culture affect the hero's in both of the stories, we see an example in black ships before troy where in Achilles culture the person has to be brave and strong to be a hero. you also see it in heart of a samurai where in manjiro's culture you will have to provide for your family to be a hero.

Answer 2

Answer: The pic is what I put for the first part then for the rough draft I put: Manjiro and Achilles cultures helped to shape them in different ways. Lets start with Manjiro. His culture shaped him to be respectful and relatively quiet but also a curious person. His culture taught him that he would have to follow the family line of jobs on his fathers side of his family. Achilles culture shaped him to be rather courageous and strong, maybe religious, but it also shaped him to be rather reckless. His culture taught him that if he went to battle he would most likely live a short life but be remembered by generations to come. Although, both of the boys cultures had a similar view on strength.

And for the final draft:
