ah!! I have been waiting about 10 hours to say this, our english classare preparing for exams and did last years writing paper......it had a picture of Aragorn at Helms Deep with his sword covered of blood and the question was "heroes/heroeins are good for young people, explain your views"
I wrote 7 pages worth of reasons why Lord of the rings has so much heros and must of been 3 whole pages of my hero (Gwahir)....I also bunged in half a page of Superman/Batman/Star Wars hereos to make it look not too obvious
Discos - I was on fire, most people in my class wrote half a page of shite
pretty much, hope I did good though, Iput alot of thought, concentraion, commitment + shite into the essay,
overall I say I answered the question "why are heros a good impact with younger people" (cant remember the actual question), its pretty much:
to be cool
to beat the bad guy
to look tough
to have an attitude
to save the world
to get the girl
to have secrets ie Bad cave ie Clark Kent identity
