Sagot :
I am going to talk about the notion « myths and
heroes ». First of all, I’m going to give a definition of this notion. A myth
is a story or a tale about gods or heroes which can be real or fictional, the
myth includes legends telling about the beginning of our history and our
religions. Secondly a hero can refer to a mythological figure, it’s a person
who is admired for his or her achievements, a superhero or maybe a role model
or an icon.
I will present four documents which are going to help me answer the following
key questions; What is the use of myths and heroes? What are their roles?
The second document I have selected is an audio of which subject is the origins of Maori tattoos. Above all I’ll tell you who are Maori. Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. Mataora, a warrior and Niwareka, a princess were married and both were Maori. The legend says that Mataora punched his wife so she left him and run back to her father whose name was Uetonga. He was the King of the underworld. The warrior wanted to apology and he begged for forgiveness because he felt guilty and heartbroken. It was a long journey so he was exhausted. As a consequence his paint was dirty and messed up so much so that Niwareka’s family made fun of him .Nonetheless the princess accepted his apology and Uetonga taught him the art of tattooing which he brought back to the human world .After that Maori began to paint their face with those facial tattoos and this act became a Maori tradition .It took part of Maori culture but Maori also have a rich mythology .For example we can quote another document studied in class : Whale Rider which is a novel written by Witi Ihimaera. This novel tells us the story of a young girl , Kahu and shows us different aspects of the Maori tribe culture, particularly the transmitting of the values .
Thus those two documents refer to the Maori myth .We understand that a myth is very important for a people, it allows it to create its own history .Moreover , through legends, the people can transmit some values. For example, the facial tattoos are a celebration of Maori culture, a physical statement of a person’s identity.
The last document is an article derived from Wikipedia which relates to the student-led gun control organization created by survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting. Those teenagers are fighting for changing the laws, they want tighter regulations to prevent from gun violence. To carry out their project they created a Facebook group, now followed by 35 000 followers, and many Twitter accounts. They also announced a nationwide protest which took place on March 24th, 2018 and brought together hundreds of thousands of protesters. This organization and especially its members could be considered as heroes because they contribute to making the world better and saver. Indeed, thanks to both houses voted for various gun control measures and guns laws have changed in the State of Florida. Furthermore, thanks to them the subject of guns is more visible which can enable once again can make a big change worldwide.
