I'm posting this survey as part of my High School English term project, hoping to compare the data generated with that of the template I've drawn up for the literary hero. It's crunch time, so I'd love if as many of you as possible gave this sucker a once-over within the next several hours for the sake of this wretched newb! Thanks

HERO QUESTIONNAIRE

1) Who is/was a hero in your mind and what was his/her role in society? (Real or historic people only please. So no Marvel or DC superheroes or FF chars.)

2)What attributes do you find most admirable in your hero?

3)Who in your life/personal experience and how have they hero impacted your life, morals or ideals?

4)Is your hero a role model for you? If so, please elaborate. If not, do you simply respect and admire your hero based on their freakish ability to excel in a chosen field?

5)Are heroes necessary for society as a shining example of what one human can achieve? To show that the system actually works and produces these exceptional individuals?

6)Does the idea of a hero still exist in our society today? how is it different from what it was in the past?

7)Is heroism a relative term or are the feats of your hero so grand, that they transcend all boundaries?

8)Have you admired this hero all of your life? Please elaborate.

9)If you could have acted on behalf on your hero in a particular situation, how might you have acted differently? Or would you have let the even play out the same way?

10)Do you believe that there is a general heroic template, or that each individual hero's attributes are unique and independent of all other heroic people?
