Question

Writing prompt: Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how culture shapes the heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy. Use transition words in your draft to help clarify relationships of ideas.

Answer 1

Answer:

Manjiro and Achilles cultures helped to shape them in different ways. Cultural beliefs of characters or heroes in a story can largely impact their traits, motives, and strength.

         To start, Achilles’ culture made him be quite courageous, brave, and strong. But as a young boy growing with these traits, he grew to be quite reckless. His culture taught him that if he went to battle he would probably live a short life. But he would be remembered through many generations to come.

On the other hand, Manjiros culture showed him to be respectful and curious. His culture had taught him to obey the rules he was told to follow. He was taught that the line of jobs on his fathers side was what he was supposed to be, (a fisherman). Majiro was brave and he wanted to be a samurai, but his culture said that he could not. He had to be a fisherman.

But, both of the boys' cultures shaped the way they lived. The culture they had grown with greatly impacted their lives. They are both brave, and strong. they will both be remembered for generations to come.

In conclusion, The heroes in Heart of a Samurai and Black Ships Before Troy reflect their culture's expectations for strength. culture can affect anyone’s life or beliefs.
