What Makes A Hero

The main character Rick Grimes is in a group of about 14 people who have survived the apocalypse for 7 seasons. They have lost more than half the people they have now. Other than Rick the other two main characters are his son Carl and Michonne (Carl’s “best friend”). The other characters have become emotionally attached to the main three making a family

In relation to point one, something that makes Ponyboy Curtis a hero was his decision to risk his life and run into the burning church to save the children.

The heroes seize the reward when the boss is killed and they fulfill their duty to God. They also create a safer society for the average person in Boston. The road back includes the men looking at how their lives have changed and how they have become known as ‘Saints’ by all who hear of their actions. The resurrection is how the brothers do what they

Now, if you read between the lines you realize that Rick isn’t as he appears. He is said to have done odd jobs such as a roofer, a car parker, a painter, and a tree planter. Roofers tend to be of criminal background. Saying he is a car parker could be code that he stole cars. Painters go into people’s houses and spend time in the house when the family isn’t there. He probably robbed the houses. He probably just made up the tree planting thing to further reinforce the good guy persona. The main character also divulges to us that Rick made a copy of the gas station's bathroom key. That just reinforces a criminal background and the fact that he is using Rick for the disability money. Every relationship in this short story is based in greed. The producer doesn’t want to hire real actors so he can save money. Baldev was getting money to loan out his horrible basement. Lastly, the main character was taking as much advantage as possible of his disability and living conditions to get more

He is this hard guy who just wants to keep his family safe and find other survivors. Unfortunately he suffers and has to cope with his wife dying in childbirth and the challenge of now not only having a son, but now a baby to take care of. He goes through mental breakdowns, and has moments where he questions his own judgement and sanity. Yet at the end of the day everyone awknowledges he is the glue holding them together and they know that they can conquer anything with Rick leading them. He is resilient.

Dick and Eric are similar in multiple ways. The most important similarity is Eric and Dick both wanted to kill for no reason and hurt others that have done no actual harm to them. Dick and Eric both thought it was fun and exciting. Dick wanted revenge on this rich man because he treats everyone below him like they are nothing but in reality the Clutters helped people.

Rick has two children, Carl and Judith, who he puts as his number one priority, and kills anyone who poses a threat to them. He is mourning the death of his wife, Lori, who died during childbirth. He assumes the duty of two parents and cares for his son and newborn daughter. Similarly, the Governor has a zombie daughter, Penny, who he keeps locked-up because he cannot come to terms with her death. He too is mourning the death of his wife who died in a car wreck. Both fathers illustrate undeniable passion for their children, and the wellbeing of their security; this may seem like a beneficial thing, but becoming obsessive over circumstances out of control may prove to be

Rick fails to recognize the distinction between androids and humans due to his encounters with them. Rick feels apathetic towards the assassination of androids. While interviewing Rachel, she queries Rick, "You have no difficulty viewing an android as inert… So you can 'retire' it, as they say" (38). Rick believes that the android's lack of empathy morally justifies his job. Societal apathy towards ethnicities allows for atrocities, like slavery, to form. Rick starts questioning the morality of his job as he develops. He finds it difficult to interpret humanity: “Do you think androids have souls?” (125). The author establishes characters like Rachel, Buster and Phil Resch, whose humanity undergo constant questioning and confusion by Rick to

Rick is also the greater hero because Rick fights for his people. Rick is not a selfish person, he will do anything to help anybody or anything that it takes. Rick took Evy and John, Evy’s brother, to Hamunaptra. For example when they we under the ground looking for the treasure and the book Amun-Ra Evy accidently let one of the mummies loose and the mummy was trying to kill everybody. Nobody had control of the mummy, it could not be killed no matter how hard they tried. Rick was doing all he could to save Evy and Evy’s brother. Rick is not selfish and he does whatever he could so they could all survive and so they could all stay together. Rick is putting his life in danger and that is what heroes are supposed to do and they try to save each other and do things for each other. They try to stick together and be a team. In The Odyssey when Odysseus and his crew where traveling in their boat in the ocean they were exiting the tunnel there was a big whole of water and they ship was going to crash right into it .All of Odysseus member saw their life flashed before they eyes

Although, Rick does empathize with the androids and questions whether they deserve to die or not, he does not uphold the moral responsibility to not murder these androids as Schein and Gray insist is required of him because he has the agency to have the choice not

Rick wants to create a perfect society in an imperfect world suffering from cultural decay. Rick has had a few bumps in the road, mainly a battle with the Governor at the end of season three, but has managed to keep order at the jail. All hell breaks loose when a blood trail leads to the burnt bodies of Karen and David (“Infected”), thus starting the decay of Rick’s perfect society and creating horror. Rick, in an attempt to prevent his community from falling apart, sends the murderer away. As a virus begins to spread through the jail, Rick tries to keep control of his community as tempers flare, and the dead begin to turn into walkers.

Coach Gelwix had the team go read and play with kids at the nearby hospital. Rick didn’t enjoy that very much. The movie did a great job of showing what a coach has to do with their team. Coach’s need to give their kids responsibility and that is what this one did. Coach Gelwix ended up training Rick to be a young man.

When the word "hero" is spoken, everyone has different thoughts. Some will think of super powers like flying and saving people from villains; while others have a certain person they know or have heard of that come to mind who have done something to make a difference in the lives of others but who is a hero to you? To answer this question you must first ask yourself what a hero is; what comes to your mind when someone says the word. When I am confronted with these questions I always have the same thoughts; smart, strong will power, and someone who stands up for what they believe is right.

According to Heracutus, “Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.” All this quote is really saying is there is always that one person that leads and guides the rest to victory and this would be the best way to describe my grandfather. My grandfather, Odell Blakely, lived an extraordinary life from 1929 to 2010. I always looked at him like the leader of the pack, he never lead me wrong. He was the strongest and the most courageous man, he truly was the one true solider in my life. I could always count on him to keep me on a straight path. During some of these events such as The Great Depression and The Cold War he was a younger child but he still had struggles and hardships like everyone else.

What is a hero? Are there heroes all around us from day to day? How do we know? What makes someone a hero? Why do we need heroes? A hero is a person that society considers to have completed tasks worth of praise and awe. It is someone who we can look up to and count on no matter what. Everyone can be heroic at times, but there are some more than others that stand out from the crowd. What is it about heroes that causes us to marvel? As a society, we admire heroes for their courage and sacrifices; their willingness to sacrifice it all but are aware that they may get nothing in return. Without trying, heroes lead by example and are the forces that drive us forward. These few are tested every day and make sacrifices for the ones they love (Askin). Female Filipina domestic workers are heroic because they challenge Filipino cultural norms, provide for their families in the absence of male providers, and sacrifice greatly in their duties.
