Steve Rogers Character Analysis

In the 2011 film, Captain America: The First Avenger by Joe Johnston, a rejected military soldier transforms into Captain America after taking a super-soldier serum to fight in the war against a terrorist organization, and discovers that to be the hero everyone loves sacrifices have to be made. Steve Rogers, the main character, symbolizes a young man who wants to fight for their country in World War 2, but is too weak and small to be enlisted. The film reinvents the typical man by making Steve into a super-soldier making him taller, stronger, and better looking, thereby encompassing the physicality of masculinity. However, Steve ultimately rejects the modern conceptions of what it means to be a man which creates a new type of masculinity that focuses more on emotions and natural goodness, and is therefore somewhat feminized. Although the film appears to just be another stereotypical representation of a male leading others to victory fearlessly, it also challenges the hegemonic codes for masculinity while also presenting an idea of what a “real” man should be.

Batman is one of the many fictional superheroes which appears in the “American comic books” that is published by the DC comics. The character is a secret identity for Bruce Wayne, the only heir to Wayne Enterprises. Bruce Wayne swore an oath of vengeance when he witnessed the death of his parents;Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne (Diamond, 2015). Bat man combats criminals in Gotham: a fictional city, with assistance from various characters, for example, his butler Alfred and Gordon; Gotham city police commissioner. Unlike many of the superheroes characters, Batman possesses no powers .Bruce Wayne trained himself intellectually and physically .it is from dedication to training he possessed the useful traits of physical prowess, martial arts skills, detective skills and indomitable will to fight for justice. Though his motive is to combat crime and protect people of Gotham city from criminals, the justice system in most of the times views Batman as a villain and vigilante. He can inflict fear to Gotham city criminals thereby bringing calmness to the city. I identify myself with the Batman character through his selfless will for justice, his strong determination to do good

Steve was a young man when he was drafted into the military. He was sent to Vietnam to fight for American freedom, interests, and those who could not fight for themselves. While he was still a young man, he learned much from the experience and has earned respect from many people for his sacrifices. Thus, the United States should have a mandatory draft, not just for this reason but also including the assurance of national security, the reduction of unemployment, and it enables citizens from all walks of life to serve and see where this country’s freedom comes from.

Professor Crawford is a assertive human. He does not like to be corrected. The first time Jamal turned in an essay Professor Crawford doubted that he wrote it by himself. Crawford doubted Jamal because he was African American. Jamal is an extremely talented writer and Crawford knows, but he refuses to accept the fact and continues to bring Jamal down. Crawford wanted to see if Jamal can come up with his own words so he made Jamal write an essay with his supervision.

In the memoir The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates by Wes Moore, the main character Wes Moore grew up in the rough city of Baltimore, where the future of a typical black male teen is often associated with illegal activities.  Contrary to these discouraging expectations, he went on to become a successful and prominent business leader.  This unusual phenomenon is called being an outlier.  According to Malcolm Gladwell, an outlier is a “scientific term to describe things or phenomena that lies outside of normal experience,”. Wes Moore prevented his dark fate by not following the paths other had with the amount of opportunities he was given.  As Gladwell explained, “Success is the result of what sociologists like to call ‘accumulative advantage”’(30).  Wes Moore was given beneficial opportunities at the right time, along with proper guidance to make sure he was not left astray.  This was not common for people that lived in Baltimore in the 1990s, therefore making him even more of an outlier.  Using evidence from the memoir, The Other Wes Moore

The author of the book The Other Wes Moore and the other Wes Moore each encountered many struggles in their lives. Many times both boys were given opportunities from their mothers to change their ways, however what sealed their fate was when one boy had the ability to take his opportunity and work with it and the other did not which affected who they grew up to be. The author, like any young black boy, longed to fit in and assimilated into the stereotypes that the white people created for them. He longed to become the tough gangster, who ruled the neighborhood.

He knew that something would have to change and his mother agreed; she decided to give Wes the opportunity to change his life by shipping him away to military school. At first Wes resented being in this new institution and wanted nothing to do with it. Once he was able to contact his mother and learn of the sacrifices that were made, his mother took upon a new job and his grandmother and grandfather gave him their life savings, for the sake of his well being and education, Wes knew he had to make them proud.

In the beginning of Iron Man, the main protagonist, Tony Stark, was generally a bad person. He was an extreme example of the celebrity stereotype-- flashy, arrogant, self-absorbed, and rude. Stark took personal honors, as well as relationships with others, for granted. But that all changed when Stark was kidnapped by a terroristic rebel group. During his time as a prisoner, Tony saw what horrors his technology could be used for, and later escaped captivity humbled and changed. From the moment he returned, Stark’s character started growing into a caring and heroic figure. Specifically, Tony Stark emerged as a new man, actually caring for his assistant, Pepper Pots, being concerned about what
