Today’s modern day hero has similarities and differences than the Anglo-Saxon hero. The two heroes each have different values they believe in. Also‚ they are motivated to fight for different reasons. An Anglo-Saxon hero also fights differently than a modern day hero. An example of this comparison is Bono from the band "U2" and Beowulf. Both modern day heroes‚ like Bono and Anglo-Saxon heroes‚ like Beowulf‚ try to improve their societies‚ but do it in different ways and for different reasons. Anglo-Saxon
