What Makes a Hero

Heroes can come in all shapes and forms, from all walks of life, anyone can be a hero. However, what exactly does it mean to be a hero? Being a hero means to do the right thing regardless of the outcome. A hero can be anyone we look up to, fictional or real, as long as they do the right thing. An example of this would be Erwin Rommel, a World War Two German general. Since he was a German he was fight for his motherland, not for the ideology of the Nazis. He was just a man defending his country from foreign invaders. War is a time were people have to commit vicious crimes against other people to defend their own people, so killing others is a normal thing. Erwin Rommel had to do what he had to do however, he never obey the orders from his superiors

“I want to be Batman.” That is a typical response from a preschooler if they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. However, heroes are not always wearing capes. They can simply be an Indian man that changed his mindset into something more inspirational. There is one thing that Superman and a policeman have in common. They are both heroes. No matter how different the fields are, they are brave, helpful, and hardworking. A hero can be someone known for courageous achievements. They are normally men, but can be women too. Heroes come in many different ways. Some characteristics of a hero are someone who has enormous courage, strength, and knowledge. They usually have a big effect on people’s life and are pretty well known. A hero is also known for helping people and not doing it out of revenge. They must have a good heart because they are putting themselves at risk for others. The people need to have trust in him because he is putting their life on the line, so they cannot be evil. A true hero isn’t perfect. They have disagreements and bad days, but the motivation to get back up and help day after day is definitely a true hero. Being a hero is tiring, because being a hero is not a one-time thing, so one cannot just do something good for a day and call themself heroes. Being a hero means loving what you do. It means getting up in the morning, ready to help people in any way possible, everyday. Mohandas Gandhi is a hero because he was helpful, had leadership and

What inspires writers to create unique heroic figures in their fantasy stories and action movies? Is it from their own imagination or is from what they see in real life, and an addition of their own imagination? Well it is certainly what they see in real life and their imagination. However, it is reasonable to say those writers have used too much of their imagination, to communicate through a piece of writing or film, of who a true hero is and what a true hero does. The excessive usage of imagination gets to a point where many of us are deceived by those well-developed stories into thinking that people who deserve status as heroes are only brave and save lives, even though there is definitely more to a hero than just that. In fact, true heroes are aware of how they impact others, strives to persevere through challenges, and rarely make decisions that they would later regret.

Torvald her husband begged her to say but she refused. “I see. There’s a gulf that’s opened between us- that’s clear. Oh, but Nora, can’t we bridge it somehow?”(DiYanni, 2008, p.1152). Marriage is all about being comprehensive and helping one another out. Nora did not think about how her husband needed her as the matriarch of their family. Torvald needed Nora to make the family united. Their children were very small and Nora decided to leave the children with Torvald and that he would take better care of them than she would. “You know very well how long that would last. (Throws her shawl about her) Good-bye, Torvald. I won’t look in on the children. I know they are in better hands than mine. The way I am now, I’m no use to them.”(DiYanni, 2008, p.1152). Nora decided to be a coward and take the easy way out of her marriage, liberating herself from the ties that held her down to being a wife and a mother. She relied on other people such as maids to take her place in the family, not realizing that she was more important than being replaced by maids. She relied so much on Torvald that she did not realize that she played an important role in her

Christopher Reeve, a man of many hats once said, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” To me, this is the true definition of a hero, and nobody fits this description better than my mother. To elaborate, I guess I will start at the beginning. My whole life, my dad worked at UPS. Yes, he was indeed a hard worker and wanted to provide us with as much as he could; however, we hardly spent any time with him. My mother stayed at home with my sister and I until we both went to grade school. She then got a job doing what she loved: teaching. She taught kindergarten at a local church program. Everything was perfect in my world. However, as they say, ignorance is bliss. Too young to see what was happening, I couldn’t see that my mother’s was anything but. I later learned that my dad had cheated on my mom many times and he constantly ridiculed her intellectual and physical state. She gave him all she had, but he took it all for granted. When I was around the age of seven, my dad suffered from a hernia and, being the rash thinker that he is, he “retired” from UPS. Or that is what my sister and I were told. In reality, my father was taking part in some detrimental extracurriculars. After failing a surprise drug test at work, he quit. If he would have sucked up his pride, and owned up to his mistakes, his employer was willing to provide the help he needed and continue to employ him. He then could have worked

As we said, there are 3 deciding factors in what it takes to create a hero. #1 is being a role model, being a role model means that people could look up to you, and you could help to direct them on to the right path, whether emotionally or spiritually. #2 is being selfless, which means that you are willing to give up from yourself to other people, whether it means to give up money, time, or even life. #3 is being modest, by not wanting fame or publicity, but rather just doing things for the right morals .

