The My Hero Project

My favorite part of the day at Sinking Springs was when the walls between the classrooms opened. When the walls were open, two classes became one class. Although the sense of family was present in an individual class, opening up the wall created a greater sense of unity. Without thinking, we mixed between the two classrooms. It became worrisome when the wall wasn’t open. Mrs. Thomas and Miss Tresselt treated our classes like one. Although Mrs. Thomas was in fact my science teacher, she knew me…

As the story unfolds, Billy’s father re-evaluates his disapproval and ends up being Billy’s ultimate hero by supporting him to continue his passion for ballet.…

This marginal voice necessitates a consciousness that seeks to dismantle the elitist discourse and its systematic colonisation of the Other. In my dissertation, I propose to go beyond the theoretical paradigm of postcolonialism, and dissect the exclusionary singularity of Hinduism and its strategy of building a homogeneous…

service. He grabbed his army issue rifle and without concern for his own safety ran to the scene of the slaughter. He chased the terrorist up to the roof where he shot him dead.

on the Luiltan Street. It was nearly 12 am on a Friday night. The street of Luiltan was quite dark yet peaceful and secure. Earlier in that morning, my team and I just elaborated a business project with a Japanese motor company that will enhance the life of Luiltan 's citizen. The odds weren 't against us this time. A decision to accept the project was the best thing we have ever done. I could only imagine how the change was coming for the better in our beloved and presumptuous city. I left the…

A hero is a person who is recognized for their words or actions. They are the people who create moments in history where the world is fundamentally changed from the way it was before they stepped up to make a difference. Heroes live on even after they die and leave a legacy for others to follow. Some heroes aren’t even discovered until after their death because often society is not ready to see the power of what they have done! Jesse Owens was born into a poverty-stricken family on September…

Marjane’s goal is to be recognized as a strong woman of her beliefs, and she views her Uncle Anoosh as a role model. For instance, Marjane proclaims, “And I had a hero in my family…naturally I loved him immediately” (Satrapi 54). As shown, Marjane is very proud to have a hero in her family, and she expects to become a significant figure within the future as well. Within her eyes, it would be devastating as well as discouraging to carry the family name in an uncivilized…

the scenes. There was a diversity of tones, moods, and subjects that kept the film interesting. It included expressive characters and an advancing plot in both romance and drama. The storyline had a classic combination of a dramatic villain versus hero plot and a love story that keeps the viewer sitting on the edge of their chair. The love story aspect of the film is relatable to the audience and reflects their own expectations of life enabling us to visualize our-selves in the story. Although…

The Story of My Life When I think of myself as a person, I think of all the individual puzzle pieces that make me whole. Behind every single person there are reasons for who they are and why they are that way. I’d like to believe I’ve been built by several components, but there are a few that really stand out to me. Those prominent constituents include my family, my educational goals and dreams, and lastly my interest and hobbies. Without each distinct fragment supporting one another I couldn’t…
