Britta yawned steadily as she, Gall and Vig crested the last rise of the Wolf’s Bane. She felt a surge of emotions as the path they followed spilled down the slopes of the mountains onto the plains of Cazidor. Before them lay her homeland, childhood home, and yet, no longer a safe haven. Now merely a stop on some quest that she neither asked for nor wanted. That they would not pass through Wolfbern was a blessing, in some respects. She would not have to deal with her father, who gave her, like a…

A true hero is one who finds the courage, willpower, and passion to help others in their character. Once these three characteristics are met, any individual will have the strength in them to endure even the toughest challenges life can throw at them. Welles Crowther certainly had all three aspects of character. As reported by witnesses of Crowther’s actions, and as stated in “Saved on 9/11, by the Man in the Red Bandanna,” “He used it to put out some blazes and assigned a woman, Ling Young, to…

Courage. The dictionary defines it as, “the ability to do something that frightens one.” In today's society courage can be perceived in different ways. Being brave “ trying something new.” “is about doing something that is outside of your comfort zone.” There are many different ways to perceive courage as a whole. Courage isn't always just being able to stand up for yourself and fight. It's about so much more and Tolkien shows that in this novel using one of his most crucial author’s craft moves…

Oratory Rough Draft “Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with.”- Brodi Ashton. Spider man was bitten by a mutant spider that gave him superhuman abilities, but being a hero doesn’t require astonishing powers. Real life heroes find something they are passionate about and pursue it. To accomplish your goal and be a hero requires courage, compassion and selflessness. One trait that is critical to a hero’s character is courage. Everyday people exemplify…

As athletes, I think we all HATE going to practices. They’re exhausting, boring, and we almost feel like we don’t really need to be there; but trust me, we do. I have been cheering since I was 5 years old and now that I have seen where it has got me today, I will never take another practice, competition, or game for granite.We have to work for everything in our lifetime and if we think it’s just going to be handed to us, we’re wrong. Every second we are able to be on that blue mat is worth it.…

Based upon an individual’s perspective, he or she will either be accepting or unaccepting of change. J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye addresses loss as a change that should never be accepted due to the pain it entails. This is evident through…

Courage is defined in fables as being brave and heroic, but the term is not constrained to these two points. Courage means different things to different people. It may be an obstacle for someone to wake up in the morning, and to bypass that hurdle is courageous. Courage found in fables, folktales and fairy tales is defined by three points. These points are selflessness, staying positive in the face of adversity and facing fears. The first definition of selflessness means that one focuses on…

Our industries, lifestyles and cultures feed us examples on how we should change and encourage us to follow suit. They paint us a picture that captures change as lively and exciting. Life is not a straight path, in fact it’s not a single path at all; it’s a series of different paths and trails leading to different adventures by branching off into a million different directions. We can easily be swept up from one trail and moved to the other or even stuck in between two roads. In terms…
