Answer 1

Answer: Cultural beliefs of a character or hero in a story can greatly impact their traits, motives, and strength. To begin, let us start with Manjiro. His culture shaped him to be respectful and relatively quiet but also curious. His culture had taught him to abide by rules he would have to follow. He was taught the family line of jobs on his father's side of his family was what he should be, otherwise, possibly not accepted by his family. On the other hand, Achilles’ culture shaped him to be quite courageous and strong, possibly even religious. But as a boy growing with these traits, he had grown to be rather reckless. His culture taught him that if he went to battle he would be likely live a short life. But be remembered as a brave warrior from battle through the generations to come. Although, both of the boys cultures had a similar view on strength, the culture they had grown with still greatly impacted their lives. And to both be remembered for generations to come. In conclusion, culture can affect anyone’s life or beliefs.

Answer 2

Answer:

In both cases we have examples and how the local culture affects the lives of the characters, as both had obvious goals that had misinterpreted results. One of the stories focuses on cultural concepts in religiosity, while the other focuses on family responsibility and the obligation of an individual to follow in the footsteps of parents.

Explanation:

In "Black Ships Before Troy" we are introduced to a narrative that shows the moment when Lacoon tried to prevent the plan that led to the creation and sending of the Trojan horse from being carried out. He tried to warn the Trojans that this plan was bad, but he was brutally killed by sea serpents when he was in Athens. However, the Trojans blamed Lacoon's death on the goddess Athena because they thought she had murdered him for being offended by his position on the Trojan horse.

In "Heart of a Samurai", on the other hand, he introduces us to a boy son of fishermen who wants to be a samurai. However, people do not understand why he has this desire and does not want to follow the work of his parents.
