    The exam will consist of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-essay questions. Some of the multiple choice questions will be clearly marked with "circle ALL correct answers"--meaning that each possible answer (a, b, c, d) should be assessed independently. In other words, ask yourself "is A correct?" If so, circle it. Then move onto B. If B is correct, circle it, etc. Also note that NONE of the answers might be correct. Regarding the fill-in-the-blanks, I will ask you to provide the correct term to match a definition. Short essays will be largely pulled directly from this review sheet.…

    Over the ages, many have pondered "what makes a hero?" Over those same ages, we've seen many people try to put forth a single definition as to what defines a hero. One of man's earliest examples was Beowulf, the valiant hero called forth to slay the evil beast Grendel. Beowulf is portrayed as a man with wits, physique, and morality superior to all others. Perhaps the earliest example of another hero would be Jesus, the man Christians claim to be the savior of mankind. Jesus is portrayed as God himself sent down in man form to show others the light of God. According to the Bible, Jesus is the only perfect being, only doing right deeds. The two characters are similar in the sense that they both are seen as heroes who are infallible when compared to most, if not, all men.…
