Heroes

                                        Heroes

     A hero is a brave and strong person, who is also very human.  A hero feels fear
and every other emotion that we do.  A true hero is a person who does something great
and does not expect to be given any thing in return.  A hero does something that effects a
large number of  people.  A hero thinks more of others than he or she thinks of him or her
self.
      The characters in the poem, "Women", and The Odyssey are both epic heroes.
Odysseus is a strong and brave man, but I think he lacks one of the major characteristics
of a hero.  I think he thinks of himself more than of others.  I think the characters in the

cries a couple of times in the story, showing sensitivity.  Overall, Odysseus is a brave and
caring human that is a little too conceited  He is also very smart, like in the book when
Odysseus said, "He thought he'd find out, but I saw through him."(on page 750 line723.)
Also like most epic heroes Odysseus is physically strong, like when Odysseus said, "I
rammed it deep in his eye."(on page 751 line 843.)  Odysseus rammed a large spike into
the beast's eye.
     The poem "Women" was a great description of black women in the mid 1900's.
They had many of the traits that Odysseus had, like in the poem the author wrote, "How
