The King Of Mazy May Analysis

Improved Essays
In this story a young boy becomes the leader and a king. Everybody likes him for what he did. At only 14 years old he becomes the King of Mazy May. This is why.
In the story the King of Mazy May Walt is heroic because he is not like normal boys. Walt is different from others. He has never seen a long line of cars or an elevator. Walt has never had a pair of shoes on his feet and he is not used to getting new things such as clothes. Instead he wear’s moccasins and a moose hide coat. Walt also can shoot a moose 300 yards out and can lead a pack of dogs on a trail. I think this makes him heroic because he can do things that most teenage boys cant, such as lead a pack of dogs on a trail. Also Walt doesn’t care about the clothes

When the Kings Come Marching…

    We all have our personal heroes that we like to compare to others. Mine is Walt Disney in comparison to Odysseus, king of Ithaca. Odysseus is from an island in the Ionian Sea in Greece, “Ithaca is an island in the Ionian Sea in Greece, which was an important setting in one of the most famous myths of ancient Greece, the Odyssey (Ithaca, 2017).” And Walt Disney is from Hermosa, Chicago, IL. Odysseus is a typical hero we all think of when we hear the word hero on behalf of he faces challenges and uses his Machiavellian and attractiveness to pull him out of trouble, but Walt Disney is a hero we wouldn’t think of for the reason that he lets little kids know that as long as they don’t give up they can carry out anything and if he gave up we wouldn’t…
