wanted to be a hero, returning from a war you helped win? Have you ever wished to come home, to the sound of clapping and the look of admiration on everyone’s faces? Sure, war veterans are appreciative of all of this recognition, but being a veteran is more than that. Being a veteran isn’t about going to a war, to come back for the fame and glory. They experience many feelings of depression and yearning. They wish that they never joined the cause, and forget everything else. A hero that shared many

Heroism is most commonly seen in the form of the hero restoring order to a situation that was chaotic, however I believe that both introducing order and introducing chaos depending on the circumstances can be heroic. Many people believe that heroism can only be when a hero introduces order to chaos. This is a very common and sensical belief because some of the first ideas that come to your mind when you think hero would be something like Superman or Batman. These characters install order after a

While there are many differences between the lead characters in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Beowulf—Beowulf is able to save many people during his battles and is more spiritual, while Gawain’s battle was with himself and he pays more attention to his morals—there are also similarities between the two. In fact, many fail to recognize that both characters share similarities throughout their individual stories. These similarities come with human error making each knight memorable and more realistic

In the words of Christopher Reeve, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” I think that his words have true meaning because when analysing heroes like Spiderman and Martin Luther King Jr. you would notice that both come from a background full of struggles. For example, Spiderman dealt with the death of his parents and uncle and Martin Luther King Jr. suffered from beatings and depression. The two are now heroes because

Beowulf finally arose. Engulfed in darkness he is bewildered. He recalls his fight with the dastardly dragon that sought to destroy his people. He also remembers the honorable Wiglaf, who fought by his side, while his men fled, and betrayed him. He walks. Beowulf thinks of where he is, and why he is where he is. It isn’t until Beowulf hears a loud voice. “Beowulf,” it said. Frightened, and perturbed, he replied, “Hello, who is speaking. Show yourself. Who are you?” The voice speaks again. (1) “Beowulf

My dearest Lord and Lady, This new castle that I have designed will be protected both by the way of god and the great deficiencies I have fitted it with. Imagine the greatest architectural achievement in hundreds of years. This great Castle will have many murder holes for invaders, many walls, and sniper towers to fight off the potential attackers. There will be very few attackers that will even attempt to invade us because they will get defeated in an instant. I will now tell you the order

Today is going to be a big day for the history of Scotland. After much tragedy, caused by the greed of the worst kind of men, order will finally be reestablished with the coronation of our new king: Macbeth. I, Ross, and all of the other noblemen of Scotland were invited to his castle for supper as part of the coronation tradition. I do have some concerns, however, about this whole ordeal, and that concern is shared amongst a handful of the other noblemen. Macbeth is certainly a worthy warrior, and

If I continuously have a positive attitude towards everything life would be so much better. Although being positive in every situation doesn't help, I still try to maintain positive. From this film I have learned to care for others despite the hate towards each other. In the film the two main characters William Rogers and Kelvin Owens hated each other because they were from rival gangs. The most influential scene from the film is when Kelvin Owens saves William Rogers from one of Kelvins gang members

own life in doing so. Peter Pan is not the hero of the story, he portrays un heroic qualities such as being self-centered, having too much pride, and not caring for human life like those that a child might have but with much more exaggeration. One quality that a good hero needs to have is selflessness, he should be able to think of others before he does of himself. Being selfish in times when someone is in danger could cost them their life and a true hero will save others before he saves himself.

we need it, the people that own the title of a hero are there for anyone to fall back on. Even America leans on the hero soldiers of our country. Each and every hero contributes so much to our society and relentlessly fights for their goals. Another popular belief is that most heroes are already famous and reached a godlike status, but that’s actually quite incorrect. “Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher
