Odysseus is not a hero because he hasn’t done good things to make him deserve to be called a hero. Yes‚ he has done good things but then he has done some awful things to.

So the main reason Odysseus is not a hero is that when athena told him that there are suitors in his house eating all his food and livestock he just decided to kill every single one of them so did his

While reading the book‚ I came across an important observation of Mr. Rusesabagina. He stated that “facts are almost irrelevant to most people.

The question is asking how can a person make a difference in history. The importance is if something would happen then would you act as if Oskar did?
