MY HERO

Take this quiz to find out what type of hero you are.

Question 1:In The Scarlet Letter Hester fights for love. Hester has a daughter through the act of adultery. She is forced to wear a scarlet letter “A” on her dress at all times. Hester and her bastard child decide to live on the outskirts of town. Eventually, the townspeople feel that Hester is not capable of taking care of Pearl, the daughter. However, when the town wants to take Pearl away, Hester refuses to lose her. Hester never gives up on her daughter because of the love that she has inside of her for others. Suppose you loved someone very deeply, whether that person was your child, husband, wife, or parent, and that person was being forced to leave you. Someone told the person you love to leave you and never see you again. What would you do?
That person is your whole life. You love them even more than you love yourself. You would never let that person go.
You would allow that person to follow their hearts. They could either stay or go.
Stay with that person because you don’t believe that they could live without you.
Let them follow their hearts, but would later regret it.

Question 2:In the book Red Badge of Courage, Henry Fleming decides to join the Union Army. At first he views war as courageous and romantic, however, when Henry physically faces the harsh realities of fighting, he runs away. Ultimately he decides to return to the army he had deserted. On his way back to finding his comrades he runs into wounded soldiers. Henry pretends to be wounded as well, so the other soldiers would not think less of him for deserting them. Suppose you are confronted with a difficult situation where you want to lie. Everyone in your class donated money to a homeless shelter and you didn’t. When someone asks you whether you donated or not, what would you say?
Tell the truth and not try to say that someone was supposed to remind you about it and didn’t.
Say you donated the money.
Say that you don’t want to let anyone down and will donate the money later.
Accept the responsibility, but you would find the money to donate no matter what.

Question 3:In the book Of Mice and Men Lenny accidentally kills his boss’s wife. Curley, the boss, decides that he wants to take the life of Lenny for the murder of his wife. Lenny’s best friend, George, comes to the decision that he doesn’t want Curley to kill Lenny, because Lenny would then die from hatred. Rather, George wants Lenny to die from love and, therefore, George chooses to kill Lenny himself. Suppose your best friend in the entire world has cheated on his/her boyfriend/girlfriend and a person who hates your best friend saw the whole thing. This person then decides that he/she wants to tell your best friend’s boyfriend/girlfriend to get your friend into trouble. What do you do?
Keep your mouth shut. It is not your battle to be fought.
Go along with it. You don’t want anyone to be mad at you.
Try to protect your friend the best way you can.
Try to divert the blame to yourself. You were there when the crime was committed, so you are partly responsible.

Question 4:In The Great Gatsby Jay Gatsby grew up poor and unknown. One day he is presented with the opportunity to become a different person. He takes this opportunity and becomes rich and known by all. Gatsby lies about his identity to look better. He makes up a false impression of himself to be famous and loved by all, especially by the woman he loves, Daisy. You really like someone who usually doesn’t even notice you when you walk down the hallway. However, you know what kind of boy/girl this person does like. What would you do to try and get their attention?
Don’t change. If they don’t like you for who you are, so be it.
Pretend to be a changed person, but secretly you are still the same.
Forget about him/her. Relationships are overrated.
Become whatever he/she wants. That person you love is worth anything.

George keeps Lenny safe and makes sure that Lenny has a job and is treated well. George makes other people see Lenny for who he really is and not just different. He remains by Lenny’s side through thick and thin. If your friend is an outcast because he/she is very different and made fun of… What would you do?
Who cares what everyone else thinks. He/she is your friend.
You would follow the crowd, but you would feel bad about it.
Try to make everyone else see his/her true qualities. He/she is really a good person.
Remain friends with him/her. You have to be friends with everyone.

If a policeman stopped you in your car with your boyfriend/girlfriend and the cop found a bag of drugs that belonged to your boyfriend/girlfriend… What would you do?
Don’t say anything. It’s not your responsibility. It’s not up to you to make your boyfriend/girlfriend claim the blame.
Rat out your boyfriend/girlfriend in an instant. There is no way that you are going to get in trouble for something that you didn’t do. After a while, you will feel bad about it.
Clear your name and try to get your boyfriend/girlfriend’s name cleared too.
Take the blame. You don’t want your boyfriend/girlfriend to get in trouble. You were in the car too.

Question 7:In The Red Badge of Courage, Henry, a young man, is excited about going to war. The only thing that he fears is that he might run from the battle.

He does what he is afraid to do, run from battle. If you were in a fight with somebody else from school and you were really afraid of that person…What would you do?
Don’t fight. Whatever their problem with you is, it’s not your responsibility. Anyway who cares what that person or anyone else thinks about you for not showing up to the fight.
Run from the fight. Later you would realize that you want to confront your fears. Next time you’re in a fight you will show up.
There wouldn’t be a fight. You’re too peaceful. You would placate the person before the fight starts. Only fight in defense if you had too.
You would try to fight with words, not with fists.

She takes the blame for her crimes/sins and does not tell anyone whom the baby’s father is. Hester is the only one being punished for a crime that two people commit. She risks public humiliation to save the other person’s reputation. If you and your friend were cheating on a test and only you got caught…What would you do?
Take the blame and the punishment. You are not responsible for anyone else.
Lie and try to get out of the punishment. You already did something wrong. What’s the harm in telling another lie?
Try to protect your friend, but if you know that they are going to get caught, you would turn him/her in so he/she would not get in more trouble.
Take the blame. Your friend is worth more than the punishment.
