Topic : Describe a character in fiction, a historical figure, or a creative work (as in art, music, science, etc.) that has had an influence on you, and explain that influence.
Throughout my highschool years, I have read books and watched movies that were related to the history. In these works, there were many historical figures who changed our course of history. These figures are all confident, have determination and sacrifices themselves for their nation or religion. The figure that influenced me most among them is Balian, a crusader in the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven'. He showed his confidence and determination, therefore I learned the qualities that a leader should have.
The movie 'Kingdom of Heaven' is depicting the crusade years when Saladin, the leader of Islam Empire, was preparing the seige to Jerusalam. The King of Jurusalam was eager to want to have peace, but his generals were not. They had desire to kill Muslims and constantly attacked Muslim caravens. The war was about to begin. In this chaotic situation, Balian came to the city. He was given missions to protect the king and his people, and he fulfilled this well though he was about to die. When Islam leader Saladin led his army to destroy the city called 'Karak', Balian and his men fought with them to protect citizens who was at the outside of the castle. He finally captured by Saladin, but released because Saladin recognized Balian's determination to protect the people.
The peace seemed to be established, but it was crushed when Saladin planned to recapture the city. He was furious after King's generals massacre many muslim merchants who were innocent. Soonafter, he defeated Christian army, and marched to the city of Jerusalem. Balian desperately resisted without losing hope; He fought with Saladin to defend ordinary citizens. Finally he established the peace treaty with Muslims and saved all residents of the city.
In conclusion, he show me the qualities of a leader should have. They are confidence and determination.
