There are many stereotypes regarding heroes and what physical characteristics they should have and/or what they should look like. Tim O’Brien may not ride horses and have a six-pack with long curly hair, however, he does have what every other hero has - the personal traits. On the Rainy River is an autobiography by Tim O’Brien, that’s about his experience with war at a young age. In the story, there are multiple occasions of when Tim does specific actions that can be related to those of a hero.

We have all seen them in TV shows, movies, and music videos from the day. Greasers were heavily stereotyped gang members in the 40s and 50s that were known for their greased hair, switchblades, and leather jackets. How many of those are inaccurate, for greasers are not the only group that have been wrongfully stereotyped.

Humanity will always have stereotypes for just about anything. We even have different stereotypes for aliens and monsters for our science fiction, fantasy, and horror. O’Conner describes the setting and most of the characters normally and almost stereotypically southerner for “Good Country People.” She only made one character stick out of many stereotypes for that decade that we still think about today. Then yet, she camouflages another character with a stereotype.

In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the main character, Ponyboy, experiences the effect that stereotypes have on “Socs” and “Greasers”. Ponyboy is trying to find his place in the world, but is interrupted by the labels that society gives him. The Socs make the Greasers’ situation worse,by being a constant danger to the Greasers. There are three topics addressed in the powerful novel. The fight between the rich and the poor, the power of friendship, and what it means to be a hero.

While watching a series like Teen Wolf, one may tend to focus on the creepy, dangerous spin to what seems to be a cliché coming of age story. Though the main theme of the show is maturation, it is abundantly clear that the mythological aspects can all be an illusion for some deeper meaning.

Dill, Lydia, and Travis are the type of friends who will do absolutely everything for each other. They would totally jump into a pit of vipers if they were put in that position.

They’re so supportive, and push each other to be the best they can be and to be happy.
