The many heroic feats we hear of from 9/11 were not only committed by the hands of emergency personnel, but also by untrained civilians. In the air, flight attendants on hijacked flights managed to retain their composure, hunt down crucial information,and make contact with airlines. Passengers fearfully rallied together and rebelled against the enemy, knowing very well that they may not even survive. The courageousness of civilian heroes on the hijacked planes may not have stopped the attacks from happening, but it did help expose the hijackers, and even saved thousands of lives on 9/11.

The film Holes tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, a teenager who is wrongfully convicted of a crime and sent to a juvenile detention camp where the boys are forced to dig holes as a form of punishment. Throughout the film, Stanley undergoes a transformative hero's journey, where he faces challenges, overcomes obstacles, and ultimately discovers his inner strength and resilience. This essay will explore how the film Holes represents Stanley's hero's journey using film techniques and diegetic sound. Crossing the threshold is a crucial stage in the hero's journey where the protagonist leaves behind the familiar world and enters into the unknown. In Holes, Stanley's crossing of the threshold occurs when he arrives at Camp Green Lake, a harsh

The 9th one is hero’s journey is the atonement with the father. This is the point of the story were the hero wants more power only to discover that is was the dad that had more power. In the book Into The Wild, Alex’s atonement happened when he argues with his dad when he found out that he cheated. In the book Shooting an elephant there is no atonement with father. In the book The Stranger. there is no atonement. In the movie V for Vendetta, The movie never talked about V’s dad.

Dr. Jim Withers is a Hero in Disguise There are many heroes saving the world trying their best to do what’s best.

The Hero’s Quest is an archetypal journey a character embarks on, representing their quest of overcoming an obstacle and becoming a hero. The Hero’s Quest follows a specific pattern of stages the hero goes through on their quest. Typically this hero goes through great physical, mental and lifestyle changes to transform from a normal person into a hero on one quest, attempting to overcome one obstacle. Beowulf is an epic poem written during the time of the Anglo-Saxons; heroism is a motif commonly found in literature during this period. Beowulf tells the journey of a young man who transforms into a hero and accomplishes what was thought to be impossible. While Beowulf followed the archetypal qualities of the

I read the attached article in the Los Angeles Times recently. It is the story of a former Hells Angel who turned his life around as a result of a bad accident. He began climbing mountains and that led to the founding of a nonprofit foundation - the Heroes Project. According to the article, Heroes Project was born to inspire, train and accompany wounded vets to summit some of the tallest mountains in the world. I have climbed the two tallest mountains in California, Mt. Whitney and Mt. Shasta, and know how hard and uplifting it is. I do not know if you or U.S. Bank are familiar with the Heroes Project, but with Veterans Day this week and knowing our commitment to veterans, I thought I would forward it to you. This would be a great way

In "The Thematic Paradigm", Robert Ray explains how there are two distinctly different heroes, the outlaw hero and the official hero. The official hero embraces common values and traditional beliefs, while the outlaw has a clear sense of right and wrong but operates above the law (Ray). Ray explains how the role of an outlaw hero has many traits. "The attractiveness of the outlaw hero's childishness and propensity to whims, tantrums, and emotional decisions derived from America's cult of childhood", states Ray. (309) Ray also says, "To the outlaw hero's inconsistence on private standards of right and wrong, the official hero offered the admonition, you cannot

My first year, I worked on a business plan to revamp the website of Silver Cloud Inn (a local hotel company). I knew about technology, but nothing about networking or public speaking. The first week, I dropped off 100 customer surveys at the front desks of two hotels. I received three responses. Through trial and error, I eventually found myself in contact with the company’s COO and had the inside track to a great business plan. Still, I had to present to judges in competition. Fortunately, I was speaking about a project I was passionate about—improving a website that hadn’t been redesigned in 10 years. This made the iterative

Heroes. From the timeless tale of Beowulf to the well-known chronicles of Superman, cultures all throughout the world have taken it upon themselves to weave a fabrication of a fantastic being, said being a hero of a sorts, that always makes it to defeat the bad guy and save the day. Even whence we as human beings always tend to have our political, social, economic and religious differences, at the end of the day we all have one thing in common that fills our dreams with hopes of the future, of safety, of a peaceful life; heroes. Helping to define who we are and what we want to be, giving us hope and inspire us to head in the right direction, showing us that good will always triumph over evil and that anything is possible if you set your

The Hero’s Journey tells us the path that every hero takes in every story, and the conflicts that he faces throughout it. In the Ordinary World the hero is in comfort and tranquility until he is called upon to take this journey, into and unknown place called the Special World. The Special World is nothing like the Ordinary World, it has unstableness and that is where the hero will meet the villain which he must stop. In the Call Of The Adventure Stage, the hero will be presented with his challenge and will be told where to go and if he is willing to perform this journey. The Hero is left to choose if he has the courage to go to an extremely strange and unpredictable world. Next he will enter the Refusal Of The Call, here the hero feels frightened by the quest he must face and

At this essay, I will review the movie “12 O’clock boys”. This movie has two lines which make it interesting and unusual. The firs line is telling us a story about an urban motorcycle gang from North Baltimore and the second line is telling us a story about thirteen years old boy Pug who wants to be a part of 12 O’clock boys gang. The people who belong to this gang want to escape from the reality of life by doing crazy and dangerous things on the roads which make them feel free and powerful. Of course, this freedom and wildness attract teenagers who growing up without good and strong authority in their families. In my review, I would like to pay attention on several important aspects which provide us this movie such as how the environment may affect kids and how is important for people to be special and powerful.

The Hero’s Journey can be found in various films including “Big Hero 6”. If you have already seen this movie then you will know how Hiro, our main character, progresses throughout the 12 stages of the hero’s journey. In this movie Big Hero 6, Hiro Hamada shows what it means to be an epic hero throughout his journey with his diverse group of friends to save his world. In Hiro’s ordinary world, Hiro, who graduated from high school at 13 and is very smart, bot fights in a dark alley.

Nature is the playground for every human. It is essential that we include nature in our lives; it keeps us on our correct path. However, if we dismiss ourselves from nature, we begin to stray from our correct path. We become engulfed in the distractions from the modern world . The only approach to appropriate this quandary is to break our pervicacious ways and return to peaceful serenity known as nature.

From the assignment, I gained a better understanding of how technology builds a confident learning environment in the classroom for diverse students. Through the video segments and teacher led websites, my ELL and special education students were able to visually experience other cultures and customs that they would have been unable to read about due to the reading difficulty levels of informational text pieces. My SES learners were exposed to real-world experiences and an array of other culture groups through the use of the videos and internet searches. In addition, the internet research project allowed authentic collaboration among peers. The diverse student populations used their strengths to add to the learning of the project. Furthermore, the GT population was able to use their investigative resources and provide creative assistance to the other diverse student populations. Although I am overall pleased with the original assignment, I know that there are areas on which I could improve. In the area of assessment, I need to include a digital performance assessment as well. Research has shown that even primary students have the capability of independently producing digital media such as storybooks, presentations, and movies (Blair, 2012). A digital performance assessment would allow the diverse students to work at their levels to produce their own media presentation. I feel that this would be better suited to the preparation of 21st century learners than my original assessment
