Post 10
From the posts that I've read, everyone generally seems to have the same idea of what a modern epic hero reflects and stands for; a few characteristics from other posts that have frequently popped up are hope, strength, and bravery. In Ashley's post, she chose to discuss Superman as a hero; in my opinion Some people would classify Soldiers and Superman in the same category. Even though soldiers don't have the same capabilities as Superman, they both had the option whether or not they want to defend/ save a person or not. Our modern heroes reflect classical heroes in almost every way, it's just a new age in which we live that causes our "new" heroes to reflect more in line with our current society.

It's interesting how you compared classical heroes to our modern day heroes. You're completely right about how the powers of the superheroes and our soldiers are different, but they are still on the same sort of level I guess you'd say. Our soldiers and other modern day heroes do so much for our country, so I'm my opinion our modern day heroes are way more important and should be more valuable than the comic book and cartoon super heroes.
