Although I seldom saw a newspaper, I knew about the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo.

For my essay I chose Terry Fox. I chose him because he is a true hero. He raised more than $360 million for cancer research and awareness by running ultramarathons through the Marathon of Hope organizations with an artificial leg. Clearly, Terry Fox, who ran over 42 km a day through wind and snow with an artificial leg, displayed the characteristics of a true hero who set a standard of excellence, raised money for cancer research, and most of all, inspired people to never give up their dreams or hopes.

Edith Hamilton describes Hercules as a loving person with some brains as well as being “the strongest man on earth” (167). He has some intelligence when ordered to do twelve labors when he brought two rivers to clean filthy horse stalls. When Hercules was dealing with the Titan, Atlas, Atlas tricked him into holding the world for a long period of time, while he goes and gets what Hercules needed, only not giving him what he needed when he returns.
“Farewell to arms” is an exemplification of his love life as well as his war life as an ambulance driver in World War I.
