Essays / Help on thesis statement Subject: Greek heroism [13]
Here's the topic:
Compare the theme of heroism as seen in readings throughout this semester. In particular, how did different cultures define what it means to be a hero? Pick four characters (each from a different work) and assess which one best and least exemplifies the heroic standards for his/her given culture and time. Which do you find to be most heroic and least heroic overall? Make sure to provide the specific reasons and textual examples from which you derived your conclusion.
The paper is supposed to be 5 pages, and is due in a couple of weeks. I need to write a thesis and outline and have it to the prof in a week.
Here's what I've got:
Heroes:
Job- Hebrew
Achilles- Greek
Gilgamesh- Mesopotamia
Don't know about the 4th one. . . :(
Where do I even start to make a thesis about this topic? We hardly did any work with them in high school and I tested out of all my English classes, so I'm not sure what to do! AHHH!!!
