Historical Memes : Captain America

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

In “The Most Embarrassing Viral or Meme,” I also put effort on analyzing by showing reasons that I am not an intended audience of “Average Homeboy.” Therefore, the readers can clearly understand the message conveyed by my analysis.

The film Captain America is a classic piece of American cinema that was intended to ignite patriotism in the hearts of all who view it. To accomplish this task the director had to make connections between the audience and the hero. The film uses pathos ethos and logos to make this necessary connection. Through these aspects the director is able to show the true character of Captain America and also successfully develop what kind of character he is. Although pa-thos ethos and logos all play a role in the development of the film without an emotional con-nection through pathos the other two would not be nearly as effective.

It’s a story we know all too well - a seemingly Indomitable nation watches as its greatest accomplishments are torn apart in the powerful jaws of the only thing large enough to consume such a body with inexhaustible ends... itself. It is one that has been so feared, that to this day, literature and arts race to tell of the next episode of how something the human race has done has screwed us all again, and yet, its reality has been repeated over and over again in history, the fall of Rome, Napoleon's last stand, the demise of the Axis empire… hardly anything stood in their way, hardly anyone but their own wretched selves accompanied with the lonely friends unhappiness and greed. Yet, has America not combated the great plagues of the past? Has it not stopped waging war and creating enemies, content to instead build its great walls of protection

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

Daredevil is an epic hero because he displays great intelligence, he demonstrate values and ideals, his quest affects more than himself, and he possesses a character flaw. The Daredevil is a blind hero with increased hearing and sensing abilities. First, the daredevil shows intelligence by solving cases as a lawyer. For example, they were so close to solving an older women's case before she is killed by a villain. Secondly, the daredevil demonstrates values and ideals by fighting off villains for Hell's Kitchen. For instance, he fights off the people trying to overthrow Hell's Kitchen and the people involved with the villain. Next, his quest affects more than himself it affects Hell's Kitchen. Everything that he does helps keep Hell's Kitchen

The year is 1933. Adolf Hitler is elected as Chancellor of Germany, the U.S. struggles through the Great Depression, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt is elected as the U.S. President, and almost assassinated. But that’s not what this is about, that’s the boring stuff. This is about the revolutionary idea that changed American pop culture forever. 1933 was the birth of the American comic book. The birth that ended up becoming a success. In fact, it became so popular that it’s still around today! I mean come on, these days it’s tough to keep something revived, especially if it’s from the 1930s. A bit later, the first graphic novels were introduced. The graphic novel would no longer be the same old repetitive childish superhero story, but a new, more

This book is going to be extremely important in my argument because it helps to show the true character of Captain America. It shows how he stands up for what he believes in, even when it makes him the least popular guy in the room. It also shows that he knows when to back down. When things escalate in the book, Captain America surrenders because he knows that the whole situation has gone too far. That shows that he is smart and uses his judgments when making decisions. It shows that he isn’t too prideful to step down from a challenge, unlike a lot of other superheroes. You can always tell more about a person when the pressure is high, that’s why this book is perfect because it shows that Captain America is still the best superhero when push comes to

I chose Captain America for my Western Hero. Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America in 1940 who was designed as a patriotic super soldier who fought the axis powers of World War II. Captain America is one of the oldest and most recognizable superheroes in American comic books. No other superhero has stood as a bolder symbol of patriotic American ideals and values. The first issue of the comics portrayed him in his red-white-and-blue costume, punching Adolf Hitler in the mouth, which set the aggressive tone for the entire series. Captain America spent the war years safeguarding American interests against conniving German and Japanese agents. He became Marvel's most successful and most popular attraction of the World War II years. The

Overtime there has been many images, quotes, phrases that tend to “catch on.” Not just in today’s society but over multiple decades there have been different types of “memes.” They can range from an image to a lyric in a song. Almost anything really can be classified as a meme. Memes can have a good or bad influence on a person’s emotions. For example, in today’s society there is an image of a girl who has a “crazy girlfriend” look, this is just one of many things a meme can be. A meme is anything that spreads throughout a culture or society and it became popular or even unpopular. This meme was created after a YouTuber loaded a video onto the internet and does a parody version of the Justin Bieber song “Boyfriend.” After the video goes viral people look at her video and see a link submitted on the video that takes them to the “Overly Attached Girlfriend” thread. There are many things that can be described in this meme through ethos, pathos, logos and kairos (Don, “Overly Attached Girlfriend”).

As everyone knows the superhero movies are now more exciting than previous them, especially Captain America the Civil War episode. By this I mean that, in general most superheroes fight with the enemy of human being. As well as we clearly know who are the right or wrong group. Nevertheless, it is not the similar characters in the Civil War because their traits are more complexity. In this episode, the superheroes have more complicate factors for decision what is right and wrong things. That is why we see two groups of superheroes who have confliction. For my opinion, I am site by site of Captain America with my own reasons that statements are below;

Memes have taken over our society. They have invaded everything that we know from food, music, movies, and TV shows. A meme is recognized as an idea, behavior, and a style that spread through individuals’ within a culture. Memes come in a variety of forms such as TV and movie references that are expressed in an image, jokes, minor everyday consequences or piece of text. The word meme was coined by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene in 1976. Now with the internet memes spreads quickly throughout society. Bill Wasik a senior editor at wired magazine wrote a book named And then there’s this. In one of his chapter entitled “My Crowed Experiment: The Mob Project”, he talks about how out of his boredom he created a flash mob a social

There are many aspects of American life that greatly influence the culture of its citizens that are unlike any cultural aspect of other countries. One such aspect is the American comic book. Other countries have comic books and have had them for decades, but no other country has as deep an attachment to the characters in their comic books or even the comic books themselves. Comics matured from a simple series of hand drawn pictures telling a story to full blown books, and the characters in them blossomed into full blown cultural icons that pervade every aspect of American entertainment, from the comic books themselves, to movies, television, toys, clothes, and even amusement parks.

In 1940 there was a rise in popularity for patriotic themed superheroes caused by the creation of the hero the Shield. As a result, in 1941, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon created the second most iconic superhero in Marvel comics, Captain America. (“Marvel comics database.”) Captain America, whose original name was Super American, was a consciously political character that was used to attack enemies of the United States, and had become Timely Comics most

A meme has two definitions; Dawkins definition, and internet memes. Charles Dawkins first coined the term meme in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene, and was referring to cultural ideas, beliefs, fashion, practices, etc. In his book he came up with a theory that memes develops similar to how genes spread in organisms. Memes transmit from one mind to another through speech, writing, or any form of communication. Likewise genes
