Tuning Out…

February 3, 2008

  The writer’s strike is still going strong in the U.S. So, I am advising the next best thing…

Do We Need Heroes?

March 10, 2007

        It was timely that I was lent Heroes: A History of Hero Worship because I am all drummed up to view the film 300 on the Spartans.Otherwise, I would not be interested at all by Hallet's book. I was glad to be in the mood because based on the list heroes featured :

  • Achilles
  • Alcibiades
  • Cato
  • El Cid
  • Francis Drake
  • Wallenstein
  • Garibarldi
  • Odysseus 

  I would not pick it up because these are names I would find in school (sorry John D :P ). Yet, due to my new found dreams to be a Spartan, I started skimming the book and was quite impressed by the subject matter. The focus of the book is not a summary of heroes but rather to define what a hero is.The author achieves this through comparing and constrasting the heroes stated above. Also, she starts of with definition that heroes don't necessarily need to be good. Heroes are rather blots on humanity that seem to break the status quo and go beyond the matrix. In my opinion, I somewhat agree to this definition. However, I am more likely to believe that heroes are great not because they break the norm but due to fact they know the rules so well to the point that they know how to bend it.

   I recommend the book to humanities students and teachers who want to get some fresh ideas for class or learn how to make a proper comparison paper.
