Perseverance is the act of heroism Good morning/afternoon Miss Lovell and classmates. I agree that Perseverance is the act of heroism as perseverance means persistence despite the difficulty. People use perseverance and patience to become a hero in the end. I will be talking about "The charge of the light brigade" As they put their effort and perseverance into the battle already knowing the outcome of it. Also I will be talking about "Beowulf" as the protagonist perseveres in the fight with the monster Grendel not giving up until he had won the fight. In my visual representation you will see Malala through different stages one is where she was shot, the one across from that is her in a hospital and then her winning the noble prize and standing in front of the United Nations. …show more content…
An example of this is when Tennyson writes "HALF a league, half a league, Half a league onward". This use of repetition puts emphasis on the words creating a feeling of encouragement for the soldiers to keep going. The use of words "half a league" also illustrates how the soldiers went into the battle. This quote also creates a rhythm for the poem. We also see this when he writes. "Boldly they rode and well, into the jaws of death, Into the mouth of hell" The selection of the word boldly describes the soldier's reaction to going into the jaws death and the mouth of hell. This is also like Malala; she was also doing it for the people in her country like the charge of the light brigade. Even though she knew about the Taliban she went on with what she did sacrificing herself for the girls who need
Lessons in Faith from Beowulf “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) This quote from the Bible tells us that anything is possible through Christ, which is a key element in the book Beowulf. Beowulf is an epic, who battles many monsters and during this we can be taught lessons. Though Beowulf encounters many challenging trials, he always overcomes them through his faith in God.
Heroism: according to Vocabulary.com, is the act of putting others first, even at your peril. Igor Gouzenko, a Russian cypher clerk stationed in Canada, did just this when he saved Canada and the entire world from a catastrophe. Igor risked his life and put others first on September 5th, 1945, when he made the courageous decision to steal 109 classified Soviet documents proving Russian espionage in Canada. Igor brought the documents to the authorities defecting from his own country but saving another. Without Igors heroism, Canada would not be the same today.
Foreshadowing the Messiah Everyone has an opinion on every single issue this world brings to us. Weather that is of a world wide event happening in modern days, or in the past around the ancient times. We all try to understand as much as we can, but is one person really correct on past occurrences? Where I am going with this is past events are so blurry to our modern eyes, and as much as we try to comprehend them they will always be foggy; however, we should never stop trying to interpret them.
Although Beowulf and Yousafzai are from different time periods, they both have their similarities and differences. Beowulf and Malala are heroes because of their sense of duty and courage. While Beowulf was in Geatland, he heard about “Grendel filling the nights with horror” in Herot, so he rapidly set sail for Denmark (Beowulf 198-199). Later in the epic, Beowulf announces that he will meet him with “his hands empty,” even if Grendel is a “fearless fighter”
Some examples of repetitive words are “We are the.” This quote from the poem highlights that the Indigenous Australians are the First Nation of the land, and they should get the respect that they deserve. The use of repetition captures the audience’s mind because displays that Indigenous tradition is fading away as a new generation appear. The quote “we are going” in the very last line is the quote that shows the audience that the Indigenous generation is going. This is how the use of repetition is beneficial throughout the poem “We Are Going”.
13.) In the beginning, Herot was being savagely attacked by Grendel and lives were being taken for twelve straight winters. He was “so set on murder that no crime could ever be enough, no savage assault quench his lust for evil” (lines 50-53). Finally, the brave warrior Beowulf arrives to Herot and murders the devious Grendel. Seeking revenge, Grendel’s mom slyly arrives at Herot and snatches only one victim.
I have been roaming this land, enjoying a free dinner every night from the town below. The best time to go out is during the night when everyone is asleep. One day I decided to go into their lodge and there was the most beautiful sight I have seen. Thirty sleeping men, an easy meal. However, I can’t stand them having fun all the time.
Beowulf embodies many universal societal heroic values that are signified in the modern world like courage, bravery, and strength. In the poem, Beowulf displays courage. “Now, I mean to be a match for Grendel, settle the outcome in single combat” (Heaney 425-426). This quote shows courage because he’s telling them that he can fight Grendel and wants to weather he wins or loses.
People around the world don’t realize the stance of perseverance and how it is used in everyday life for many. Perseverance is persistence in doing something no matter what may happen or get in your way of succeeding. In the memoir, The Glass Castle, by Jeanette Walls presents the stars and Venus as symbolism in order to unveil the amount of perseverance there shall be taken in life, ultimately illustrating that despite any hardship, you keep pushing through. Walls use of symbolism portrays the thought of specialness even when times are rough.
Heroism “True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” This quote was spoken by Arthur Ashe, who was a professional tennis player. In his words, a hero is not someone who is an extraordinary being, but someone who is ordinarily heroic to those around them.
Repetition in poetry is repeating a word or phrases to invoke feeling or get a point across to a reader. In The Charge of the Light Brigade, Tennyson uses this literary device multiple times for different reasons. In the beginning of the poem, he repeats a phrase to describe the diligence of the brigade. Throughout, an expression is used over and over to symbolize the camaraderie within the troop. Another example of a saying repeated throughout the poem shows where the group is going, and what the place will become.
-You wonder how they do it and you Look to see the knack You watch the foot in action, or the Shoulder, or the back, But when you spot the answer where the Higher glamours lurk You’ll find in moving higher up the Laurel covered spire, That the most of it is practice and the Rest or it is work {Grantland Rice} -The new penalty ruling will take some of the shine off the game.

Has there been a time in your life where you just wanted to give up? Its easy to give up but giving up wont get you anywhere in life. These three writings demonstrate perseverance are “The Lost boys”, “Mother to son”, and “Life without limits”. “The lost boys” this story is pretty heart breaking and can make you feel a lot of ways. These kids don't live in a very good environment.
Repetition is also used throughout the poem. Multiple lines were used were repeated to show significance. One example of repetition is shown when Blake wrote this line, “And what shoulder, and what art?” where the phrase “and what...” was repeated. This showed significance and abnormalities of the
