Writing prompt Final draft write a compare and contrast analysis of how culture shapes of heroes in heart of a samurai and black ships before troy has to be 150 words Plz help me

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

In "Black Ships Before Troy" we can see Lacoon's attempt to prevent the construction of a wooden horse to invade Troy, he wants to free Troy for this invasion and for that reason he tries, repeatedly, to warn the Trojans about the Greeks' intentions is killed by sea snakes before doing this. This death is seen by the Trojans as an interference from the goddess Athena, for having doubt of the representation of peace that the horse presented. In this case, culture has a strong role in the perception of people who have come to believe that everything is interference from the gods.

In "Heart of a Samurai" we are introduced to a boy who wants to become a samurai, but he belongs to a family of fishermen and it is cultural in the region that people follow their parents' profession, which prevents the boy from becoming a samurai. The boy eventually becomes a samurai, but that took time because he had to go over cultural concepts.

Answer 2

Answer:

Culture has a significant impact on heroes. For starters, it influences how a person or character perceives a particular situation or idea, as well as their point of view on a variety of ideas and topics. Next, it has an impact on how the hero is portrayed in the story. Third, it influences how a character reacts to an idea or situation.

Culture has an impact on heroes. We see an example of this in 'Black Ships Before Troy,' where in Achilles' culture, to be a hero, you must be brave and fight. This is also evident in 'Heart of a Samurai,' where Manjiro's culture dictates that in order to be a hero, you must provide for your family.
