Beowulf and Batman
When i think about a hero, i think of a human being that knows no limits, for doing whats right, thinking of others before them-self, whom is genuine, and knows their human, and doesn't always do the right thing. Beowulf and Batman were those kind of heroes, if someone needs there help their there at a snap of a finger. Even though Beowulf and Batman are from different eras, the idea of a hero hasn't grown to far apart from Beowulf to a modern hero like Batman, but of course there is many difference's that could separate Beowulf and Batman completely, but the morals didn't change.
What makes Beowulf and Batman a hero is that their human and they make mistakes and they don't have supernatural powers. All they want to be is there for those who need them. to make them feel safe and to know they were protected. Beowulf was considered a knight and a knight goes where they are summoned by their loyalties and that's what Beowulf does. He killed Grendel and his mother when he was summoned, He became king of the Geats to lead his country into prosperity and greatness for fifty years until there was trouble with a dragon and he killed the Dragon and the Dragon Killed him, but the point is he was a knight and whats intriguing about Batman is that he was considered the "Dark Knight" and when the "Bat Sign" was on bright in the sky he would come to the rescue. And he did. What made Beowulf such a strong leader in the story was the different point of views the author did, for example when Beowulf and Grendel Fought, the point of view was coming from Grendel to show how strong Beowulf was.(And as I'm getting my information i will list the links at the end of the essay.)

Always interesting to read your perspective, and looking forward to more! Since you're still in process, here are some suggestions: 1) Avoid the first person; 2) Go back to the prompt and be sure to address literary techniques and social/cultural influences; 3) Continue textual examples to support your points and avoid general plot summary.
