Emotional Health Aspects and Their Significance in Heroes Written By Robert Cormier Heroes is a novel written by Robert Cormier. It carries an important emotional message and has an immense impact on the reader. The story is set following the Second World War and the author clearly shows a wide range of health issues and their impacts on emotional health through romance, emotional instability, and violent assault. The author conveys messages regarding the seriousness of the effect of depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and suicide on affected individuals and society in general. To understand the negative emotional effects and conditions a definition of emotional health must be understood.

In the novel ‘Heroes’ it is shown that there is no such thing as a real hero, because everyone has a weakness, Cormier uses Larry LaSalle, Francis Cassavannt and the veterans as a way to convey this message. The protagonist Francis is portrayed as having both heroic and cowardly personality; this forces the reader to consider what makes a real hero. To some people a hero might be someone with great strength or ability. Perhaps someone admired for their great achievements or great qualities. But in this case it is someone who is admired for their great courage and nobility a man in contrast to Francis Cassavant.

Introduction: The novel Voss was written when White returned from War and worked on old records and reached to the actual experience of German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. In one of his letters he spoke of the novel, “When I returned here (Australia) after the war and began to look up old records, my idea seemed to fit the character of Leichhardt. The letter was, besides, merely unusually unpleasant, where Voss s made as well. I always wanted to write the story of a grand passion (1).

With Doerr's outline for the story - three characters, three different viewpoints - we know that their stories will eventually collide, but when they finally do it happens in a quick, unsatisfying way. Doerr's characters lack moral complexity which would make them properly engaging - Marie Laurie spends most of the book in hiding, which is understandable, but which also stops her from being forced to make important moral and ethical choices regarding her own survival. Werner is even more troubling - while he is troubled by brutality he witnesses at the Nazi school, he seems resigned to it. Werner neither openly embraces Nazism, nor condemns it - he's indifferent to the whole experience and role he plays. It's as if Doerr never gave Werner the opportunity to grow up, choosing instead to preserve the young boy, fascinated by radio - which goes contrary to what boys and children in general experience in any war, which instantly strips them of their childhoods forever. The subplot featuring Von Rumpel, the old Nazi who searches for the mystical diamond seems to be attached to the rest of the book for no reason except to move the plot forward - there's no complexity to his character at all, and develops exactly as

Werner exhibits courage by going against his beliefs of Germany helping Marie-Laure and the French natives, picking his ethics over the beliefs and qualities he was taught since birth. Werner has been overhearing discussions with his sister talking about making the right decision over wrong. Werner's closest companion is subjected to go to a school where individuals of a lower class are minimized and beaten. Werner is aware of this event, however, does nothing to meddle with such conduct. “Frederick hardly ever thinks of himself. Frederick is stronger than he is in every imaginable way. Werner opens his mouth but closes it again; he drowns; he shuts his eyes, his mind. At some point, the beatings stop. Frederick is facedown in the snow” (Doerr 194). Toward the start of

According to Joseph Campbell the definition of a hero is “an ordinary human who does the best of things in the worst of times”. I believe that Oskar Schindler is a hero because he did the best things for many people, in their worst of times. Three great qualities that make up a hero are, loyalty, courage, and compassion. When Oskar Schindler hired Jews to work in his factory he took a huge risk. Throughout the time he employed the Jews he showed all of these amazing qualities as he helped some Jews in Poland survive the Holocaust.

Aristotle’s definition of a hero is a person who begins their life in good fortune, but suffers from a tragic flaw. As a result of the flaw, the hero must end in misfortune. The hero in the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is Bruno, an eight-year-old boy who lives a lavish life. He lived in a large house with his family and his maids, surrounded by a neighborhood full of children. But due to his father’s position, his family and his maids had to relocate to a new area in Auschwitz. In addition to the relocation, the new house was almost secluded, leaving Bruno with no other children to socialize with.

Anybody can kill innocence. Bob Ewell not only destroyed his children’s innocence. He took that not only with his pride; but with his liquor. He’s an attempted killer that shows little remorse for his actions. He only feels his pride and rage. The blood is on his hands. His own blood. He only died in vain from his original goal. Bob is basically an idiotic and prideful coward that shows little remorse for his actions.
