A hero. What does a hero actually mean? To me, a hero is someone who does something brave to sacrifice themselves for others. 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…

Her life changes one day when she was out cycling with a friend and accidentally collides with a vehicle. This accident caused trauma to the lower spinal cord rendering her paralyzed below her waist. This causes bountiful changes in her life. Adjusting to these changes is very difficult for her at first. She struggles with accepting what happened. She realizes that she can overcome the challenges…

Besides leaving my home country, it was the second hardest thing that I had to experience. I was seven years old and when my parents announced that we were moving to United States, frankly I was excited to see the USA. However, as time passed I started to miss my family back in Ecuador. When, I was in the airport saying goodbyes to friends and family members. I did not understand that I would not see them in again in five years. However, hearing the news that my abuelito had passed away in 2006.…

The lengthy, cramped, and quiet bus ride to Living Hope Day School both excited and terrified me. A never ending stream of “what if” questions rattling my brain caused me think twice about what I was doing there in the first place. I was a stranger to them, someone whom they knew nothing about. I gazed out the window, trying to calm my thoughts when I saw them. An endless sea of purple sweaters, and cheery faces lined the fence at the school. All of my previous doubts washed away when I stepped…

Since Walpole never wrote another novel, his authorial reputation remains squarely centred on this problem that his handling of supernatural subject matter – such as falling helmet heads and walking portraits – is somewhat crudely handled. Even Clara Reeve and Scott, notable enthusiasts of Walpole’s work, had to confess that ‘clunky, overuse’ of supernatural horror had a diminishing effect (Napier 79), whereby the reader eventually becomes, just like Manfred, ‘almost hardened to preternatural…

In cinematography you learn different ways to angle the camera, the lights just the right way to show you an entire chapter of a book in just a few frames, add a score to listen to the music and sounds and get your audience to feel the movie from their perspective. As a director they may not have the idea but they can show a thousand words in just one picture. That is key thing in videography is it has to capture, what the author writes they show with just one frame, weather it is to show a…

In the last seconds remaining, he swooped and saved the pretty girl from falling off the edge of the tallest building in the world. The masked figure accomplished this goal before rushing towards the destroyed urban city; he continued forward, fully aware, relentless, and unaffected. Though it sounds certainly cliched, this example is perceived as the generic example of a hero. Contrary to public perception, the definition of a hero is not explicitly some handsome or muscular male protagonist; a…

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…
