After reading Edgar Guest's poem "The Things That Haven't Been Done Before" and "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head," Arnold made this claim about what it means to be a hero: The courage to make new discoveries and travel an uncharted path is what defines a hero. Which piece of textual evidence best supports Arnold's claim?

B.  "The things that haven’t been done before

Are the tasks worthwhile today;

Are you one of the flock that follows, or

Are you one that shall lead the way?"

Explanation:

Edgar Guest was a British American poet whose poem "The Things That Haven't Been Done Before" where the speaker delves into the things not done before and how these first-time experiences are what teaches us valuable lessons. The poem propagates the idea of never shying away from doing the things that people haven't done yet.

The claim of a hero as someone courageous enough to "make new discoveries and travel an uncharted path" is also seen in the Greek myth "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head". This theme is best supported by the lines from Guest's poem-

"The things that haven’t been done before

Are the tasks worthwhile today;

Are you one of the flock that follows, or

Are you one that shall lead the way?"

the use supports it by making it seem like the dictators are not bad to the people when the truly are.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
