A Hero of Our Time

we started reading. My mom never told us why she picked Psalms, but I assume it is because Psalms is the book of praise ad blessings. My mom wanted us to speak blessings on ourselves so that we would walk in the correct path to do great things with our lives. Over the course of my life I have developed a passion for reading and learning new things. I also developed a passion for developing content and being creative.…

surgery, because he had 3 holes in his heart. He also had bilateral hernia surgery which is needed when a hernia is developed in both the right and left sides of the groin. My brother, Colton Gilliam is 4 years old with Down Syndrome. Colton is my hero and influences me to stay strong. That little guy overcame 2 surgeries within the first month of life. It was very emotional and hard for me because I had to sit there and to see him like that was hard. I missed a lot of school due to the…

Hero or villain? Friend or foe? Many people have different views on Hamlet, but I personally would consider Hamlet as a hero in this situation. In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the plot goes as Hamlet is instructed to return home for his father’s funeral. Upon his arrival, he discovers that his mother had been remarried to Hamlet’s uncle, his father’s brother. After discovering this, his father, came to him, as a ghost in spirit, and told him that he was actually murdered. Hamlet was…

According to Christopher Reeve a hero “is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles” I believe I have found someone who can live up to these standards, his name is Deshaun watson. He was a star quarterback at clemson universe and got draft this year in the first round, If things go as plan the will be the starting quarterback for the Houston Texas. This team was a good quarterback away from giving the super bowl champions some…

Webster’s dictionary defines hero as “any person admired for courage, nobility, or exploits especially in war...any person admired for qualities or achievements and regarded as wan ideal or model. While Hemingway defines it as a man who lives correctly, following ideals of honor, courage and perseverance through painful and chaotic times. Which could be considered as brave or courageous. In my opinion both of these definitions represent a hero. But I believe they are leaving out some aspects of…

A hero is not someone that saves the world in matter of seconds, or has a non human superpower like the ability to fly or be invisible. A true hero is someone that does something without expecting anything in return, always being kind, genuine and stands for what they believe in no matter the circumstance. Maya Angelou is looked as a hero around not only America but the whole world for being a poet, activist, and going from nothing to something and using that experience to help many people. Maya…

This week got me thinking more about superheroes and how they are who they are. Like every hero's story all start the same and they somehow end similar as well. I think this is pretty weird but cool at the same time because that concept is so versatile. Like how most superhero are created to face a fear that people in reality have like immigration, phobias, and social status. I learned that cultural plays a big part of the superhero storytelling also. The story of a superhero can be impacted by…

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…

everyone is bound to experience a rough time. These rough times and flaws are what test a hero and build character. Experiencing hard times transforms an average person and his mistakes into something remarkable and heroic. What characteristics make him a hero rather than just an ordinary person? A hero is a person who is admired for courageous acts, noble qualities and outstanding achievements. Despite possessing the same qualities as an ordinary hero, a tragic hero, who is born a noble birth…
