Consider what it means to be a hero today and the traits and behaviors of king arthur, don quixote, and sundiata in the stories of this unit. which of these three do you think would most likely be viewed as a hero today? which of these three would least likely be viewed as a hero today? explain why you choose the characters you did by citing examples of their traits and behaviors from the works in this unit and discussing the values and expectations that exist in today’s world.

If I consider the rules that determine the correct attitude of a hero today I choose the character of Arthur King to represent them.

Why?

His life wasn´t easy. Arthur was an orphan who works on the English court.

Starting from a very difficult circumstance to end in a nobel position is a characteristic of today´s heroes.

how he became a hero?

His first great act was taking off a sword of an anvil after none of the English soldiers could do it.

Arthur was determined, he always dreams with a better future. The apparent limitations were not a difficulty for Arthur who tries to demonstrate his strength.

How did he continue?

Arthur Kings was a very just monarch who concerned about his town needs and duties. His sword - Excalibur- was representative of legitimate power. Its capital, Camelot, was an idyllic place of equality, justice, and peace.

The Knights of the round table

Arturo found this order whose duty was to conserve the peace and the order. The knights protect the villagers from bad people. The group discuss around a Round Table, which seems to indicate that Arturo was the first among equals.

The ability to use power in a fair way is a very prized virtue today.

The Quixote couldn´t be a hero today because his principal characteristic is that he´s crazy, he has no connection with real life. In today´s world, mental clarity is very necessary to survive, with that kind of illness, The Quixote will probably live in a mental hospital, surrounded by people with disabilities.

In certain circumstances, the Quixote hurts people who surround him. For example, the owner of the estate where he passes the night. Also, he hurts himself trying to fight with invisible enemies. The last we can mention that he damages public property like the windmills.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
