Macias Brave And Unafraid
What I gather from reading part one, Macias believed that everything happens for a reason and that if it was Gods will for the Federales to die at that time they would have given him no other choice but to kill them. Also, by standing up to the Federales he showed that he was brave and unafraid. I am interested to see if his faith in Gods will and his bravery continues through the rest of the book.

Cincinnatus left Rome and continued his life on his farm. One reason Cincinnatus should be recognized as a hero was that he won a war in 13 days. If Cincinnatus did not step in, Rome would be destroyed and many people would have died. Most heroes are pictured as people who win battles and save lives. The second reason that Cincinnatus should be a hero was that he was selfless. Cincinnatus turned down the offer to be a dictator for life because he wanted to help his city instead of himself.

    In “The Odyssey”, Odysseus is a hero because of how he got all the suitors out of the house. I believe that he is a hero for that because of the way that they just moved in and tried to marry his wife. Also that they were eating all of his animals fruit and other things also that they were drinking all of his wine. They were also mean to his servants and to son which made him mad at them. Then when he came they did not know and they were treating him like that he was nothing and that he should die. So that is the reason why he had to kill all of the suitors.…

    As the great Arthur Ashe once put it “True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” The epic, Odyssey by Homer highlights the determination of a certain character to return to his homeland and family after many years at war. However, with determination comes important decisions to do what is right and what is best for all. In most cases, a hero must take some kind of guidance from his acquaintances.
