The Characteristics Of A Hero In Toy Story

Toy Story 2 deals with both sides of the conflict surrounding ‘identity versus confusion’, typically occurring during adolescence between the ages of 12 and 18 (Cherry, 2016). Towards the beginning of the film, an incident occurs in which Woody’s arm is torn by Andy. From here, Woody is placed on a shelf, segregated from Andy and the rest of the group. Visible and dramatic facial expression to exaggerate his emotions to the younger viewers. Audible confusion and sadness as Woody exclaims ‘Andy!’ and the body language implies his confusion regarding his personal identity, as well as not being sure about himself or his place in society (McLeod, 2013) In relation to the humans in this film, when Woody’s arm is torn, his self-worth has decreased

As they are all escaping the daycare, Lotso approaches and pushes them into the dumpster. Thankfully for Woody, the baby expresses his good heart and throws in Lotso into the dumpster with them. Sadly, the dumpster was just picked up and was off to the landfill. As they were fighting to get out of the landfill before the big fire, Lotso escapes and leave Woody behind. Woody and his friends were doomed, but at the last second the claw came down (controlled by the Aliens), and were picked them up and brought to safety. Finally, Woody returned and brought the gift of, being a hero to his friends, and the gift of remembering his past mistakes. The hero's journey in Toy Story 3 was expressed through the toy cowboy: Woody. Throughout his journey, he learned to be courageous and to be determined. As he was being taught through the journey and by the mentor he was learning how to become a hero. Without this key journey, the story of the movie would not be the same. Instead, the path of the story could have been accepting your mistakes because of the mistake of going to daycare. But from the journey, he learned a different lesson and is now a hero for helping his friends get out of the daycare.

‘Toy Story 1’ is a story about a boy named Andy and his toys. Woody, a cowboy toy, was the leader of a group of toys and also Andy’s favorite. One day, Andy received a space ranger Buzz Lightyear action figure as his birthday present. However, Woody became resentful about that since Buzz replaced him as Andy's favorite toy and got attention from other toys. Buzz did not care about the reaction of the toys as he regarded himself as a real space ranger on a mission to return to his home planet. Few days later, Woody accidentally knocked Buzz out of the window and resulting in the other toys rebelling against him. To regain the trust of the toys, Woody left the house to find Buzz. Although Woody successfully found

It is in these actions that the character’s traits are established. It is in this that we, the readers, get to “see” what kind of character thee people are: friendly, sad, nosey, love-struck, adventurous, etc. When we discuss characters in literature, poetry, and even film, we often describe them in terms of their character traits, descriptive adjectives that define the specific qualities of the character. The author/ poet/ director may present this directly, but often times, they show us this in action. Our job as readers/ viewers is to draw conclusions about the character’s traits (infer them). Below is a list of ways we can determine the traits of the character we are studying:

Woody quickly becomes jealous and insecure with the arrival of Buzz and this turns him into a bully. Not the characteristics expected of a Disney hero. This is shown in the way Woody constantly ridicules Buzz making fun of his name and teases him maliciously about the fact he thinks he actually is a space ranger. This brings us on to Buzz. He is super confidant and suffers from delusions of grandeur. However although he may be a little irritating he is still likeable, cheerful and helpful. He has too much confidence in own abilities. This is why when he sees the advertisement for Buzz Lightyear Action figures he completely loses his will to live and is unable to do anything. This is another theme that self belief has a reflection in what you are able to do as they both find out at the end in that when they have confidence in themselves they are able to rise above seemingly insurmountable obstacles in rescuing Buzz and getting back to Andy. Another theme is that of appearances being deceptive. Woody and Buzz immediately consider the toys in Sid’s room as evil. The audience also get this feeling. Not only do they look disturbing but also they are also associated with Sid who is the main evil character. Despite their initial fears, Woody and Buzz are soon convinced that Sid’s warped creations are also prisoners and are in fact friends. It turns out that without the intervention of Sid’s toys Sid would

God has a reason for everything in life. Sometimes we do not understand his reasoning, we just have to stick to his plan and trust that he has put us on the right path. He sends people into your life to be your hero, to save you. In the novel Fearless, every person that came into Adam Brown’s life, plays the role of a hero in some way. Many people in this novel played the role of a hero, each in their own unique way.

On occasion when watching a show or movie or when reading a book we can come across characters to whom we can easily relate. For this assignment we were asked to do just that and find characters with whom we felt we shared characteristics that could be used to describe ourselves. The three fictional characters that I believe most represent my personality are Mal Reynolds from the show firefly and the movie Serenity for his loyalty and courage, Jack Sparrow for his silliness and free-spirited nature, and Alucard from the anime Hellsing for his professional demeanor and mannerisms.

A person's character says a lot about them, in a way it is what defines them. Your character is what you are known for. Beowulf, a fictional hero in the epic poem, “Beowulf” is perceived to be a very noble, honorable, good man. No, man

Crack sizzle sizzle.The fire went as Ponyboy and Johnny gallantly went back inside the burning church.This confirms how Ponyboy and Johnny are heros,knowing they would face their death by going.They were trying to help the kids stuck in the church,who had no way of getting out.

mind of a reader the character they relate with most is what makes the story interesting to read. We both stand up for what is right, we both have a calm temper until someone tries to infringe on our values, finally we both believe that what the right thing to do isn't always what should be done.

A hero is someone few people can be. A hero is someone who is able to do a task no one else can do and be able to help in situations of need. A hero is someone who puts others people’s needs ahead of his own to do what’s good. Someone who has all the qualities of a hero is Spongebob. In his film “The Spongebob Movie” Stephen Hillenburg uses the character archetype “the hero” to show that we as humans need someone to lead us because when we face life’s biggest challenges we need someone to help us out.

Woody is from the Pixar/Disney animated movie Toy Story, woody was played by Tom Hanks. In the movie woody see himself as Andy’s favorite toy. When Christmas comes around Andy receives a Buzz Light-year action figure. When buzz light year is unpackaged he thinks he is on an actual space mission. He says he is on a quest to fix his space ship and get back to his home planet. Woody thinks he is insane, as the story progresses woody and buzz find themselves in stuck in Sid’s house (Andy’s neighbor) where they have to escape the creepy messed up toys in order to get back to their owner Andy.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself” (Campbell 1). When we think of heroes most of us think of movie stars or professional athletes, but it’s not always about your popularity or talent it can also be about how you help society. What I think make a great hero is someone who is able to overcome his or her obstacles in life, is highly motivated, and has plenty of bravery.

humor,he is the character that I resemble the most. The three things I stated are two-bits most

individual person displays certain character traits. Some character traits that I feel set me apart from others and that I demonstrate on a regular basis are being sympathetic and considerate. Being considerate means to be thoughtful and careful to how others feel. Being sympathetic means to have an understanding with someone of a common feeling you both have felt. I feel that I demonstrate these traits everyday. For one instance is when I helped out to mentor some of the younger kids on my baseball team.
