What Makes A Modern Day Hero? What is your favorite hero? Batman, Superman, Wonder Women, these are popular examples of heroism. No one thinks of heroes such as Hercules, Rick Rescorla, or Beowulf. Although, people think of heroes as a fictional figure that saves the day when evil is near, heroes are as real as the sky is blue. Beowulf may be an epic hero now, but at a point in time, Beowulf was a serious hero that saved lives, much like Rick Rescorla. Rescorla saved 2,700 lives with others were…

Confucius once said “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier can illustrate how the characters undergo change when they faced with conflicts.

“We need online alter egos now more than ever” by Judith S. Donath. The title attracted my attention and pushed me to start reading. The writer argues for the use of pseudonyms or fake names in life and online. Some people say that the use of fake names is a form of lying and others say that fake names are used to manage impressions that they make (Donath 513). Although alter egos are seen bad in the society, but they are useful and valuable in many situations. Using pseudonymous names can…
