The Postmodern Hero

Heroes!


Compose a paragraph that compares and contrasts an example of a traditional hero with a postmodern hero. Please use your notes on postmodernism to show an understanding of the concept.





The Kite Runner
                      Vs.                             


Criteria:
A choice of two heros - one who is a traditional hero, one who is postmodern
A clear introduction with a statement of intent
A few sentences that outline the characteristics of each of the characters and how they are similar, yet different - use transitional words in your writing (yet, however, although...)
A conclusion (why is it better to be a traditional or postmodern hero?)
A picture of each hero
