There is a major difference in the motivation behind a hero’s “noble” actions. Classical heroes are from a time when life was a lot harder and people had to be selfish to survive. Greek hero myths were supposed to inspire people of the time to go out and achieve fame through glorious and heroic deeds. In this way most classical heroes acted on much more selfish motives, looking to see what they could gain out of a task or quest. There are many different examples of this but I will use Odysseus’ long journey home as an example. The quests Odysseus completed along the way served only to benefit him and ensure he made it home. Outwitting Circes, leaving Calypso and defeating Polyphemus were all things that would help Odysseus and his men reach Ithaca again. Modern heroes however, are people who do good things not for themselves but for others in need of help. Often there is a personal motivation behind their good deeds but I believe that it is done much more selflessly than classical heroes. In the episode “Memories of Boom Boom Mountain” we learn of Finn’s motivation to be a hero. He had been abandoned as a child, and left crying in a dirty diaper on top of a hill. He “cried for a whole day but no one came to help him. That day he vowed to help anyone in need no matter how small their problem.” This idea is also supported by other modern superheroes. Batman, Superman, Robin, Flash, Ironman; in short, most modern superheroes hide behind a mask, or other form of secret identity. For me this just reaffirms how modern superheroes do not do heroic deeds for themselves and in fact shy away from fame and glory.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
