Who were your childhood heroes and heroines? Why did you choose them? What cultural lessons did you learn from them?

Who were your childhood heroes and heroines? Why did you choose them? What cultural lessons did you learn from them?

To begin with, I`d like to say that I have never had somebody as an absolute hero for me but despite this fact I can sort out a character by whom I was inspired or highly impressed in my childhood. When I first watched the screen adaptation of " The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" I was absolutely amazed and as a result one character stood out for me – it was Gandalf. A mysterious sorcerer who acts alone but is always prepared to lend a helping hand to everyone of his friends who is in need. In the movie he is a brave selfless mage who tries to gain new knowledge and unravel all the secrets that the comprehensive world of Middle-Earth is fraught with. Gandalf is ready to face all the dangers no matter what it is – a huge ancient dragon, a bulky troll or deadly orc and what is also important he always wins not with a help of strength but knowledge is his main weapon. He is like an embodiment of a famous saying which is " Power is inferior to the mind".

In conclusion, I want to give an answer on the second question. To my mind, I learned two extremely important lessons from him. The first one is that I should be ready to help my relatives and friends in difficult situation. The second one is the desire to discover new. Moreover, after this movie I began to believe that knowledge is more important than strength.
