    Exclamation English paper help!!!

    I picked Harriet Tubman as my hero. I then had to pick three traits that make her a hero and write a paragraph on each of the traits. I also need to find a character from each of the novels that the class has read this unit who also obtains the same trait. I have chosen my characteristics, I just need to find characters from these novels who also have the same attributes. For clarification I need a different character for each category. Thanks!

    I'm all about helping provide structure and editing for a paper, but when it comes to the essay itself, it is YOUR obligation to fill in the content. I don't mean to be rude when I say this, but you have chosen the heroic figure, and you are going to have to determine which characters match the qualities.

    This is your assignment. Do it.

    If it helps at all 'Beowulf' may have been based on the historical Bothvarr Biarki of the Geats.
