Why Heroes Became Heroes Flaws And All

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom. I’m writing this essay to talk to you about what heroes do. Because I believe that our heroes are important and that they deserve the recognition that they do deserve. Some of our heroes are the army, firefighters, police officers, ambulance, and much more. I’m going to list 3 reasons why heroes are important. The following points are: Heroes risk their lives, they don’t care about the fame, and they never give up. One of the reasons why heroes are so important is that they risk their lives for us. Heros do this because they care about the people that need help. They do it because they care about us. Some heroes try to help us get through things like drugs and

As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing

My grandmother, Bettye Morris, truly resembles a hero because she never gave up. Two summers ago, she was diagnosed with cancer and had to endure many treatments. Sadly, she lost the battle, but that does not mean she did not put up a fight. She went through countless treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. Even when she was tired and did not feel like going on, she fought back and proved doctors wrong many times. She lived longer than anybody thought she would. She will forever live on as a legacy in my family because of how determined she was and how she never gave up.

My Michigan hero is not just a hero but is my grandma, she was always there for me through my ups and downs. Every day after school are used to go to her house, she would have Mack and cheese waiting for me on a little SpongeBob plate in front of the TV with SpongeBob on the TV. She was like my other half whenever I needed her the most she was there. She used to go shopping with me and my mom all the time and take us out for lunch. I alway imagined her being there with me all my life but that all changed. Just a couple years ago she had passed away and that was the hardest day of my life. I remember not wanting to go to her funeral because I couldn't stand seeing all the memories and pictures of us together. When I first walked into the room I just

One of the main reasons my mum Shawn Meyer is a hero is because she fought in Iraq. She got shipped out there away to Iraq when I was only five years old. She left for eighteen months because of the war, although she was in the navy she was on land and part of intelligence. The navy often used her as a spy because she used to be very tan. My mum only got three visits to come back to America for a week at a time. She was also able to survive a poisonous spider bite overseas.

My hero displays the exact qualities a super hero would. Although my grandma didn’t have superpowers, save the world, or wear a cape she was a life saver a role model and very protective women. My grandma, Jovita Ayala was a warm hearted woman. She would think of others before herself. If she had a broken arm and you had a small cut shed still go to you and see if you were okay before she even thought about taking care of herself.

There are many things that make my grandfather Thomas Dake a hero. He stepped into multiple family members shoes, caring enough to give them a house to live in during desperate times. He persisted while his daughter developing cancer, and helped her through it. Both of these happened after being drafted into the Vietnam War, which was only the start of his struggle. By going through and doing these things, Thomas Dake has shown various times that he is a

Heros are so much more complex than they are simple. Heros big or small, real or fictional. Heros can range from someone like Superman to someone like Beowulf or from someone like my mom. This is one reason out of the many of why heroes are so complex. You don't have to slay monsters to be a hero. Your average fictional hero doesn't sound like that does it. Fictional heroes save damsels in distress, hunt for treasure and save the day. But if all the heroes in the world were exactly the same, would they really be heroes? Now a lot of heroes are like but none are the same. They all have different motivations, different goals such as wanting you to have some feeling of comfort after a breakup, killing a monster with their bare hands, telling you that everything will get better after your boyfriend dies, or even defeating a dragon.

Veterans are considered heroes because, they have fought and saved our lives. They have made the greatest impact on our country and that defines what a hero is to me. Without veterans we probably wouldn't have all the freedoms that we have today. They give us the freedom to wake up every morning and actually have a choice on what we can and can’t do. Like for instance, go to school or choose what church we can go to. For that I am honored to have people that actually wanna fight for our nation, wants freedom and willing to protect the million of lives. Veterans are brave as well, they wake have go into battles and missions to make us safe. They are an important piece to our lives and with them they make the our nation a safe and

Heroes come in many forms. Some of those forms ware capes and some like to scare little children and ware tights, but some are like Malala Yousafzai who is still fighting for girl’s right to education around the world. Or like Susan B. Anthony who fought for woman’s right to vote.

A hero can be at the burning house physically helping put out the fire, down the street putting their life on the line to catch the convict, or in the closest church spreading the word of their religion and how it has affect their life. Everywhere you go you can always find a hero nearby. The one that is like family to me that I consider a hero is my elementary teacher. She is there for anyone at any time. Starting at a young age, she was not always the best or brightest person around. She has told stories of the things that she has done and the trouble that she and her friends use to cause. In her late teens she decided this would not be the type of person that she wanted to be and decided to change the way that she was behaving. She started going to church and found programs that helped her change her way. After a while she started to reach out to her old friends and eventually got a few of them to change with her. After a while of this she decided she needed to help more people and more families and not just the friends and family that she knows best. She started to go to college and became a teacher that way every year she could help out at least another twenty kids and their families. For the past 48 years she has continuously helped out these families year after year. She has also reached out even farther and has helped children out by being a foster parent. Almost every year she would be given a child or two and has had to raise the kid for the year until someone was able to properly give them a home. Many of these children had mental problems from being switched in and out of homes and once she got them she was able to fully understand them and help them out tremendously, then after a couple months they were able to find a permanent home where she would send them and then get her next child. Time after time this was done and she has help more than a dozen children get through this and at the

You may think of a hero as a benevolent person with superhuman powers that can stop evil, and save the day. Well in my book a hero is someone who can make the world a better place. Someone who is brave, kind, and noble. Someone like my grandma Ona. She's always been there for me whether it's something simple like showing me how to drive her tractor or feed the ravenous, noisy chickens, to something important like always saying please and thank you, and working hard to do great things, but always staying humble. She's an excellent joker with the funniest stories and always knows what to say or do to make the situation humorous and memorable. A life without her would be like never being able to use the internet. You'd probably go insane. Right? Well that's how I'd feel without my grandma. I'd probably go crazy without her. That's why I'm choosing her to be my Michigan hero.

The idea of a hero can be seen through observations and personal experiences. The typical stereotype of a hero, is a person that has dashing looks, and goes around with muscles larger than the size of their head. Rather than outward appearances, heroes consist of inward qualities that are hard to find in this century. Being a true hero consists of going down the ‘path less traveled’. A true hero will stick up for what they believe in, and not live a life that is looking for acceptance of others. In our society, majority of the people seek for social acceptance, and that is a deadly habit. When people live for social acceptance, they will be societies slave. Out of the very few heroes, Jesus, was the most perfect

Heroes are everywhere, wether or not we take the time to notice them. They're among us everyday. Firefighters, for example, risk their lives to save others and ensure our safety. Therapists help people with their emotional struggles, when they are incapable of dealing with them on their own. Police officers put their lives on the line to enforce the law and protect the innocent. These are just a few examples of professions that demonstrate great heroism. These individuals are selfless, diligent, and dedicated.My Aunt Debby embodies these characteristics and shows compassion towards everyone she encounters, especially when it comes to family. She is always so supportive with everything we do. When I went to California to visit her with my cousin,

Who is a hero? How does the definition of a hero change over time? The Epic of Gilgamesh is perhaps the “longest and greatest literary composition written in cuneiform Akkadian” (Dalley 39) and told to an audience, while The Odyssey, and Oedipus the King came many centuries later. However, they all have a hero that represents the values of the society at the time. This paper is going to compare and contrast the ideal of the hero from ancient Mesopotamia in Gilgamesh in approximately 2000 BC, The Odyssey, from the close of the 8th century BC focusing on Odysseus’ long journey home to Ithaca, and Oedipus the King written in about 430 BC and telling the story of the King, Oedipus who fulfills a prophecy.
