Riel vs Pearson: Who's the Hero?
Having just celebrated both Flag Day and Louis Riel Day which are in place because of the accomplishments of two Canadian "heros," we've got to ask, "What's a hero anyways?"
- Louis Riel
- Lester Pearson
Research both Louis Riel and Lester Pearson. Create a nice, neat, (big,) colorful chart that lists their major heroic accomplishments and decide between the two which is the true hero. (You can't have a tie.)
As you do this, ask yourself:
- What is a hero?
- What are the qualities of a hero?
- What do you, as a Christian, value in someone? (This Bible passage might give you some ideas.)
- What are qualities a Christian should not admire? Try these passages here and here.
- Who best lives up to the qualities you've researched?
- If one person doesn't live up to the qualities mentioned, why do you think they're still considered a great Canadian?
