What is a hero? The meaning of hero can not really be defined. It really depends on personal preference. Some people believe that a hero is someone who saves lives, but that isn't always true. A hero can also be a person who gives positive influences everyday and really makes a difference in peoples lives. A hero can be a person who is trustworthy, and reliable.
This novel is about two young teens who have crazy adventures. This is a historical fiction, and it takes place in Shakespearean England. This novel teaches you about Shakespeare himself and Queen Elizabeth I. In this novel A young boy named Peter Brownrigg is faced with many different situations. In some of the situations Peter faces he must play the role of a hero. In some of the situations Peter chooses to act like a hero but in others he has no choice. An example of when he has no choice was when he saved Mr.Dunsmend from drowning in the lake. Peter couldn't of just stood there and watched Mr dunsmend drown. In other situations such as saving the Queen and covering for Kit, Peter had a choice of being a hero. He kept Kits secret all along and helped her so no one would find out she was really a girl. Peter Brownrigg is a hero in two ways. He is a hero by choice and a hero by chance.
In a way you could compare Peter to a parent now a days. You could think of parents like heros' too. They would risk their lives for you. They are always there when you need them and they will always help you when you are having a hard time.
Robyn, I like the general structure of your composition and how you conclude with the unique choice of parents as heros ( Hint - I bet this would make a great addition to a Mother's day or Father's day card).
ReplyDeleteYour comments to others are quite good - clear and specific. Think of looking at your own post with the same critical eye before publishing - you could improve this post even more by reviewing the tips we went over in class last day.
I think you need to add more to this post for a good multi-paragraph composisition. Some paragraphs are a bit short and need more support and/or elaboration and the larger body paragraph could use some help with wordiness and sentence combining to enhance the sophistication of your writing.
Overall - you continue to show improvement but I think you could do better with a bit more effort.
