“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles” (Christopher Reeve). This quote by Christopher Reeve touches on what a true hero is supposed to be and is. Hero’s are supposed to have traits of selflessness, perseverance, intelligence, bravery, ect. One amazing hero is the son of Zeus and Danaë, young demigod, Perseus of Olympia. Perseus’s intelligence, bravery and selflessness is what ultimately carries him through many…

The great musician, Gerard Way, said “Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.” Ironically the word hero has the connotation of being someone or something that portrays the qualities of being supernatural. An everyday hero is one that is characterized by the actions that he/she commits. The hero will always put themselves forward for the humanitarian good to defend against moral evil. The hero always acts involuntarily, the act of heroism will always be done under…

Heroes can acquire various characteristics. Some people may consider their hero to be superman, a family member, or even a famous writer. To me, a true hero is someone who is fearless, selfless, and forgiving. Someone who possesses all of these qualities is Louis Zamperini, an Olympic athlete and World War II survivor. Throughout his life he faced many challenges, and with those challenges came accomplishments. The amount of dauntlessness he displayed all through his life can not be compiled…

According to the dictionary, a hero is a person, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements or noble qualities. For the most part the dictionary is correct, but what it doesn’t state is what truly makes someone a hero. Many claim they fall under the dictionary’s definition and because of that they claim to actually be a hero. Truthfully there are very few heroes out there. A hero is not someone who claims to have helped someone out. It is someone who takes their words and…

He is a hero because the act he performed was voluntary, he did it specifically…

Rhapsody Final The original song I had wanted to write about was Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses. After further analyses of this piece of music, I realized it would not have enough contrast for me to write multiple pages. After much thought and consideration, the new piece I chose to write about is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody has plenty of dramatic contrasts, frequent shifts in tempo, and changes in rhythmic character from section to section. The piece was written by…

end of the line in the water, and I get a second wind. I've finally reeled the fish in. The first mate reaches into the water and pools up the rig and on it...are three fish! 2 striped bass and a 35 inch blue fish. The first mate says “that's the biggest bluefish i've ever seen anyone catch.” I ask how long are the bass and the first mate says “none of them are over 35”. Even after hearing this news i'm not mad, i feel like i accomplished…

The Problems of Pennies MaKenzi Bowden Snow College English 2010 October 27, 2016 The Problem of Pennies The writers grandparents know that a penny is worth more than one cent even though it only costs one cent.

If you pick up every penny that you find, they eventually will add up sooner or later. Nowadays, there is nothing that…
