I'm going to talk about «myths and heroes». First, I want to give a definition of a hero : a hero can be a mythological figure, a person who is admired for his or her achievements, a superhero or mabye a role model or an icon.
A myth is a traditional or legendary story, usually concerning hero or event.
For illustrates this notion, i have choose too present 2docuements : Winston Churchill and Gran Torino.
A hero can be a patriotic or a national hero such as a sportsman, a politican, a human rights defender. Churchill is a historic hero. He is perfect for illustrates Myth and hero.
At first, we can considerate Winston Churchill like an hero because he has play an important role on the second world war as the british prime minister. Before being Prime minister, it was a lord of the Admiralty. During the second world war, Churchill used of his military stategy against Hitler’s army earning it the status of hero.
Today Churchill is always considerate as an hero, everybody know his nale and his action during the war in England but also in France because he helped Charles De-Gaulle for the radio appeal of june 18 in 1940.
The Myth of Churchill is build around his nickname like « The man with a cigare » or « the man with the v for
victory » and the « old lion ». He is an war hero but also a peace hero because he has participate to the
Yalta’s conference. The strengh of Churchill came to his status but also his personnality, indeed Churchill is
admirated for his painter and writer talent’s . He receveid in 1953 the littérature Nobel Prize.
The myths has also hide things, for example his alcoholism or in a document of 1937, he said anti-semitic
words. Furthermore, during the second world warn he commited controversial acts . He would so have
covered Stalin, person in charge of the massacre of Katyn (the murderer of thousand polish il 1940) to
protect their alliance.
After having present an figure could illustrates myth and hero, i presenting now Gran torino, and the symbol, the
myth around the car.
Walt Kowalski , a veteran of the Korean War , racist and irascible , has just lost his wife. One night he surprises Thao , one of his young neighbors , trying to steal his Ford Gran Torino 1972 as part of an examination set by the gang that wants to recruit him. This event will change the course of the young man and his family with Mr. Kowalski .
In Gran Torino, the car represent the mainstream, the amrican way of life. It is beautiful, prestigious and he goe’s
back to years when america was a great country, the big one, for many poeple having a nice little house, 2child
and 1dog and a Gran Torino was leaving the american dream. So, of course, it is not a coicidence if the name is
Gran Torino, it is also the symbol to Thao’s progress,
Infact, at the beginning, Thao speaks little English with a strong accent. He did’nt go to school and he don’t have
work. Thanks to Walt, he finds a job and and asserts itself as a man. When Walt died, he decided to bequeath his
Gran Torino, not at one off his children, but at his friend Thao.
