Explain that sentence in your own words.

 

For many people, Oscar Pistorius will always be considered a great man, a Paralympic champion for his exploits achieved despite his handicap. However, he is no longer a real hero in the eyes of the world but rather a fallen hero who has lost his reputation. He became an idolized person who lost everything, his dignity, his reputation and who fell in the esteem of everyone for the murder of his girlfriend in their house. This tragic court case is very sad for South Africa and especially for the family of this woman

 

Which problem does this event raise in South Africa ? Find figures to illustrate.

 

This event then highlights a corrupt South Africa plagued by high crime. It is a country plagued by police corruption, where eight officers have recently been charged with murder for tying up a man in the rear bumper of a van before dragging him into the street.

In addition, this court case revealed that Oscar Pistorius had raped her girlfriend, which also highlighted that in South Africa, during the years 2011 and 2012, the country recorded 64,500 rapes, one in every four minutes. It's a world record.

Finally, this type of murder, a woman killed by her husband, a girlfriend or even a mistress arrives unfortunately every eight hours in South Africa. It is even the leading cause of violent death among women.

 

 

Explain why he can be considered a fallen hero. Pick other examples.

 

This man was a person recognized by all, that everyone idolized, he was a hero for all. However, after the murder of his girlfriend, he went from a national hero to a "dangerous madman", he lost his reputation. He then experienced a descent into hell by losing everything. He went from being a model for the disabled worldwide to being a "paranoid star addicted to guns and steroids". He has become the "symbol of violence" raging in South Africa, a "crazy hero" whose dark part was discovered at the end of this murder. In addition, it was discovered that he was a violent and obnoxious man with women which worsened his image in the eyes of the world. This hero turned murderer was sentenced to several years in prison.

He is then called the "fallen hero" as the "dangerous madman", the "paranoid star", the "crazy hero" or even the "symbol of violence".

@JRB Vous ne m'avez pas compris la phrase que j'ai complété  : 

En lisant ça, je me pince pour savoir si je ne rêve pas ! ?

Quand tu auras fait l'effort de travailler, poster logiquement, lire et comprendre toutes mes réponses, alors ferai-je l'effort de te "comprendre" !  ☹️

Je pense avoir fait preuve de patience avec toi, donc nos échanges sont terminés pour ce qui me concerne.
