them to pursue their goals and ambitions in their career as heroes.
