With the writing of “A Godly Hero", Michael Kazin makes an attempt to change the perception of a deranged man into one of a godly hero. Because of how Michael Kazin wrote…

    Journal #3 A hero, is “a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character”. In Michael Apted's film Amazing Grace, this definition is substantially indicated through major characters in the film in showing their courageous acts towards ending slavery.

    The Anglo-Saxon poem Judith, reveals to the reader a different kind of hero.
