Notion bac / Myths and heroes

[Libellule06]

Bonjour ! 

J'aurais besoin de votre aide pour corriger ma synthèse.. 

Merci d'avance ! 

 

I’d like to define the notion Myths and heroes. A myth is a story, a legend. It appeared to explain natural phenomena. Myths are also a way to create unity among a population, a feeling of belonging, which is necessary in our society to evolve. A hero can be someone who is ready to sacrifice his life in order to make things evolved positively, can also be the main character or real (Mandela, Gandhi, a single parent, an activist or Mr Avarage= Mr tout le monde like The Suffragettes) or belong to fiction (Jhonny English, Wonder Women..) a patriotic or national hero. In both cases, they are people who have moral values and fight for noble cause.

My presentation will deal with this question how does myths can have an impact in social life ?

We will see first which characteristics can reflect British people. Then, we will illustrate this notion with famous British characters. Finally, we shall see that britishness reflect also British union.

Britishness defines the British characters, and it is the myth for being British. For us, British are people who drink a lot of tea, in fact, British people consume 60 billion cups per year, according to The Tea and Infusions Organisation. Have a typical Building like Big Ben, a posh accent and are haughty and snobbish people etc.. But those are stereotypes spread by television and movies. Most of the stereotypes are true, like drinking tea everyday at 5 o'clock, but being British is more than that.

Indeed, being British is about having a good sense of humour. Jhonny English’s movie is a perfect illustration which reflects British sense of humor. It is a parody of James Bond movies staging Rowan Atkinson, a British actor. In fact, this film is inspired by James Bond and Mister Bean’s humour, described by Atkinson as "a child in a grown man's body", in solving various problems presented by everyday and often causing disruption in the process. It reflects British’s typical sense of humor and their eccentricity, such as these two images. We can see a british punk in london, his look is eccentric because he wear a crest of hair and a costume, what can seem rather original because we rarely see punks in a suit and tie. Nevertheless, this look can reflect a form of rebellion against social convention or revendication of freedom expression and also reflect to English creativity and inventiveness. British possess a high respect of their country, what urges them to try to distance themselves besides from world, in particular through their personalities. Besides, known artists also reflect this eccentric image; as Amy Winehouse, a British singer died in 2011. Which had an incredible style, and wearing a mop of hair.

Moreover, being British in United Kingdom is considered being proud of your culture as British are very proud notion. It shines the humour, their attitude and their culture.

In fact, British people are very courageous, because they have explored a lot of territories and are a great sailors. The text « Men who follow the sea » deals myths of explorations and navigations like American’s discovery by Chrisopher Colombus in 1492. The story speaks about Marlow’s exploration, a character of British sailor created by Joseph Conrad. We find in this text, several elements which make a reference to the exploration of new territories as “Sir Francis Drake” l.8; who has a sailor who conquered new territory's, or involved in piracy and illicit slave trading, and collected much gold. Also, much cities like “Deptford” a district of the Southeast of London, and “Greenwich” a district of London, know for his maritime heritage. This cities are steeped in history of the sea and build the power of British. Marlow recounts all the pioneers of the Thames River, all commissioned to exploration by the crown, and reveres these historical figures.

Finally, Marlow's exploration is a metaphor of British society, who reflecting certain aspects of that society, as the industrial revolution and the British colonial Empire as well as its specific insular geographical position makes it a unique country. Nevertheles, in spite of their culture extended to the world, British protect their traditions not to be influenced by outside evolution, that is why they want to withdraw from the European Union, the procedure to begin March 29th, 2017.

Concernant l'emploi/omission de l'article "the", tu sembles être tombée dans l'excès inverse !

Merci beaucoup ! 

J'ai énormément de mal avec le "The" (et beaucoup d'autres choses..), pourtant j'ai bien étudié le fichier que tu m'avais joint..
