Hero vs Hero There are many people in the world that can be portrayed as a hero, but what really is a hero. The dictionary states that a hero is “a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” In the book The Odyssey, Odysseus was portrayed as the hero who saved everyone from the trojan war.

Novalis said,”A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.”Heroes are average people, not just men wearing capes and protecting the innocent. Heroes are people who will persevere. No matter the circumstance a hero will battle on and on to the end because anyone can just back down. Heroes consider others before himself/herself. In some cases, heroes do not always appease everyone, they focus on the most important concern. Heros will persevere and be selfless, even if they cannot…

A hero can be the one who saves a specific spot or place where there are a lot of people in the area during an attack or something. What makes a hero is the bravery and the intelligence of one person for themselves or others. First, It takes a brave hero to do tiring things in a rough situation. For example in passage one it states that, “A self-described…

Music is the international medium that can link both mind and soul. From sophisticated, well drawn out classical music, to drums and rocks in Aboriginal tribes in Africa, music is a natural and seemingly God-given talent we all possess. “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent,” it is supernatural yet so uniquely human simultaneously (Hugo). Music elicits response; one main response it draws out is in-depth analysis. As popular as music is, music…

Drum Corps is my passion, something that I love to do, and it has changed my life. Drum corps is a less known sport/art, that has evolved and grown in the past 44 years. It has affected me differently depending on when it was. My views on some things changed since I was actively there, but I would not want to lose that time for anything. Drum corps is an activity that I feel very strongly about, as well as the group of people that form the community, joining and doing it has been one of the best…

PART FOUR: Creative Process 381_CP_SONG 1: Can’t Stop I started with the guitar and formed a riff based in the key of Em. I transposed this riff onto a sparkly synth sound and could hear a strong bass line that would accompany it. I had three successful ways of approaching the creation of Can’t Stop. Firstly, completing a section and moving to the next before adding production elements. Secondly, having short breaks and returning to listen with fresh ears to recognize sounds that were not…
