He would even have to report to the sub in the middle of the night…

    Beowulf Hero Quotes

    • 1276 Words
    • 6 Pages

    “Hard times don’t create heroes. It’s during hard times when the hero within us reveal themselves.” That quote couldn’t be truer for the character Beowulf. Being a hero doesn’t mean one who tries his best to better humanity but wants nothing in return even recognition. No dictionary definition includes that. If that were true then we would be spitting in the eyes of our heroes instead of thanking them. Being a hero’s means being willing to risk ones life for other. It means that fixation on the…

I feel that a hero is a person or animal that has persevered and…
