Lee: A True Hero

Improved Essays
There sitting atop a carriage, Vin was surveying the border, the out vigilant gunslinger. The fastest gun shooter around and baddest of them all. Know to the group of seven for at first being indecisive, he wore a salmon pink shirt, a blue necktie like scarf, and a faded wide brim cowboy hat. His face was exposed: tan and aged by the sun and the things he’s done. Ever since he saw Chris sticking up for the dead’s’ rights, he knew that he needed to help fight the bad guys in Ixcatlan. After debating on if he should join, he made the decision to become a part of the group and joined them in at bar. As they rode towards the town, his head was sweaty and his brow covered with a shine. His hat drooped in the front, getting ready for what was to …show more content…
Lee wouldn’t really be considered a hero due to the fact that his past haunts him, leading everybody to think that he’s done some bad things and that the only reason he joined the team was to help put his past to rest. In the movie he’s shown to be awoken from sleep because of nightmares, and he looked unsettled about that. Leading viewers to believe that he’s done some bad things in his past. Lee joined the group to get away from his past and away from a society that he’s been on the run from. He tells Chris that he has been on the run for a while and thinks it would be nice to not have to be running away for a bit and that’s why he wants to help save the town. Those types of characteristics don’t usually lead one to be thought of as a hero, but Lee can be considered a hero, but not a full one because of his past. He might have a bad past, but it seems like he’s trying hard to turn himself around and get back on track. That means he’s helping save this town more for himself than the people that live in it. He still is doing good for the town, but for more selfish reasons than Vin. By lee waking up in a panic and being on the run shows that he’s not really supposed to be a hero, but by helping save the village from the bad guys he becomes more of a better person, steps closer to being a

    As Wayne E. Lee points out in his book Waging War, modern warfare revolves around insurgencies. Due to the asymmetry of weaponry in these conflicts, insurgencies aim to make warfare as protracted as possible. As seen in the 1966 movie The Battle of Algiers, the insurgencies in Algeria use their limited capacity for conflict to their advantage, and fight the French descriptive instead of head on. The French army failed to deal with the insurgency effectively and thus public opinion in France began to change. Although the French won the Battle of Algiers, they would inevitably lose the Algerian War due to the public's response to the protracted war created by the insurency.…

    In September of 1863 Lee experienced another bout of severe illness. During the Battle of Chickamauga, Lee experienced acute rheumatic pain which he described to be intense debilitating pain in his back. At first the general was not able to ride his horse, but his condition progressed to the point where he could not walk and eventually was completely confined to his tent (Riley 497). Lee's doctors attributed his pains to lumbago, which is simply mild to severe pain confined to the lower back; sciatica, which is pain along the sciatic nerve running from the lower back down each leg caused most often by compression of spinal nerves; or rheumatism, the inflammation and pain in joints associated with arthritis, but did not deliver a definite diagnosis.

    he Remaining series has always been a favorite of mine whenever I ponder back to books that I have really enjoyed. First off, I’ve always like thinking of the scenarios of there being one day a zombie apocalypse and being forced to survive by yourself or even with others as you take on the threat of the infected or even other survivors who are as bad as the zombies are. In The Remaining Allegiance it is based on the fact that teamwork and cooperation is the key to surviving or overcoming a large obstacle, and by large, the book refers to the now danger and threat of many hordes of infected overrunning a refugee base that our protagonist Captain Lee Harden has to figure out how to deal with it. The infected isn't the only problem in this dystopian…

    The novel Junky by William S. Burroughs tells the tale of a man named William Lee and his addiction to "Junk". He goes from a middle-class existence in the Midwest to selling and using drugs in New York City, from morphine to marijuana to cocaine to heroin. The book discusses almost every aspect of a junkie's life, from obtaining their drugs, to using them, to avoiding the police, to "Junk Sickness" also known as withdrawal, to prison time for drug possession, to other actions a heroin junkie will engage in to get drugs, such as thievery, prostitution, sodomy, or pawning heirlooms. Throughout the book Lee "tries" to get rid of his addiction to junk. In the end I do not think he is serious at all about giving up his addiction.…
