The Ellen Degeneres Show: Ellen Is A Hero

Roseanne Connor is a positive role model for someone in the thirties from the sitcom, “Roseanne”. She is a loud mouthed, outspoken, overweight, and unapologetically working class who made no attempt to be the perfect mom. Even though she did her best. She was raised by an abusive father and a mother who just stood by while this happen. She raises her family with truth and humor. She doesn’t hold back when most people would and she fights every day to put food on the table and make sure the bills are paid. She is from a working-class family that works hard for everything they had and they do not have much. This makes her one of the most realistic sitcom moms.

What is the definition of a hero? When you hear the word “hero” you may think of Superman or Captain America. I believe that this is incorrect thinking. Heroes don’t need to be big and muscular and famous. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word “hero” as “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities”. One figure in my life that I believe meet those qualifications is Mrs. Wendy Hornik. She has helped me on my way to becoming what I’ve always wanted to be since I could read, a writer. I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for her guidance and support. Mrs. Hornik has also given me remarkable advice. She once told me when I was faced with a difficult writing assignment for an advanced literature course to

Ellen Degeneres is a well-known celebrity, comedian, and TV show host. She often talks to others about their experiences with finding themselves and how they came to be where they are. In 2009, Degeneres spoke to the graduating class of Tulane University in Louisiana about perseverance and continuing life after bad things happen to them. For them, it was Hurricane Katrina and the housing market crash, and for her it was the death of her former girlfriend in a car crash and her painful conversation with God.

5. The story, Ellen’s Confession reminds me of why my mother and her generation are so supportive and active with respect to women's rights. Ellen’s mother was basically treated as a slave. Her husband forced her to give up some of her children, he completely ignored her health and was the cause of her worsening physical and mental condition. It was acceptable to sexually abuse her and seemed to just require a prayer to God beforehand . If that was the kind of marriage I had to live in I would most definitely try to avoid it. I also understand that when Ellen’s mother asked her to “never let a man come near you”(6) she could not betray her mothers dying wish and needed to stand up for herself, on principal, in a way her mother could not. Even

Ellen should be Person of the Year because she is motivational and selfless because she has given backpacks full of school supplies to kids that could not afford one and helping out a family that lost their father and the mother lost her job.

As much as I love Madeline Pryce, I didn't enjoy this book at all. I read almost of Madeline's book and everyone is I loved. But I just couldn't love or even like this one too much. The Hero was a real a**hole and stayed a**hole throughout the whole book. There was no redeeming qualities with him, he wasn't loving towards the heroine at all and she's not so great herself, she let the guy control and treat like like trash and took it and fell in love with him away. I'm sorry Madeline, this book is just way different from all the books you wrote. It seems like someone else wrote it.

My hero is Amy Goodman. She is my hero because she broadcasted and exposed the oil company that built the pipeline across the Native American’s land in North Dakota. She also has won peace awards for, obviously, trying to keep peace and showing the world what bad people are doing. Many people may dislike this outstanding person because she is a strong democratic liberal.
