Hero Vs Hero

Heroes willfully put their own life in the place of someone else’s. In other words, a hero risks their life for another person because they wish to benefit the society they live in. This creates a more superior society for the

Are there heroes in today’s society? No one thinks of themselves as a hero, but it does not take any special skills to be a hero because anyone can be a hero. The characteristics of a hero only show up when there is a time of need such as a major catastrophe or minor incidents that happen on a daily basis. During the twenty-first century there have been quite a few major catastrophes. The major catastrophes include the 9/11 attacks, two major hurricanes (Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy), and the Boston marathon bombing. There are also several different major and minor characteristics that a hero will show in times of need. For instance some major characteristics of a hero are perseverance/determination, bravery/courage, dedication/endurance, and selflessness/sacrifice. Some minor characteristics include humility, fearlessness, skill, strength, integrity, and intrepidity (Wanamaker, 2013). In the twenty-first century the 9/11 attacks is the first major catastrophe. During this major disaster there were quite a few individuals who helped to rescue people. There were heroes in each of the three crash sites that occurred on that very eventful day.

In the eyes of today’s society, heroes are viewed as citizens who have accomplished what seems to be the impossible. Whether imaginary or not, heroes are looked at with awe and congratulated for what they have done for the society. However, there is a much simpler way to be a hero. A hero does not have to be able to climb walls, fly over the city, or even save someone from a burning building right before it crumbles down. A hero is simply someone who goes out of the way to give help to those around them that need it. This hero does not need recognition in what he or she does, but takes pride in what they have accomplished for others. In the novel Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis, Bardia, the King’s lead guard, acts as the hero for Orual

A hero and a villain are complete opposite from each other. Heroes normally save the day and defeat the villains who try to created mayhem. In most stories the hero is the protagonist, the main character in the story that is trying to achieve a goal. Heroes are greatly admired for their honest, brave, fair, and clever personality. However villains can be viewed as what a society fears. Unlike heroes, villains conduct devious acts of mishap. Villains play the role of the antagonist in most stories, the character that attempt to prevent the protagonist to achieve their goal. Both the hero and the villain play an important part in explaining culture

Panic struck the people of New York City. Black, billowing smoke began to rise. The beloved Twin Towers had been destroyed. During the chaos and madness that occurred on the day of 9-11-01, some people acted and did all they could to help those around them, even though they knew obstacles stood in the way. Those people are true heros. Heroism is acting in times of need when obstacles may stand in the way, being willing to sacrifice everything, and not letting setbacks keep from achieving goals and being an inspiration to others.

Being a hero is something everyone is capable of with bravery and intelligence. You don’t have to be a Greek God to be a hero, you can be a simple, average person living in a regular town. Heroism is not your social status and ruling the land, it is the qualities you possess and how you use them. Both the short story “The Hero’s Test” by Alisoun Witting and the short story “The Red-Headed League” by Arthur Conan Doyle shows heroism and how anyone can be a hero.

When the thought of the tragic events of 9/11 comes to mind, most people think about death and despair. It takes a certain perspective to understand and appreciate another side of the events. Heroes, in their truest form, rose from the smoke of 9/11. From going the extra mile to save someone in worse condition than them, to aiding to the rescue and evacuation of Manhattan, all of the heroes on 9/11 did something that wasn’t required of them, something that they did selflessly, helping ones who, even in their own desperation, were worse off than themselves.

A hero needs to be brave enough to attack for what is right. When Odysseus and his men were lead by his curiosity to the Cyclops’ cave they ended up getting trapped and some were eaten. Then Odysseus came up with the plan to blind the Cyclops but not kill him since he was the only way for them to get out. The Cyclops was larger than him and stronger than him, yet he proceeded to blind him. Also, when he and the few men he had left had to travel by the Sirens he faced his challenges head on. He did not have to travel beside them but he went anyways.

The term “hero” in modern day English is defined as someone who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities, but who and as well as what makes a hero is more up to the eyes of the beholder than anything else. While a hero for many is someone that plays a role model figure in their lives, many a time do they forget that they themselves are one of the most heroic and courageous persons in their lives. Tasks such as overcoming crippling depression, working up the courage to step out of one’s comfort zone and try something new, or working through a traumatic death in a family are all examples of invisible heroes, heroes that cannot be seen but are felt instead. These “invisible heroes” play a role in shaping us into who we are, and many times fight battles within us that we do not even know are taking

The difference between a hero and a villain is the same as the difference between right and wrong or good and bad. A villain is bad while a hero is good. Some villains may not look like villains. Villains could wear a disguise as a method to get through people or to get away with any of their wrongdoings. Just like a villain, a hero may wear a disguise if needed. Sometimes a hero can be a random civilian or a bystander when something bad takes place. I, like many other Americans, consider men and women in the military or armed forces to be heroes. I don’t think the word Villain is used as often as the word hero is used. While watching the news, you may hear reporters calling someone who does something heroic a hero but they usually don’t call

Heroes are not always people who lead marches or do things for their country. For example policemen, firefighters, nurses, lifeguards etc. are heroes everyday because they take the time to save lives. When they’re going through a challenge or trying to overcome a conflict they always have courage. These people risk their own life to save someone else’s. To be more specific Dr. Ginger Holt from Dallas had saved a little boy’s leg. She was confident and determined to finding out what went wrong in the boy’s leg and went through many procedures looking at the tests.

The youngest hero and Junior both demonstrated many strengths in their lives. Both men wanted to help people and make life better for them. The youngest prince was very helpful and tried his best when people needed his help unlike his brothers. Junior learned from his mistakes and taught his brother not to make the mistakes he did. But, each of them are heroes in their own way. Since both of them are not true stories they are not talked about today. But, both of them demonstrate what it takes to be a hero. These two heros, The youngest prince and Junior also faced some big challenges.

The SuperHero I want to compare myself to is SuperWomen because she likes to help people. I compare her to me because when I graduation I want to be CNA which means I have to help people that can't help themselves when they have surgeries and or have a mental issue with they’re brain or physical not balanced at all. Also Superwomen is a strong and tough women at heart, but once it get down to helping people she takes that very seriously when it comes down to saving people, just like me when it comes down to helping people, making them smile, and make they're day great I'm serious about that, but once it comes down to me standing up to someone and being the bigger person I am tough enough to do that for myself or doing it for someone else

A bead of sweat dribbles down the nape of my neck. My hand trembles as I reach out to greet one of the world's most renowned film producers. How could Kevin Feige choose me of all people to play a lead in his next Marvel movie? I was absolutely enthralled. My heart thumped practically out of my chest as my obnoxious grin, seemingly painted on my face, attempted to conceal the jitters. After finally extending me a decision to make, my mind was a whirlwind of emotions, clearly expressed through my facial expressions.

“A hero is someone who, in spite of weakness, doubt or not always knowing the answers, goes ahead and overcomes anyway.” - Christopher Reeve. Average everyday people face many challenges and overcome them most of the time, but there are certain challenges they just give up on. They start getting into a certain mindset where they claim they can’t overcome the challenge. A hero, however, sticks to the right mindset and keeps trying and getting better, despite the obstacles facing them. Even though they aren’t always able to save everything all the time, heroes risk and strive to reach their goals and do their best while exhibiting determination and modesty.
