1)I am going to talk about the notion "myths and heroes"
First of all I would like to define the notion:Firstly (first is abettre choice grammatically) a myth can be defined as a story about gods or heroes who are the outcome of a popular belief or a tradition . A story that often cannot be verified.
Secondly (second is a better choice) A hero can be a mythological figure or a person admired for his actions, his qualities and his courage.
To illustrate this I have chosen two documents ,
The first document is a picture of MLK (to use abbreviation you need to have at least mentioned the full name before). MLK was a black American clergyman and civil rights leader in the 20th century. He fought against the racial segregation and against all types of violence. He is well known for his famous speech "I have a dream." For all its activities (contributions), in 1964 he received the Nobel Prize for Peace. This is someone who was very admired for his actions and that is why he is considered a hero.
The second document I have chosen is a song named "American land" written and interpreted by Bruce Springsteen.
This song deals with the topic of immigration. The song is about a true story which talks about the dream of the immigrants before going to America. They want to leave their native country because they want to escape misery and they dream of better prospects. For immigrants, US represented (created) a New Eldorado, it is a land of opportunities where you can find a job and make money however, you have to be courageous, determined since you start from scratch.
However for many of them this 'dream' Eldorado transforms into a nightmare.
Indeed all these immigrants had a difficult life in the end and many of them died while building the America we know today.And for many the american dream will stay just be a myth.
2) (instead of numbering your paragraphs, you can use first, second and last etc)I am going to talk about the notion "places and forms of power",
First of all I would like to define the notion:the "places and forms of power" can be defined as influence or control that a person,a group,a nation or a places have over people .
To illustrate this I have chosen two documents
To begin, I will speak about places of power.There are firstly the symbolic buildings which represent the power. The White House and " Elysée" are examples of the symbols of the political power
The places of the power can be also linked to religion.
For example, the Mecca has great importance for Muslims and the same for Vatican with Catholics Christians..
The second document I have chosen is a cartoon that exemplifies the contradiction in United states population with regard to immigration.
We can see two men standing in middle of a fence which represents the Mexico-US border.
The bigger man represents is Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is the symbol of the United states and of American people.The sign he is holding according to the author represents the opinion of the majority of the American people towards the Mexican immigration.They don't want any more Mexican immigrants coming into their country.The smaller man dressed in a nice suit is a employer.
He holds a sign that says "Help wanted"
which is a message directed to the Mexican immigrants. Thus, unlike the common American people, American employers encourages the Mexican immigration because the Mexicans are good workers.
To conclude we can say that this documents corresponds (illustrates) perfectly the notion because US has a political power on immigrants while employers have an economic power on them.
