Although it is a literary device, the idea of a tragic hero can be applied to real-life figures in society, in this case Lance Armstrong, a professional cyclist, began as an adopted child that into a common family. Armstrong’s story differs from the common Shakespearean hero, but he later achieved his nobility through cycling. From a young age he competed in triathlons that ranged from swimming to what he took a passion in, cycling. Despite being very new to the professional scene, within one year he and his team had won a championship hosted in Norway. Suspicion rose about his sudden success, but he persevered with the new goal of fighting against his recently discovered testicular cancer.

What is the value of life? The answer varies from person to person. Everyone has different perspectives and morals.people have different different experiences that can shape and bend their views on life and how they perceive it. The trials, tribulations, and trauma people go through can impact their thought process and how they see and value their life and the lives around them.

Should people put the value of life into monetary value or should life be kept solely as an emotional quantity? People and societies throughout the ages have been trying to answer the problem of putting the value of life into terms of dollar bills. The ancient Egyptians buried their dead with all of their worldly belongings. They believed a person’s monetary worth on Earth was over, and they should take all of that earthly worth with them to the afterlife. Modern day Americans are different from the Egyptians. Today people believe that the families of the dead should be compensated for “their” loss.

Should we as a society set a monetary value on life, or let it exist on an emotional level? Are the accomplishments we achieve and the money we make throughout our lifetime the only things that determine what our life is worth after death; or should it be based on the value that the individual put upon their own experiences. In contemporary American Society, this question remains to be asked when someone loses their life. In the excerpt from Chris Jones’ “Roger Ebert: The Essential Man” The struggles which Ebert Endures, and the high value he remained to keep on his own life was revealed, which displayed his own personal value of life and how it is precious throughout the conflict. I agree with this mentality completely, because one’s circumstances may outweigh another’s, meaning that there is

A person’s worth should not be defined by one’s financial assets. Through the words of author Amanda Ripley in “What is a life Worth?” the reader is introduced to the concept of determining life’s abstract value into actual dollars

Olimpica athlete, Survived 2 plane crashes, cast away for 47 days, P.O.W for two years, three books, Louis Zamperini went through a lot before he died at the old age of 97. His actions and achievements were so amazing there were three books and a movie made about him. And this is going to show just how accurate that move was compared to the true events.

When it comes to the topic of the value of life. Most of us will readily agree that there is no amount of money that can equal the loss for a loved one.. Where this agreement usually ends however, is on the question of whether or not the government has the right to assign a dollar value on the human life. While some are convinced that a dollar value is enough other believe that there is no dollar value that can compensate for their lost loved one. Society should base the value of life based on that person's future income in expected life to live.

His actions were inspiring because even though he died, he still managed to live a good while in the wild, he lived a life the way he dreamed of having, without any abuse or traumatic incidents in his household with his parents. He proved to everyone that it doesn't take a whole lot to survive it just takes pride and confidence that you can and that you will. His motivation is what got him there and his never ending work, he worked his way up to alaska and nature granted him the freedom he

Louie Zamperini is an example to follow. Not because he was an athlete or a solder, because of his actions and motivations The most important, from my point of view, is his family. He would've done everything for them. That's the most important reason why he decided to change and by the same way change others. The best example for that is when he stared running, he was doing it for his mama, for his dad and Pete and his sisters, and that before doing it for himself. An other example is when the Japanese gave him the opportunity to speak on radio, the first thing that he did was speaking to his family and how much he missed them. Another remarkable thing that Zamperini did was being the life of the raft. He was the one who was giving hope to

In 1996, at the age of 25 Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer that spread to his brain, lungs and abdomen. He educated himself about the cancer and its treatment.

Therefore, he created a foundation with the purpose of helping others who are diagnosed with cancer. It is a non-profit organization.

Reading the Christopher Reeve article has made me reflect how I live my life. I live a very fast paced life style. I wake up get ready, drive to work and drive to school. It is all very routine I never really stop to enjoy the little things in my life. As I continue to read the article I could not believe the things Christopher Reeve went through after the accident. For example the complete loss of his independence. One thing that really stood out to me was the simple task of breathing. He had to rely on a machine to breath and if the machine were to fail he had no way of communicating that he needed help. All he could hope for was that somebody would hear the alarm and act quickly to properly connect the machine. I also found it surprising

The man’s courage resulted in his death but he died with more perseverance then most people today have. The unnamed man’s grit should be the poster for never giving up. He is a role model because he set his mind to something despite his outcome he did not stop because of what somebody said or because the journey got hard. Everybody needs a role model like him in there

I believe value is something only an individual can assign to their own life based on experience and significance. A life is’t an object you can place a price on, it’s a complex network full of experiences good and bad shared with others. Everyone on this planet has value not just to themselves but to others as well but that value is higher than any amount of money existing. Everyones life has an effect on the people around them. If you were to die tomorrow everyones life in your network of family and friends would change
