Post your questions here for review. You might want to bring that grid of heroes we started on early in the term. Big and small questions are welcome – we’ll try and touch on everything as we prepare for the final exam.

Do we need to know names, dates, background information regarding literatures? (ex. Beowulf, Henry V, Saga, Buffy, etc)

I guess going back to one of our earliers questions in this course, what exactly is a hero and is there one definition one could use to describe all of them. I mean our individual definition of hero changes with every generation (as was said in class), we’ve gone from the confident hero like Beowulf to the conflicted one such as Peter Jackson’s Aragon, but do both those type of heroes hold similar aspects to them we could use to define a hero?
as for the review, i was hoping to go through some sample exam questions. I’m not a hundred percent sure of what to expect from our exam or how to study.

I don’t really know what is so heroic about the WW1 poems. I would not have thought of them as having anything to do with heroes until the professor brought this topic up.
Yes, I see soldiers are contemplating their roles in the war and the social context of the war, but aren’t these critiques of the situation at that time? What’s so heroic about them?

I am still a little confused about what the essay portion of our exam will consist of. Can you elaborate more on this portion of the exam? Any tips on what we should focus on when reviewing the material that would relate to the essay portion?
