Chris Biaso: My Hero

Improved Essays
Do you ever feel like you want to be like your boyfriend’s mother? Chris has been through many obstacles in her life but she made sure it never affected her marriage or her kids lives. Chris has taught me how to be positive, and has showed me how to be strong. My hero is Chris Biaso because she is a great mother and grandmother, she has a strong marriage and takes it seriously, and she is a strong, positive, kind hearted woman.
I am constantly hearing mothers question themselves, asking if they are a great mom or if the environment surrounding your children is what’s best for them and yourself. Chris Biaso is the definition of a great mother not only in my eyes but through the eyes of her children Christy, Melanie, and Tommy. Chris has spent half of her life sacrificing what was best for her “babies.” She is a shoulder to cry on or always has open ears, she

Chris has showed so much love and comfort for each individual grandchild. I have never seen someone’s eyes have so much light in them as I do when I see the way Chris’s eyes light up at the moment her grandkids come running through the door or even when she tears up when she knows she will not be able to see them one weekend. The greatest thing a grandmother can do for their grandchildren is show so much love and that is exactly what she (Chris) has done.
Who knew you could meet the love of your life at a rock concert? In 1988 Chris met the man who was going to change her life for the better at a Van Halen concert. After two short months they knew that it was destiny and they have been married ever since. I admire their relationship simply because it is something you would see in a fairytale. Chris made a vow to stand by Mike’s side “ to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us

    After the publication of “Into the Wild,” by Jon Krakauer, a book about a young man named Christopher McCandless, a great mass of people came forward and criticized McCandless (include more) Included in this group is Peter Christian, an Alaska Park Ranger that believed Chris as an “stupid, tragic, and inconsiderate,” man that essentially had a death wish. However, what may be interpreted as a foolish act by some was actually McCandless’ way of pursuing his dreams. In fact, McCandless shares the similarities of a hero because he was brave enough to leave everything and follow through with his dreams. A significant point made in the article by Christian is that McCandless was acting suicidal because he did not research do enough about the…

    The definition of a good parent may vary from person to person, due to past history and experiences. A person’s history could also affect a person’s parenting style. For example, if someone was raised in a home without love and security, as a parent, they may also raise their children in an environment lacking those things because that is how they grew up and they may be ignorant as to how to better raise their children. There are many significant characteristics that most people would use to describe a good parent, such as, the ability to protect and stay strong for both, themselves and their child or children, in tough situations, the ability to always be looking out for the well-being of the child and loving them unconditionally in spite…

    The big question everyone has argued for so long is "What precisely was Chris McCandless?", from the book “Into the wild”. Many argue Chris was a "nutcase" or a "sociopath", wile others call him "a hero" or “a true transcendentalist", in his travels. I, however, say Chris was a lost, ignorant young man who was just looking for more in life and wanted to find it out for himself by going on his own Odyssey. Chris McCandless shows much of his ignorance in multiple incidences of his travels by contradicting his own actions. In one instance, McCandless burns all his money to prove he doesn't need it and that people can live without it.…

    Much has been said and written about parenting, as a whole is a complex role as it involves many personalities throughout different stages of a child’s life. For young parents, ways of parenting are much different than that of older parents. There’s also differences in parenting based on the number of children one may have.

    Jessica Risner Heather Ward English 1101-41 October 5, 2015 “Love You Forever” Literary Analysis One of my favorite stories to read to my daughter is “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. The story is about a mother who sneaks into her son’s room, once he is sleeping, and sings a song to him. She sings to him these words “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be (pg. 14).” My favorite part about this story is that once her son is a teenager, and even a grown adult, she still sneaks into his room and sings her song to him.…

    Chris Mintz An Epic Hero

    My most recent project came out of tragedy: the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon. My students had just finished a comprehensive study of the Trojan War and Homer's The Iliad and were preparing to write a critique in which they would prove that a character was a true epic hero using epic hero criteria as a basis. When I read about Chris Mintz (the Army veteran who acted heroically to save others and was shot seven times), I contacted him on Facebook and asked if I could have my students write about him. I had already been conducting research to try to incorporate modern day heroes (firemen, policemen, EMTs, etc.), but Chris Mintz’s story is exceptional.…

    “The trip was to be an odyssey in the fullest sense of the world, an epic journey that would change everything.” (Krakauer 22) Chris McCandless, not liking the lifestyle he was raised in, left home as soon as college was over. He made a few friends before wandering into the wild alone. To some people he was a hero, but to others he was a coward. Although Chris McCandless finds many jobs along the way, he is still a fool because he turns down offers from other people, burns all of his money, and is not prepared to live in Alaska.…

    In the movie Babies (2010), there were some distinct differences in the development of each baby based on its gender. As stated in Santock (2016, p. 169), boys are more likely to engage in rough tumble play as well as risk taking. These characteristics were seen in the Mongolian child, Beyarjargal. Since he was the only male baby, he stood out as the mischievous one compared to the other three female babies. More often than not, he was filmed getting into interesting, also possibly dangerous situations.…

    Emersons' third maxim says, "Nothing is at least sacred, but then integrity of your own mind." In other words, the strength of our thoughts and our beliefs is what is most important to each and every individual. The theme that is projected within this statement is that a person's thoughts, opinions, and beliefs have more value than what they may possess materialistically. This theme is not only said in Emerson's maxims, but also in the play called The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail that contains many characters that project the message and lesson of this theme.…
