Epic Poetry and Modern Day Hero
BEOWULF ESSAY
This essay is the comparison between Beowulf and the modern day hero, which I thought that any soldier would be my modern day hero.

The second comparison is how they are both get rewarded for doing the right thing. After Beowulf destroys the monster he gets a boat load of treasure to bring back to his people. The soldiers get rewards for helping out like a lot of money for joining, they get their college education paid for, and they get better jobs later on in their life. The third comparison is how the both get treated with a great deal of respect.
