Question 3

Wealtheow is portrayed as a woman who was wearing gold and served the men. She walks around as if her only job is to simply be pretty and serve the men at the feast. She reminds me a little of Mary Magdalene by the way that she is one of the few women mentioned and held a place among the men, unlike the other women who stayed in the background. We can expect that Anglo-saxon women are meant to not be a part of the fighting but still have a part in the world, even if it is simply to bring a cup around.

A hero

A hero is a person who displays high amounts of something. A hero has qualities that go above and beyond the average person. They may not be perfect in all areas of life, but they have something that sets them apart from the masses; something that attracts attention in a positive way. A hero is a person who can do something to make others watch with awe. They may be nicer than the rest, which, although is not the first thing one thinks of when they think "hero", really could be heroic to the object of their niceness. They could be very athletic, which would make them a hero to a young aspiring athlete. Or maybe they are courageous, which would make them a hero to the mother who stands outside the burning house as a crying baby is brought out safely in the arms of a stranger. A hero is a person who can, even if it is only to a single person, change the way someone thinks or views the world for the better.

Prompt 1

Within in society, people are divided by religion. When people have a
certain religion, they often associate themselves mostly with others
of that religion, causing differences with culture, like Christmas and
Chaunikka and Kwanza. Other ways people are divided is through social
class. There are the upper class, middle class, and lower class.
People within one class usually associate with people of that class.
The adults usually work with people of their class, and children go to
school with others of their class. People also tend to live around
others of their class, because of the price of housing around them
accommodates their class. Race divides people; there are things such
as scholarships that can be won only by a student of a particular
race. Back in the time of immigration to the US, immigrants tended to
cluster with people from their homeland. In Boston we have the
Italians in the North End, Irish people in the South End, and Chinese
people in Chinatown. Within these divisions exist even smaller
divisions. However, the smaller divisions seem to be caused by
people's one decisions, not something caused by society. Good-looking
people tend to hang around with other good-looking people. Smart
people tend to stay around other smart people. Those who are less
religious tend to avoid zealots. People enjoy being with people they
relate to and alienate those they do not, making our societies very
divided.
