Individual Heroism In Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom

Have you ever heard of a hoodlum performing a Good Samaritan act? Well, the typical stereotype is that hoodlums don’t do anything but hurt the community, but two boys broke that stereotype. The Greasers proved to be the heroes in the story, not like the beloved Socs. The three greasers who showed the most heroism are Johnny, Darry, and Dally. They sacrificed themselves to a more significant cause or to save the lives of others.

Heroes have achieved many feats that support the belief of a greater good and expressing valor and selflessness through the ages. There are fictional or real life accounts that have recognized these men and women for their vigor and marked them as heroes due to their events of success and motives of committing the heroic deeds. Yet there are copious amounts of people who have sacrifice themselves for a greater good but they have been lost through time even if their actions were prosperous or doomed in the end with a valiant purpose. They are unsung heroes who committed the actions based on their inner fire of what is right or honorable or rather than the fame they hope to achieve from those acts. The world or a populous may not know of their actions, but the actions and beliefs of an individual or group can entitle them of being hero-like without the necessity of recognition and success. They have lost their lives or a part of themselves to a cause based on righteousness rather than self-gain. They presented selfless heroism rather than the the intention to receive praise from the victories. Sacrifice contributes more to Heroism because the individual invested his or her own determination, valor and accepting the opportunity to risk their self-health (physical or psychological) based on great intentions rather than reaping the accolades of committing good deeds.

In the speech, “Heroes” by Tim O’Brien, he discusses what a true hero is; likewise, he elaborates his story about how he met him. O’Brien’s message on heroism is a true hero is not someone who wins a lot of games; however, it is the ones who sit in silence as we succeed or fail and is always there for us. He advocates this message through his flashback and imagery.

“Nobody in their senses carries potassium cyanide” said Doctor Armstrong (p73) Armstrong was bewildered who’s to say he wasn't the one who poisoned Anthony?

"A hero is someone who does something for other people. He does something that other men don 't ' and can 't do." How does heroism play an essential role in the narrative?

Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States once said, “Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.” People aren't heroes everyday. They have their moments of being a hero, some of their moments are big, others are small. Heroism is having perseverance, being selfless and sometimes sacrificing the things important to you.

Today we live in a superhero world, we live in a world where those who risk their lives for others are considered the braves and the embodiment of selflessness. However people cannot always make it out alive survive if they are constantly jumping into the front lines trying to save others. People cannot survive they go and take the bullet for someone else. People cannot always survive if they are jumping off the bridge after people they do not know. Most importantly, trying to save others does not always make the situation better, sometimes it the situation worse.

Theme is essential to any great work of literature, and while the following are certainly very different tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Beowulf and The Dream of the Rood each have particularly strong themes of heroism, though, they each have their own distinct idea of what heroism is, their own flavor one might say. It is partly because of their strong themes and ideas that they are still well-known and read today. A story without a theme or real purpose has little to no value whatsoever.

A possible theme for Oedipus the King by Sophocles is that one’s blindness can hide the inevitability that is his destiny. Oedipus is in this situation. He struggles to escape his fate: killing his father and marrying his mother and believes he is successful. Sophocles believes that the gpds control one’s destiny and the inevitability that a person will do what is destined despite there hero’s intentions.Oedipus represent the standards of a true tragic hero: he is well known, basically good, his punishment is out of proportion compared to his crime, the audience at some point feels sorrow and pity for him, and Oedipus has a tragic flaw. During the whole story Oedipus thinks that he may be able to change his fate a live life how he wants but he falls to that which is his destiny.For these reason Oedipus is truly an example of a tragic hero and is unable to avoid his tragic fate.

For instance being caught inside a burning house and having to figure out a quick escape route. Contemporary and Archaic idea of the concept shows similarity in relation to sacrifice; this could be an individual dying or endanger themselves in order to save another life.

Stephen Crane is a naturalist writer who uses many narrative elements in his writing to create naturalist themes. Naturalists believe that a person’s life is determined by factors like environment and chance, that free will is an illusion, and that people should endure their suffering with quiet dignity. Naturalists also believe that natural selection and survival of the fittest govern all people. Crane uses setting, characters, plot, and conflict to develop his naturalist themes. By comparing and contrasting his two stories “A Mystery of Heroism” and “An Episode of War,” readers can see different ways he uses narrative elements to produce naturalist themes.

Heros in stories are often invincible, if not juggernauts; Deus ex Machina makes sure of that. In real life, by contrast, has no author that can pen the hero in for an exemption of death. War though, in any case, works to the disadvantage of everyone, and doesn’t get that much accomplished. Most soldier’s hands are dirtied at some point, and most people are, to a greater or lesser extent, deal with the mire of the most uncouthly of endeavours. People who come back from war, still with the hope that their country, the world over, can change its ways, and quietly protests the belligerency of their leaders, are the true heros. Anyone who merely comes back from war, or doesn’t, can’t really be considered a hero, because the real enemy, is the need to have one. The two conditions to have when questioning the viability of the hero status, are:

Heroes today are known for creating something new or making an invention for the whole world. Also people such as scientists can be heroes because they discover new information that can be useful in the future. Heroes in the past are mainly based on war and doing something courageous.

The animated film released by Disney animation studios centers on Hiro, a hyper-intelligent 14 year old boy. The plot is based on the fact that his older brother, Tadashi dies in a fire while attempting to rescue what eventually is revealed as the antagonist. One recurring theme, vigilantism, presents itself in a manner which creates over-simplistic characters that do not address situations of anarchism in a productive manner. Notably, the first occurrence of vigilantism ends with Tadashi’s death; and while it presents the idea that acts of heroism can run awry, the rest of the movie contrasts this by favoring vigilantism. When Hiro makes the decision to attempt to save Abigail, he does not take his brother’s death into consideration when
