    The document provides instructions for a paper assignment comparing Beowulf to traditional heroes and contemporary heroes. Students are asked to identify heroic traits in Beowulf through examples from the text, generalize these into a list of common heroic traits, and use this list to compare Beowulf to modern characters like Batman, Iron Man, and Superman. Students are also asked to determine their own personal definition of a hero. The paper must be at least two double-spaced pages and cover these points properly cited from the source text. Students will have lab time on Friday and Monday to work on the papers, which are due September 22nd.

    The hero connection:

    From Beowulf to Batman


    Now that we have read and watched Beowulf, you will be writing a paper,
    comparing Beowulf to traditional heroes. You will need to identify Beowulf's
    heroic traits, generalize from these traits a list of typical traits for
    heroes, use these traits to compare Beowulf with contemporary heroes,
    as well as describe your definition of a hero, in a well-written, grammatically
    correct AT LEAST TWO PAGE DOUBLE-SPACED paper. You will need to cover the
    following in your paper:

    • discuss Beowulf as a hero, drawing supporting details from the text


    (make sure to include at least 3 examples from the text PROPERLY
    CITED)
    • generalize from these details a list of traits that apply to most heroes
    (strength, wisdom, bravery, loyalty, etc)
    • use these generalized traits to compare Beowulf with contemporary
    ‘heroes’ (such as Batman, Iron Man, firemen, Superman, etc.)
    • determine what is your personal concept of hero

    We will be working on these papers in the lab for Friday and Monday. These papers
    are DUE by Tuesday, September 22nd. After this date, points will be taken off for
    being late.