It seems that Nora has had enough of Torvald’s rude and selfish remarks such as telling guests in their home that she can be “terribly stubborn” or insulting Nora’s father saying that he has a “lack of total principle” because he assumes that Nora’s character is based off of the characteristics of her father. Furthermore, he goes farther with his comments saying, “ You will remain here in my house. That is taken for granted. But you will not be allowed to raise the children. I could not trust you with them.” or, “You must rely on me. I will advise you and give you directions. I wouldn’t be a man if this female helplessness didn’t make you twice as attractive to me." I do not think there is another person who has not had enough of Torvald’s criticism towards Nora. He seems to believe that whatever comes out of his mouth is true, and in the end with Nora replying with, ““Everything you do is right, Torvald." without consideration. However, later on in this act Nora finally stands up to Torvald. In realization she says to Torvald, ““The whole reason for my existence was to perform tricks for you, Torvald. But that’s what you wanted...It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life.” She finally recognizes the manipulation Torvald has done throughout her life. Additonally she says, “I have been your doll-wife, just as at home I was Papa’s doll-child; and in this house the children have

Behind all the hours of practice and all the coaches who pushed you, there’s a girl that shot the ball, fell in love with the game and never looked back. The coach I have behind me that pushed me to my fullest potential is my 7th grade basketball coach Larry Kanouse. Now you may be wondering how a basketball coach could be a hero well let me explain.

Many people consider heroes as someone with superhuman abilities, or as someone who wears a cape with tights and saves people from the most berserk situations. But as award winning author Jodi Picoult once said, “Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were possibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.” Heroes are often normal people with normal traits; people you see everyday. But I find that some of these traits do in fact define them as heroes. Heroes are caring, self sacrificing, and brave.

What makes a person a hero? Is it the way he/she acts, talks, or the deeds he/she does? In my belief, a hero is somebody who is dependable, convincing, and solid. A hero is somebody who is a great example with a great character. In the article, “Jose Antonio Vargas Is an American Hero”, Rory O’Connor discusses his own opinion about why he considers Vargas to be a legend. O 'Connor would see that Vargas is an extraordinary champion that everybody looks up to. O’Connor was born in 1951 in New York. Rory O 'Connor is a creator, journalist and filmmaker whose work revolves around media and legislative issues. He graduated from the Boston School as a writer and proceeded with his studies at Rutgers University. He composed a few books such as the Future, Shock Jacks, and Friends. In this article, O 'Connor gives purposes of why Vargas ought to be seen as a legend not a liar. O 'Connor 's most effective reasons to convince the readers that Vargas was an American legend are that he achieved the American dream while being a newcomer and that he was a risk-taker. By way of contrast, Vargas ' being young, hip, and connected fails to prove O’Connor’s main argument.

What is a real hero? Will they still a hero even they did something hurt people? Well, everyone has their own definition of the word hero. Most people definition is the word hero use for everyone for example if a person do a little thing to help someone just for one or a couple time then they are a hero. The word is being used a lot, it makes the word actually lose the meaning. In the article “ Heroic Acts to protect the word hero.” By author Linton Weeks, this author was given us some of the example that people overused the word. In the article Andrew give money to people who are brave. He is not doing a right thing because it make people only would want to do thing to get reward.

In the Christian culture a hero would have to make sacrifices and go on an expedition to acquire his or her own sense of meaning to life. Most of the time the hero must be open-minded to his or her attitude to get to the end his or her voyage. The hero would develop qualities such as humility, love, self-control, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faith, and mildness. Even though it is near to impossible for such humans to obtain all the fruitage of the spirit (qualities mentioned before) it is, however, tolerable for the ideal hero, Jesus “The Child of God”. To understand Jesus’ role of being a hero I would have to review the stages of Jesus mission. Questions (such as Why did Jesus come to Earth? How did he recognize that he is the hero? What deeds has Jesus done? How did Jesus lose his power?) would be answered.
