The Ellen Degeneres Show: Ellen Is A Hero

What do you think of when you think of a hero? According to the Oxford dictionary, a hero is a person who is admired for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Heroes are especially popular in Greek myths and legends. Most showed generous behavior, even if it was not obvious until the lesson was learned. Oprah Winfrey is one of the most generous people of our time.

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

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 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.

Imagine you are a normal kid attending local high school. You get good grades and have loving friends around you. Now, imagine someone at school is bullying you for your sexuality.

Who actually sees a celebrity as a hero? In today's world many celebrities are seen as self-absorbed, don’t care about anything other than their appearance or gaining more wealth and fame.

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.

"I think what saved me is being honest. I think I somehow had the courage to do something and to say something that I knew would possibly end my career.

A talk show opportunity was offered to her and a lot of questions and doubts filled her head. DeGeneres cut the chase and wanted to live her true self so she came out. All she wanted was to be genuinely happy and honest with her audience, mostly for her own joy. As a consequence, her show was cancelled and the phone didn’t ring for three years.
