The My Hero Project

a time full of racism and hate towards his skin color. How I chose my project was I went to enchanted learning.com and looked through the inventors from 1800-1900 because that was the time frame I was given to do my project over. When looking through their website I saw Elijah McCoy and read what they had about him but kept looking. Within a few minutes I couldn't stop thinking about Elijah McCoy and so I chose him. My project relates to NHD's theme of taking a stand in history because Elijah

A hero, as described by dictionary.com is 1. A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities 2. A person who, in the opinion of others has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. In the essay Paradox and Dream, John Steinbeck states that the American Dream is intertwined with violence.

Noble, kind, selfless; these are all traits that embody the modern hero. This was not always the case, however. In ancient literature, the heroes are not good role models, most of the time. Gilgamesh in The Epic of Gilgamesh is prideful and selfish in his conquests. Achilles in The Iliad drug his enemy’s body around his friend’s funeral pyre for days on end. Heroines in ancient literature are closest to what is considered a hero today, even if their methods are unconventional. Lysistrata in Lysistrata

In 1952 my grandfather, Albert S. Thanhauser, waited in line with the incoming class of Air Force soldiers in upstate New York as they prepared to enter the Korean War. Each quaking private presented their papers to the stone-faced officer at the front of the line, to receive their military assignment. As my grandfather approached with his documentation, something peculiar happened. “Hmm… Thanhauser,” muttered the gruff officer, “M.O.T.?” he asked quietly. A Brooklyn Jew, Al’s eyes lit up as he nodded

A hero is defined as “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities” (Merriam-Webster). It is also is stated that the hero is typically a man. As a woman, I am greatly offended. Joseph Campbell, however, is less sexist and defines a hero as someone who makes a sacrifice in order to complete an action. Martin Luther King Jr. sacrificed his life and his family’s life while he was marching the streets against the discrimination of African Americans. Benefitting from his actions and

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.

This is evident through the quote “That I love her, I feel” in Act 1 scene 1, said by Claudio about Hero, which is later contradicted with the quote “There, Leonato, take her back again. Give not this rotten orange to your friend”, who is referencing Claudio’s betrayal.
