  • Odysseus the Hero

    1574 Words  | 4 Pages

    The definition of a hero is unique for every individual; however there are several regulations that majority of individuals can agree on. A hero must exhibit traits such as humility, kindness, and courage. Once the candidate expresses hubris, displays cruelty, or retreats from a formidable challenge, he cannot be considered a hero. Lastly, a hero candidate must overcome challenges that defy the odds. He must deliver a gift to society that benefits society as a whole; such gifts can be freedom, liberty, or hope. Odysseus in The Odyssey, by Homer, fulfilled these requirements and rightfully earned the title of a hero. Odysseus is well deserving of the title hero because he has put the needs of others before his own, shown signs of courage in the face of adversity, and displays humility by ridding himself of his hubris.

    Perseus “Percy” Jackson is a twelve year old kid. He is a boarding student in a private school called Yancy Academy. He has trouble with school, because he has dyslexia and ADHD. Percy lives with his mother Sally Jackson and his stepfather who he awfully hate, Gabe Ugliano.

  • Similarities Between Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief

    One of the most important words in the English language – almost all of us want to be it. We want to "fit in" rather than stick out. We don't want to be "different." But, do we even know what being normal means? Percy Jackson is the polar opposite of normal. He accidentally causes trouble wherever he goes, is challenged by his ADHD and dyslexia, and does terrible in school. His father was never around and his mother scrambles to make ends meet to support him and his dreadful stepdad. Nobody (except his mom) believes he will amount to much in life. However, this story proves just how bad the definition of "normal" can be at predicting how successful someone like Percy will be or can be. With a slight adjustment of our perspective and of our understanding of this word, you realize that Percy's greatest weaknesses are his greatest strengths. While being dyslexic and having, a hard time doing well in school, it does mean that he has a gift for reading and understanding Ancient Greek and has great battle reflexes. Maybe normal doesn't have it quite right after all. Whether you, like Percy, believe that the Greek gods are still around or whether you consider their stories to be mythology, this story has something to offer. It helped me understand that there is always more than one way of seeing and of making sense of the world. Sometimes being an outsider means that you have gifts that those around you don't yet fully understand or notice. Although this may sound cliché,
