Tony Stark Hero

For some people, being a hero or having heroic attributes includes zooming in with super speed to save to city from a monster, but in reality there are no aliens or super powers. A hero is someone who puts others needs before theirs, like Elie Wiesel in Night. Sometimes people aren’t considered heroes, but have heroic attributes like Hans in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Heroes like George Washington are heroes who are also leaders. Although many heroes are considered heroes, some are just put in situations where they must be heroic in order to survive.

“It’s not true that there are no heroes anymore…” (Oliver Stone SB 63) Heroes. Today when we hear heroes we think of superheroes with powers. but have we really thought what heroes really are? Heroes are your regular everyday people that work to the best of their abilities to make a difference in the world. A hero is not someone who thinks about themselves but someone who does things that they believe are right and are admired or idealized for their courage.

When people think of a hero, they do not understand you don't need to be just like superman, you don't need to be able to fly, or be immortal and never die. There is no need to wear a mask, save the world, or have special powers. To me, any regular person can become a hero in their own way. I believe a hero can be found in any piece of literature, most main characters are all heroes, but they are all heroes in a different way. To me, in order to be a hero, all you need to do is put someone else's life in front of your own, if you can change someone else's life you can then call yourself a hero. Aristotle once said that a tragic hero is "one who does not fall into misfortune though vice or depravity, but falls because of some mistake".

When people imagine a hero, one would picture a tall, buff man who is wearing a cape or possibly, a mask. Kids and adults alike would automatically think: Spiderman, Batman, and Superman. However, how does one truly define a hero? The Merriam Webster dictionary explains that the definition of a hero is, “a person admired for achievements and noble qualities,” and when comparing Merriam Webster’s definition to the heroes shown in Marvel’s comics and films; the definition suits the Marvel characters well. When watching Spiderman, you see a man who protects a city with fictional spider senses. While, similarly, Batman protects the world of criminals to make up for the death of the character’s parents.

Bravery can be looked at in two ways, mental and physical. Mental bravery is the trait to keep pushing forward, to keep fighting for something greater. It can be very hard to constantly keep conquering the next battle. Everyone growing up American or even immigrating later on in life may not have had to endure the same hardships, but living in the greatest country in the history of the world gives you brash mental high knowing where you are. Bravery when looked at this way shows strength, strength to have a no quit attitude.

Heroes do extraordinary things and often tend to be people or figures we place on a pedestal whom often have made inspirational sacrifices (Allison and Goethals 24-25). Heroes as courageous, selfless and skillful humanitarians. They can be extraordinary athletes or even someone who gives the gift of time and or sacrifice (Allison and Goethals 26-30). Fictional heroes are described as self-confident, suave, extremely virtuous, and attractive.

In the movie Superdeafy, a boy named Jacob Lang who is deaf struggles with life and school because he can’t hear. He as two parents that are both hearing but they both know ASL. His mother signs to him all the time but his father thinks they should not sign to Jacob. They put Jacob in a hearing class, and since Jacob cannot hear he is struggling and does not know what is going on in the classroom. Later on the in the movie I figure out that the teacher is still hearing but she knows ASL. Jacob loves this superhero named superdeafy or Tony. Well Tony is deaf and he has a show where he teaches kids how to sign and teaches them about deafness.

Everyone knows about superheroes and everyone has a favorite if it begin superman or batman. Not all heroes have to be superheroes many people have heroes in their life too. Heroes could be anybody in someone’s life that helps them a for example many people's heroes are their parents because they help them in their life. The difference between a superhero and a hero is that heroes are normal people just trying to help while superheroes are just a made up character in a book or movie. Everybody makes mistakes we are all human but the difference between a normal person and a hero is that when a hero makes a mistake they work to fix it or overcome the problem.

All heroes are not fictional characters that have extraordinary or superhuman powers. A hero to me is a skillful or successful person who can motivate me and bring my confidence to the next level even through my down falls. A super hero in my eyes does not have any powers although you might think they do but it’s always their determination and focus that makes me believe heroes have super powers. Now that I have given you an idea of a hero to me, I can now move on to explain different types of heroes.

Not all heroes wear capes. Nowadays, an ordinary person can also be a hero by helping others when they are in diffucult situation. A hero is a person who has the courage and not completely crumbles by fear. They do good things for others with no cost or benefit to themselves.

     Bravery is a great trait for a hero to posses. I think bravery is a key quality because you don’t always know what lies ahead of you and you have to be brave to continue. A good example of this is Charles Lindburgh. He was the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. I believe that took a great amount of bravery because no one had ever made it across, so he didn’t know what lie ahead of him. One of his many good quotes he said, “The most effective way to do it, is to just do it”, (Lindburgh 1).

In the movie ‘Iron Man’, the main hero is Tony Stark. Tony is a very successful businessman and is very smart. At one point in the movie, Tony decides to design and built a suit in which the pilot can fly, shoot out of their hands and mid chest, and can take a bullet very well. At first, he was not designing the suit to save people. It was more of a military experiment. Once he “saved” one person, he started to do it more and more. The more he saved people, the more he became known, and eventually he was starting to be called ‘Iron Man’, and a hero he became.

Fighting for a cause that you believe in can be scary and tough, but being courageous is choosing to act and fight despite the fears that are faced.
