Post 10: Comparing Modern Epic Heros

After reading a few of my classmate's post, here are 2 that stuck out to me: One was Shrek and the other was Katniss Everdeen. Both of these characters are heroic in their own ways. Both characters go on a journey that make a change in their world. However, Shrek's acts are more revolving around himself while Katniss' acts are selfless out of love for her sister. When it comes to my chosen character, Oh, I think he may compare more closely with Shrek. Both are characters going onto a journey for the better of themselves (for the most part.) This does not make either character less of a hero though.
These 3 characters are similar to classic epic heroes in the sense that they are all brave and make a huge change without that even being their drive for doing whatever it was that they were doing.
These characters are all heroes because they took it upon themselves to make a change.
