Heroes are and can be everyday people they do not have to be able to fly, but a person who makes a difference. Heroes can be determined by the challenges they face and their characteristics. Some of these traits are patriotism, determination, and courage. To start off with, one of the attributes a hero has is patriotism. The poem, A Man states, “while fighting for his country he lost an arm”. This man who lost his arm has strong patriotism, because he did not have to choose to fight for his…

When we are little we all have our own definitions of what a hero is in our eyes. Some heroes wore capes or crowns, but a big hero that gets overlooked often are the ones in combat boots. My hero is one of the men who wore combat boots his name is Chris Kyle. Kyle is known to the world for his famous movie “American Sniper”, but to the ones who knew him personally, he wasn’t just a soldier. He was a man who had compassion for the world. Above all Chris Kyle was such a loving and selflessness man…

As time has gone on, there have been countless heroes. Any great warrior wants to leave a legacy that will last long after he’s gone and show future generations what it truly means to be a hero. Two major aspects that contribute to being a good hero are living by the heroic code and understanding the heroic impulse. The heroic code is the way of life that all heroes try to live by. It means that you have to be willing to place duty and honor before anything else and placing yourself in life…

Are There Still Heroes? Heroes seem to be assigned solely to fantasy or fiction anymore. Like Mr. Hassler in the book Hero, or the wide range of comic book heroes you could pick and choose from. Heroes, make a tendency of sliding under the radar to most people, giving rise to the assumption that there are not any. But, in truth, it does not take superpowers, or money to be a hero like people think. Because heroes are everyday people who take action to help other people, like Mr. Hassler, the…

My heros, fictional and real fit this particular quote by Joseph Campbell “ a hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself”. This quote explains my choice of heros Maurice Hirst and Gandalf the Grey/White. Gandalf is a fictional character from the book The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit. Gandalf is a wise elderly wizard, who acts as a mentor to Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. I chose Gandalf because he is a understanding person who is caring , firm, wise and moral.…

The definition of a hero has been debated about for centuries. Some will say that a hero is one that can fly, has super strength, or some other superpower. I say that a hero is someone that makes a significant impact to society and to life in general. A hero is the firefighters that helped bring people out of the twin towers when they were attacked. A hero is the policemen that put their lives on the line every single day to keep our world safe. A hero is the person that has gone through…

In the words of Joseph Campbell, “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself”. Honest words that are difficult to abide by, but an individual will rise above and embrace these wise words; in Tokyo Ghoul it was Hideyoshi. He gives his life to the people of Tokyo and proves himself to be the hero, a true representation of the protagonist. Selfless, brave, loyal, strong, all the heroic characteristics Hide possessed to claim the title as hero, even against…

Although all the odds are again them, a hero is someone who prevails through the adversity and reaches the peak of the mountain through their inner courage. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone harry and his friends show heroism through their journeys and obstacles. When the average person thinks of a hero they usually think of a superhero that goes out and fight crimes like Batman, Superman, and Spiderman, but not all hero’s wear capes. There are multiple types of hero’s in hero myths such as…

Everyone has a different hero and different views on what makes someone a hero. Some people view heroes as characters in movies or comic books that fly and wear capes, but not me. Being 6'11 with fiery red hair and only half a left, Kevin Laue is my hero. I had the opportunity to meet Kevin last Saturday at a student council convention at Vandebilt. His story touched my heart and made me realize how much I take for granted every day. He first told us about his arm, or lack thereof. He…

From Slaying to Saving Google defines a hero as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. For the most part, society agrees with this definition; yet, heroism goes deeper than that. Heros have been working for the good and against the evil to help citizens for as far as records go back. They are selfless, admirable, relentless, clever, honorable, powerful, faithful, wise, and responsible beings who have something extra or one might even say,…
