Ethos: A Character Analysis

When given the task of creating both a whole new superhero and comic script, I was shocked by the amount of control and creativity I would have throughout the process. Creating my own personal hero is what excited me most as a writer, although I realized how hard it is to truly be original in the world of comics. Since Superman’s grand debut in 1938 it would seem as though every superpower has been thought of. The “roadblock” of creating an original hero pushed my creativity and lead to my development of my character “Ethos”. In creating Ethos I was influenced by both my academic life and personal interests. Because the defining power of my hero is knowing the answer to any question or moral dilemma I, the writer, have to be able to confidently …show more content…
My reasoning behind his conquest is all the hate I see present in the world. We live in a world with no sure answers and too many conflicting opinions. My vision was to throw someone who does have all the answer to everything into this chaotic world and have them attempt to sort it out. I reference multiple real life incidents to create the sense of hatred that is present. On page four of my “Ethos” script between panels one and three I reference Charlottesville, Syria, and The Vegas shooting to establish that everything on Earth is not ok.

We are unaware of where the light is shining from.

1. ETHOS (OFF): It is said that no man should be aware of his own fate.

Panel 2: The same light shines at the center of the page although it has grown more distant and a whole picture of the universe is becoming to come together. We can now see stars, galaxies, and an abundance of different colored lights.

2. ETHOS (OFF): I carry this burden.

Panel 3: With the light at the center of the panel we almost see the whole universe, it looks like its ready to break out of the borders of the panel. A reference for how I imagine the universe looking can be seen at the following link http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2017/07/12/cosmos-972e04fad07900a5693d894442484ad44faa8327-s900-c85.jpg

3. ETHOS (OFF): In truth it is no burden…

Panel 4: We see the whole universe. It is a beautiful spectacle of lights that capture the greatness of space.

4. ETHOS (OFF): It is the sole source of my power.

    Elijah H. Burritt's The Geography Of The Heavens

    Eighteenth and 19th century technologies transformed the way in which the night sky was observed and led to the discovery of celestial wonders, from stars, galaxies, meteors, moons, planets, comets to nebula. The result was, in part, the creation of celestial maps that showed an exponential number of stars in the heavens, adding to the awe of a sphere that is millions of miles away and beautiful beyond compare. Star atlases became a way of conveying information about the heavens, and Elijah H. Burritt's, "The Geography of the Heavens, 1856 (Cover-title: Atlas designed to illustrate Burritt's Geography of the Heavens), edited by Hiram Mattison and first published in 1833, is a 6-chart atlas that illustrates the mapping of the stars and features the constellations prominently and in great detail. There were several editions after and thousands of copies in print sold over a generation to meet the demand for this popular book.…

The mind receives a myriad [of] impressions – trivial, evanescent, or engraved with the sharpness of steel. From all sides they come, an incessant show of innumerable atoms; and as they fall, as they shape themselves into the life of Monday or Tuesday... [but] life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.’…

    He suggests that by having such heroes can “really expand on our sense of possibility” (3). I imagine that by him telling us it’s as simple as us telling the stories of the true heroes of our time, it would elicit an urgent response from the reader to want to take action right away. Hearing about such a major problem, when there is such a simple start of a solution should encourage anyone who reads his article to “just tell the stories”…

    Andromeda Galaxy

    On a clear and dark night from a position with low levels of pollution, the Andromeda Galaxy can be easily observed in the sky by the unaided eye, even though it is about 2.5 million light-years away from Earth. The unaided eye, however, can only perceive the galaxy as a whole and is unable to distinguish features within the galaxy. Luckily, microscopes combined with the intellect of many bright astronomers over the years have allowed us to better understand what the human eye cannot see, in particular what lies beyond the Milky Way Galaxy in our neighboring galaxy. This paper will focus on some of the recent discoveries and observations on the Andromeda Galaxy that have been key in helping our planet comprehend what lies beyond us.…

    Divine Thirteen: The Sacred Aztec Number

    Divine Thirteen: The Sacred Aztec Number Throughout the world, the number thirteen is fraught with varying degrees of superstition. In most cultures today, the number is seen as an ill omen meant to be avoided. Rarely will the number ever be considered lucky or have a positive connotation. In the time of the Aztec Empire in the Valley of Mexico (1318 C.E. – 1524 C.E), however, thirteen was a sacred number that reflected the beliefs of the Aztec people; not only was it symbolic for the empire’s celestial heavens, but it also played a key role in the Aztec ritual calendar and throughout the empire’s history.…
