Captain Americ The American Dream

Half of the person we become is an impression of the ones we admire. Growing up in the United States every child has someone they look up to. This most likely is an individual that represents success and the values we are taught to respect. Superheroes have always served as something good in our lives because they make us want to help the world and feel like we can do anything. Superheroes represent qualities that we should all attempt to embody. What Captain America truly represents can be interpreted in many ways, but there are messages being conveyed. The authors of “Captain America: The First Avengers” use rhetoric to express the social ideology that being a hero is not exactly how strong you are, but what values

Liberty clicked his beak again and narrowed his eyes. Liberty and Captain America, they were to be the perfect duo. The perfect thing to bring up morale and help pull the American people out of the sorrow brought upon them by the war being fought overseas. Since when did the American people need anything more than him? He had always been enough and now he wasn't.

During the beginning of the film, Steve is asked “Do you wants to kill Nazi’s?” by Dr. Erskine, this question is a test to see if he is fit to take the super-soldier serum. Steve answers, “I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they come from.” By not giving into the obvious violent answer, Steve is challenging the masculine code that men need to be violent. This is what makes Captain America different from other

It is imperative to note that there are various ideas that are associated with this meme. For instance, the idea that the society is a body that is entirely governed by the powers of Captain America after the civil war has only developed in perception of the years. The Americans believe that Captain America is the controller of the society`s welfare and the various actions that are not of the legal framework. In addition, this meme approaches that the forces behind Captain America cannot be defeated by evil forces that have succeeded

To begin, a doctor, named Dr. Erskine, from New York, New York created Captain America in 1941. This was a time when Americans were very proud of their nation and centered everything around World War II. The community was mostly anti-German, since Germany was one of the three countries America was battling during World War II. Captain America, who was known as Steve Rogers before he transformed over, was a scrawny boy who failed to meet the requirements to join the military. Eager to join, Steve Rogers volunteered himself for an operation that Dr. Erskine planned to conduct, which would alter his physique to that of a super human. After ingesting the “Super Soldier Serum,” Steve Rogers transformed into Captain America. His muscles and reflexes were greatly enhanced, as well as his height and frame. An agent from Nazi, Germany assassinated Dr. Erskine because he

The All-American man, Captain America embodies the American ideals from WWII through War on Terror. Created in 1941, Captain America was created to boost morale in WWII, by encouraging Americans to act justly. The Captain America comics, along with others that were popular during the time, aimed to do four things: unite the American people behind the war effort, rebut Axis propaganda, encourage vigilance against enemy spies, and to portray

An "American Dream" is the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American, (Dictionary.com). The term "American Dream" has many different interceptions. "Life, Liberty, and The persuit of happiness," (Declaration of Independence), is the well known interception many Americans and myself strive for. For my life dream I want to live as one with God, Follow in the steps of Christ, and pass on my religion. Everybody dies one day, and I would not feel complete as a person if I didn't complete my life dream. For my liberty dream is to be actually given liberty. Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or

The biggest takeaway here is that the next writer of Marvel's Captain America will be a guy who fundamentally hates America...because that will put butts in seats. Youtuber Yellow Flash has already stated that he will boycott this comic given Coates past comments in which he called 9/11 first responders "Not human" for their playing a part in the oppressive system and referred to “White America” as a “syndicate” designed to “dominate and control our bodies.”

Leading the heroes is Steve Rogers, who is also known by his super hero identity “Captain America.” Captain America was a soldier who fought in World War II and was tested with a “Super Soldier Serum” to go from being a wimp, to a dignified leader. As every great story of triumph ends, Captain America faces a horrible tragedy. After a fierce battle with his greatest enemy, “The Red Skull,” Captain America is frozen inside of an iceberg, trapped for seventy years. When he woke up, everyone he knew was gone and nothing was the same to him ever again. He is a courageous man and as Professor Xavier, the leader of the X-men and one of the smartest people within the Marvel Universe, states, “No man in existence equals your courage, Captain America!” (Page 41). Captain America uses his courage on the battlefield to lead the heroes and promotes the use of humane actions, such as refraining from killing an enemy and instead taking them as prisoner, to help the heroes stay with their heroic nature and get out of the war with their sanity

Many people, including myself, had their lives changed by many people and characters through many books as well as movies. Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America, has influenced me a great deal throughout my life. Captain America has and will be one of the most influential characters in history. Many people grow up loving Captain America and love him throughout their lives. He’s a natural-born leader, a war hero, compassionate, and he is determined.

His shield is his primary weapon, which he uses for both offensive and defensive purpose. Captain America possesses many qualities that make a Traditional Hero. He is a strong leader by taking charge in leading the team and making important decisions. The team very much respects him and he is extremely well liked by his peers, but also by the population, being a legend. Alone his suit and especially his shield reflect his highly moral character.

Once again, the fans look at Captain America not as someone who works for the United States government, but represents the people. While both can be reaching for the same goal, at the end of the day, Cap will do what he must to protect and serve the American people, and “fights for the American Dream.”

Captain America asks the viewer to stay passionate. He doesn’t want there to be a third party like incentive. For instance, his friend joined the military and began going out with woman. Woman was his friends incentive to enter into the military. Captain America wants the viewer to remain passionate after they’ve received incentive. In the film, Steve Rogers is, physically, the spitting image of a nobody- of his confidence. Hes pale, and unfit with a small frame and bland words. He doesn't feel he can talk to woman, although he strives to get into the military, he keeps his doubts. But after his transformation into a taller, sweatier, and larger build with more muscle. In that moment he has the confidence to take down a hydra spy.

As regular human beings, we presume we couldn’t ever compare ourselves to the superheroes we perceive in comic books or on a movie or TV screen. We believe this because superheroes are admired and ideal people who own superpowers, superpowers that have the ability to make the world a better place. Yet, what we don’t see is other than the superpowers, we aren’t too different. Superheroes have strengths and weaknesses, passions and morals as we do. I myself, feel as though I can compare my strengths and weaknesses with Captain America, also known as Steve Rogers. Captain America is my hero of choice because he possesses noble morals and beliefs that allow him to always form the right choice, he deeply cares for others and is extremely humane. Lastly, another strength we both have in common is the leadership and collaboration it takes to lead or be a part of a team.

The United States of America was established as a land of freedom, and a country where every man would be created equal not matter of their skin color. The American Dream has many different interpretations to different people, but to me the American Dream is the ability to have freedom to live in the pursuit of life, liberty, and justice. Many people in the past have fought for their freedom and the freedom of others that we enjoy today. We are able to privileged to have these American freedoms today because the Founding Fathers fought for what is right. I have learned of the many brave men and women throughout American history that have challenged common beliefs, and they have inspired me to try to find my interpretation of the American Dream, which has influenced my life in the past, and will continue in my future.
