Peter is the main character in the novel, "Cue for Treason". Peter is also the protagonist.Question three asks if Peter is a hero and if so what type of hero. Also, what other type of hero in history could you compare Peter to. To answer this question you must analyse and questions Peters action in the novel.
The usual characteristics of a hero could be such things as brave, selfless, caring, and kind. Peter suits these characteristics. The reader could question if Peter was brave or not because early on in the novel peter fled instead of facing Sir Phillip.This could also be an example of selflessness because he risking endangering friends and family by leaving them with an enraged, Sir Phillip. The reader would have to find the answer to this question with their own thinking.
But first ask yourself; would a true hero such as Superman run away from Sir Phillip? Well probably not due to the fact Superman has super strength, flight and laser eyes.Use a different example perhaps. Would Mahatma Ghandhi run away from Sir Phillip I would not think so. Despite the one-in-a-million Ghandhi, Peter is brave, he threw a rock at Sir Phillip, joined the Secret Services of the Queen, and made a daring escape out of captivity.
Would Peter be an accidental hero or a hero such as a fire man who risks his/her life every day doing their profession? There could be debate over this. On one hand Peter was part of the secret services of the Queen. Which would make it seem like it was Peter's job saving the Queen and doing all the other heroic tasks. Peter is more likely an accidental hero because he was acting out in the moment heroines.
Great job on the post! However I noticed you have made a bit of mistakes, especially not spacing after some periods and the use of the "I" voice which Ms. Lees requested not to use.
