About this eBook

Author Kruckvich, Francis
Title A Hero and a Great Man
Note Reading ease score: 95.0 (5th grade). Very easy to read.
Summary "A Hero and a Great Man" by Francis Kruckvich is a poetic narrative that illustrates themes of greatness, knowledge, and the contrasting nature of heroism and ambition. Written in the early 21st century, this book combines elements of storytelling with an underlying moral lesson, focusing on how individuals can perceive greatness in different ways. The text explores the quest for recognition and the complexities associated with being considered a “great man” in society. The story unfolds in a troubled town where a self-proclaimed great man seeks admiration and power, often overshadowing a quiet, intelligent individual referred to as the "freak." The great man initially presents himself as a problem-solver during a flood crisis, but his reliance on eloquent speech and charisma leads him to twist ideas originally proposed by the freak. As the narrative progresses, the freak, who possesses true knowledge and insight, ultimately discovers the source of the flooding problem, while the great man’s bravado begins to crumble under pressure. Despite the great man's eventual victory, the tale highlights the importance of recognizing true heroism, suggesting that wisdom and humility often come from those who are overlooked by society.
