Ww1 Heroism

In the eyes of today’s society, heroes are viewed as citizens who have accomplished what seems to be the impossible. Whether imaginary or not, heroes are looked at with awe and congratulated for what they have done for the society. However, there is a much simpler way to be a hero. A hero does not have to be able to climb walls, fly over the city, or even save someone from a burning building right before it crumbles down. A hero is simply someone who goes out of the way to give help to those around them that need it. This hero does not need recognition in what he or she does, but takes pride in what they have accomplished for others. In the novel Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis, Bardia, the King’s lead guard, acts as the hero for Orual

Louis was bullied, it caused him to do many terrible acts. Louis stole beer, was chased by police, and known for getting into fights. His brother encouraged him to join the track team to keep Louis out of trouble. Louis became such a successful track athlete that he made the 1936 U.S. Olympic Team. From being a track star it brought upon strength to Louis. He became so powerful and calm while lost at sea and at the Japanese POW camp. This expierence taught him how life is so meaningful and what made him who he was.

Heroes have achieved many feats that support the belief of a greater good and expressing valor and selflessness through the ages. There are fictional or real life accounts that have recognized these men and women for their vigor and marked them as heroes due to their events of success and motives of committing the heroic deeds. Yet there are copious amounts of people who have sacrifice themselves for a greater good but they have been lost through time even if their actions were prosperous or doomed in the end with a valiant purpose. They are unsung heroes who committed the actions based on their inner fire of what is right or honorable or rather than the fame they hope to achieve from those acts. The world or a populous may not know of their actions, but the actions and beliefs of an individual or group can entitle them of being hero-like without the necessity of recognition and success. They have lost their lives or a part of themselves to a cause based on righteousness rather than self-gain. They presented selfless heroism rather than the the intention to receive praise from the victories. Sacrifice contributes more to Heroism because the individual invested his or her own determination, valor and accepting the opportunity to risk their self-health (physical or psychological) based on great intentions rather than reaping the accolades of committing good deeds.

In the First World War soldiers on the western front went through an enormous range of experiences from extreme boredom to appalling stress. The majority of soldiers fighting saw horrific things on a daily basis which none of us would like to, this triggered mental illness in the men. Also several other factors caused this like the awful conditions of the trenches and the way people were treated, it would have been very upsetting and disturbing.

Heroes have been around for centuries. From Joan of Arc who help win France's 100 year war to Oskar Schindler, who saved over 1000 Jews from the Holocaust and countless

For my book report, I read the book War Heroes Voices from Iraq by Allan Zullo. The author interviewed ten soldiers about the time they spent in Iraq. The book tells ten different real life stories of soldiers and what amazing things they did in Iraq. The one thing all of these soldiers have in common is that they thought they were just doing their jobs. These soldiers are true heroes because each of them risked their own lives to save others and to protect our country. Even though a lot of soldiers would do that, not all survive to tell about it.

The carnage of world war one was the result of the clash between new technologies, but old strategies. Blitzkrieg warfare would be the first form of modern military tactics for it fully utilizes the technological advancements of that time. The term “Blitzkrieg” was not invented by the Germans, but by an English magazine that described the invasion of Poland (Showalter). While many accredit the invention of Blitzkrieg warfare to Heinz Guderian, Germany's Chief of Mobile Troops during WWII, it was actually invented far before that. In fact, it was developed right after WWI after seeing the devastating effects of trench warfare(Showalter). Ironically, the basis of Blitzkrieg warfare was also laid by German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen of the famous Schlieffen plan of WWI(Showalter). The basic essence of Blitzkrieg warfare was built upon the belief that Germany was always going to be out resourced and out numbered in every war and thus in order to win it, the Germans must strike hard and fast and penetrate deep behind enemy lines(Showalter). Thus, Blitzkrieg warfare was the most effective military tactic of its time because it utilized all of the technology of its time, it not only utilized physical warfare, but also psychological warfare, and because Germany’s opponents were not prepared for this kind of warfare.

When you hear the word ‘hero,’ you probably envision someone wearing a uniform, serving the country and preparing for war. We place veterans and soldiers in the spotlight at the mention of it. The population never did this in the past. Americans saw veterans as regular people just like us. They were: tall and short, smart and dumb, and capable of bad and good decisions. However, now we treat them as if they were gods. We do this because we saw veterans as our protectors against the dangers our country faces. Yet, we still felt like this in the past, but we didn’t honor veterans like in today’s society; maybe it’s because less soldier were returning in body bags.

The war veterans are first met in a chapter Cormier adds where Francis visits a club in french town. They could be considered heroes because many of them have made sacrifices for being in the war. For example one character named “Big Boy” has his feet spoiled, another, Joey Leblanc, died on a beach in iwo jima. We know this because of the quote “Knowing that poor Joey LeBlanc, who died on a beach on Iwo Jima.” Which brings light to the fact that they may be heros.

“An Army’s bravest men are its cowards. The death which they would not meet at the hands of the enemy they will meet at the hands of their officers, with never a flinching.” (Ambrose Bierce 1) The author, Ambrose Bierce, was a first Lieutenant in the Union Army from 1861-1865 and wrote a short story called “The Mockingbird”, to reflect upon his life on the battlefield. He served his country on numerous battlefields, including Shiloh, the one he mentions in great detail within his story. It was clear early on that Bierce was driven to succeed. In his life, he dealt with many tragedies but he also proved he would never be deterred. To him, sustaining success was just as important as achieving success—perhaps more so—and it didn’t happen overnight. He continued to advance in life despite obstacles, and just like the character in the book, they both endured the same challenges. “The Mockingbird” reflects upon a main character named Private William Graylock, who aspires to be a brave war hero; however, he battles his own unethical character flaws by fabricating his own stories and his battles with his own psychological issues.

When someone says protagonist, what does one usually think of? Generally, the words ‘good guy’ and ‘hero’ come to mind first, but are those words used correctly? Is the protagonist really a hero? In George Orwell’s 1984 and Philip k. Dick’s Minority Report, two different protagonists who commit ‘hero-like’ acts are shown. These acts on outside seem like they are benefiting the greater good, when in reality they help almost no one. The side effects of their actions are avoided to make the protagonists seem more worthy and stronger in the readers eyes, but it does nutmeat that they do not still exist. At a glance, 1984 is a dystopian about a man named Winston, the protagonist, who lives in a country called Oceania. It follows him through his

I have chosen to analyze the essay, “Heroism: Why Heroes are Important”. The article was written by a Professor of Philosophy, Scott LaBarge. He felt very strongly that a person having a hero is very important. He goes in depth about his personal hero Thoreau, and he claims that he wouldn’t know where he’d be without him (1). He talks about how deep this connection from his hero is through being convinced “that living deliberately meant becoming a philosopher” (1).

In their interviews they described their experiences in the war. Many called them heroes for what they did but they didn't see themselves as that. I think these people were brave and accomplished things we never imagined. I think it also might have been hard for them to try to remember what they had done because they were in a war. I think these men were able to do the things that they did because they were trained well and they were willing to risk their lives the save everyone else's. I think the war taught them how hard you really have to fight some people in order to live and to help save others.
