The hero is someone who is a role model to others and he must be strong, brave, smart and confident. For me this was Mile Klopcic.
Mile Klopcic was born on 16th November 1905. He was born in the town of L'Hopital in France. Mile Klopcic was a Slovenian poet and translator. Together with Tone Seliskar, he is considered one of the best Slovene social realist poets of the 1930s and 1940s. He was the brother of the Communist activist and historian France Klopcic, and father of the film director Matjaz Klopcic.
At the outbreak of World War I, the family moved to Zagorje ob Savi. He attended High school in Ljubljana.
"In 1920, he
joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. During the dictatorship of King
Alexander I of Yugoslavia, he was imprisoned as a political opponent of the
regime. During World War II, he joined the partisan resistance and
became the chairman of the Commission for Culture in the Slovenian
National Liberation Council (SNOS). After the war, he worked mostly as a
translator. Among other, he translated works of Heinrich Heine, Pushkin, Lermontov and Korney Chukovsky into
Slovene. He is most renowned for his pre-World War II poetry, consisting of dry
yet highly descriptions of the daily life of minors and industrial workers. He
died on March, 1984 in Ljubljana." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile_Klopcic)
I chose Mile Klopcic because he was a very good man. He is also my role model because he was successful. I respect him and I wish I too so successful as he was.
