    After reading the essay “Heroism: Why Heroes are Important” by Scott LaBarge once, I went back again and read it a second time. The second time I read it, I looked specifically for the use of rhetorical appeals, and I then began to write my essay. The first thing I did was use my analysis of LaBarge's use of rhetorical appeals to create my thesis statement: “LaBarge effectively uses the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and kairos to convince his audience that heroes are important.” I then looked for specific examples of each appeal I said he used in order to develop support for my thesis.…

    In a traditionally constructed videogame story, the player receives some exposition of a conflict and then takes control of a likeable and well-understood character they will be able to identify with. Dialogue, non-interactive sequences (referred to in the gaming industry as “cutscenes”), and character development drive the story, allowing the actual gameplay to be isolated to make it easier for developers to create a game that is not only compelling story-wise, but also fun to play. Details, exposition, and likeable characters draw players in so they feel investment in the fictional world of the game, allowing the player to forget their own world. Tension and suspense derived from the player’s investment in the game world then lead to a climactic…

    When my mom was 15 years old she was married to my 19 year old father. They got pregnant about a year later at the age of 16. This may seem irrelevant because she was just a typical girl living her life, but her life would be changed forever. Rachel Bragg was six months pregnant when she was in the fatal car accident, resulting in utter turmoil. My dad, mom, and aunt were driving in bumpy hills when they were speeding.…

    The events in many stories follow a specific pattern in order to make the storyline interesting and relatable. Joseph Campbell calls this occurrence the monomyth or in other words, The Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey is separated into three parts: The Departure, Initiation, and The Return. Each of these sections consist of smaller events that mostly all happen within stories that obey the rules of the monomyth. One of the multiple movies that exemplifies this is Mulan.…

    Have you ever wondered what a Hero’s Journey was? The hero’s journey is a pattern of narrative by the American scholar Joseph Campbell that appears in drama, storytelling, myth, religious ritual, and psychological development. It describes the typical adventure of the hero figure, the person who goes out and achieves great deeds on behalf of a group or generation.

    The autumn breeze was cool against his skin as Steve walked through the numerous gravestones at Arlington. The grave stones were a light grey that looked less grim in the bright sunshine than they would have had it been a grey and dreary day. That was good though, because Steve had been aiming for a day that was bright and as cloudless as possible. The day didn’t have to be gloomy just because he was here to visit the graves of several of his old friends. Old friends that had passed on and left him behind while he lay frozen.…

    Looking back at the dock, the security of solid land gets smaller and smaller. I think of how my crew and I had to lug our gear- diving suits, flippers, goggles, BSD vests, regulators, bulky air tanks and all- onto the boat. I turn my eyes to the blue abyss ahead of me, but it is not the soft light blue-green that we find at the shallow end but the deeper, more somber blue that represents the enigma of the ocean and the journey that lies ahead of me. Then the boat stops moving and it's time to get ready for our first dive.…

    Once all of the zombies are dead, everything was quiet and stillness. Like the world was frozen over by ice, and nothing could move or speak at all. But, after a couple minutes. Jackal broke the silence and you come back into the world, from the darkest space in your thought. You begin to absorb the corpses of the islanders and the dark, red blood flowing away; into the wild berry bush, feeding it blood instead of water.…

    He slowly approached the road that seemed to stretch forever to the north and bent east after about a mile on the southern bound lane. He looked up at the power lines and followed them as far back as his eyes permitted. Squinting through the slight fog he could see the faint outline of the highland that he had been upon. He looked back at the sun-bleached, rotting road and sighed. Although he lived disconnected from society, he felt as if he connected to something else.…
