Part A: Approaching the "Hero Archetype." What are some examples of heroes, in everyday life and in the films you watched for this module? (Be sure to credit the films you watched with at least the title and year the film debuted.) Now, based on the examples you have mentioned, detail what exactly makes these particular individuals heroes. Based on this, what is a hero, and why is the definition of hero timeless or different for every culture?

Part B: Modern Mythology. Based on how you defined mythology in our first discussion, do you think there is such a thing as "modern mythology"? If so, what criteria would you use to decide if a modern narrative counts as mythology? If no, why do no modern narratives count as mythology? Finally, answer either what value modern mythology offers society, or why modern culture has no need of a modern mythology.
