The True Heros : A Hero As A Hero

The Heroes Journey is a literary trope that has been used across time to tell a story in an outline step, this has been used in myths and the religious book in Christianity called the Bible. I will be comparing a modern literary work from J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings and the story of Jesus and how it relates to the hero’s journey. To begin we must understand what is the hero’s journey, it is a twelve-step outline for a character in the story that he/she goes through. It was first identified by Joseph Campbell, an American writer and mythologist.

Have one ever consider why people receive the title hero? For example, does the person have to acquire superpower, like being able to fly, read minds, like directors perpetuate in movies, or can a hero be just a regular person like the parents that take their time to teach us the important things in life? A hero are “Those who serve others at a cost of themselves, someone willing to make a personal sacrifice for the benefits of others.” which shows that anyone can be a hero, even a little child walking on the street can be a hero. Being able to take a stand for what he or she believes in, when no one else in the crowd would. Like Dr. Martin Luther King who took a stand for his people. He was a normal guy just like everyone else, but he did

They say that every story has a hero, a damsel in distress, a vilain and a world that needs saving.

To have a set of skills and qualities to become hero, bravery is genuinely one of the biggest traits one must have to be a hero. Heroic tales usually contains violence in the story. In most heroic novels, books, and poems that feature a main character with a hero’s complex, the source of their power is derived from their heroism undermines their ability to reason. In the books examined there is always a hero or heroine that is tasked with self-discovery, destroying evil, seeking vengeance on evil, or is burdened with the cliché of saving the world. In these examples there typically violence towards another party regardless of the context of the setting. If there’s a hero in the story, there will usually be a violent situation the hero

I have only been here for three months. As the snow on the ground continues to grow, layer by layer, the hatred I have for my brother, Hans, grows. I am stuck in a numbing mindset with only my older brother to blame. I often think about the day when I saw him jump into the olive green truck back in ‘41. He was a hero, ready to save the day. As a young teenager, I was lost, and he was the beacon that led me to where I stand today. With that, the light from the beacon has now diminished as I look at his smug face. He no longer seems like the hero in the stories mother read at night, but rather the malicious, corrupt villain that haunted my nightmares.

This movie is a prime example of how a hero becomes a hero. The journey is not easy at it may seem. With the tribe and tribulations of the journey is what form that person to be the hero we see today.

As Mahatma Gandhi once said “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” Heroes don’t always have to be “on the big screen” like in movies or shows. Being a hero involves wanting to do good in life and reaching goals. For this is the way true heroes are brought to light. Heroism involves the act of sacrificing for the good of others and being courageous but, it does not always lead to a great success in the end.

The dictionary’s definition of a hero is “a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” Despite their past decisions, I think that Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally are, in fact heros. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Them? The hoods? Well they might not be perfect, but they have all the qualities of a hero. Here’s why.

Heroes come in several shapes and sizes, a tall man in a top hat, a little girl ostracized because of the color of her skin, and a man working to remove the burden of slavery from his people. Heroes are everywhere. A hero is a person who is willing to stand up and fight for what they believe is right, no matter what others think and no matter the consequences. Heroes are brave, determined, and intelligent. Whether it's big names or small people, everyone can be a hero. Determination, bravery, and intelligence are key parts of heroism, and Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Ruby Bridges displayed these traits as well as others.

When someone says the word “hero,” what is the first thing that pops in your mind? You may start to think of Superman and Spiderman or maybe Batman. You think of fiction and stories and movies. The world right now is full of so many terrible things. Things such as natural disasters, terrorist activity and just plain out people that make terrible decisions. When there is so many terrible things on the news and in this world. We as humans need to focus on the goods things that happen. The heros in our life don’t have to be superheros, they could be ordinary people that try to do the best they can. My definition of a hero is someone who has courage, responsibility and selflessness.

Scuffling and rapid movements echoed from an eerie alleyway, the occasional sound of a sword slashing through air seeping out. A clash between two entities had taken place and it seemed as if they were on equal footing in terms of combative skill.

A hero is someone that has courage or ability, which is admired for their brave deeds and their noble qualities. The job of being a hero is not very simple, it involves a lot of complex actions. Imagine yourself sitting at a NBA game, and your favorite team is playing for a championship game. Your team is losing by thirty points entering the fourth quarter. You and every other fan is hanging your heads down and start to tear up. You are wishing that someone will save your team and win the rivalry game. Then one person step up on the court and sparks a fire on the court and put your team ahead by 15 points, by the end of the fourth quarter. After he brings the team ahead, the team wins the rivalry game, and everyone that had their heads down pick their heads up and is cheering with joy. That one person who stepped up and carried the team on his back, the person who got everyone to pick their heads up, the person who cleared all the tears off their faces and satisfied the fans and team needs. That one person is a hero for their community and their fans, because they satisfied the needs of coming back to win the game. In the eyes of people, heroes are very simple; but it's actually complex because of the characteristics that single them out from ordinary humans, like carry others and other problems on their backs, having excellent leadership, cheering up and inspiring youth within the world, and killing monsters with unusual strength and powers.

Ana’s Son. “ Not only that, but she hasn't let it slow her down either; she engages in the many activities that she did before the infection, even if it drains her of her strength. My mother fights for her life everyday. She fights against nature itself not only for herself, but to be there for all of those she loves and who loves her. She is an inspiration to us all she is a real hero”. When hero’s face a battling challenge or a problem, instead of stressing out about how the people that they love or people in need fear for there family or themselves, hero’s make sure that the people in need of there help dont worry but be happy after the hero saved them and that’s what a makes a hero heroic. Although being hero is not always having a happy ending, or Having the fantastic powers that a movie superhero has , it is about how sacrificing yourself to help your loved ones in need.

Everyday Life is a challenge, but when something out of the ordinary occurs, heroes will be the first to stand up and take charge. When in a completely new and dangerous situation, the heroes will be the first to rise and grab a hold of the situation. Heroes are people who demonstrate a high level of leadership while also providing aid to those in need, but not always being able to help everyone.

As the destructive fire climbs up the side of the old, rustic building, she rushes in through the only open window hoping to find the source of the dreadful crying that comes from within. The selfless, brave young girl dodges around clumps of fire praying that she will find the poor baby before the crumbling roof crashes down on top of them. Now that she is inside she has no choice but to keep going, even though she can hear the dated roof cracking with her every move, “crick, crack.” Hence, she is now frantically sprinting throughout the collapsing apartment when she sees the baby in the far corner. She rapidly runs towards him, picks him up, and makes her way back towards their only exit. As she makes a final jump out of the destroyed building, the roof collapses. She instantly gets as far away from the building as she can while giving the terrified baby to its distressed mother. She then runs off into the distance not wanting to be known or publicized for her heroic actions. The function of a hero is selflessness. For example, a true hero would sacrifice part of themself or part of their life to help someone in need. Although, a hero would not, not perform a heroic action because they were frightened or afraid about what would happen to them.
