National hero of the year

Theres always a hero somewhere, Someone who you can trust and who you can look up to. I chose Athena to be the National Hero of the Year. I chose Athena because she helped many people through the book, she has human like qualities and she helped people when they were in danger. All the qualities Athena has, i thought made a great hero.

Through out the story Athena helps many people. One was Telemachus, when she helps him by moving the winds that will lead him to Sparta to find his father. Athena also helps Penelope by becoming really close to her to comfort her when she needed it, she awlays told Penelope that Odysseus will be back. Last, Athena helps Odysseus get his house and wife back.

Athena has the most human-like qualities because she acts like one, she acted like a human because she disguises as a one. she interactes with humans, she's in human form. she always developed human characteristics because she talks to humans and because she helped many on earth.

Another reason i chose Athena for national hero of the year is because she rescued people when they were danger. An example of this is when she rescued Odysseus from Poseidon’s storm. Homer writes, “A heavy sea covered him over, then and there unlucky Odysseus would have met his death—against the will of Fate—but the bright-eyed one inspired him yet again” (V, 479-482). This shows that Athena was always watching over others. Poseidon would not be a good choice for national hero of the year because he holds grudges. He made stroms to try to kill Odysseus because he blinded Poseidons son. By helping others out Athena has really showed that she can be a hero.

In conclusion, Athena rescues people from danger, she has human-like qualities and she is always helping others. All these things make up a hero and that hero is Athena. This is why you should vote for Athena for the national hero of the year.
