“Very funny. Do you know how many games we played, AND LOST?”

“You didn’t even count”, said Chase. Well no countering that.

“Grab your soccer balls guys and meet me over there,” coach said. “We need to prepare for our next game. We trained as hard as we could. My problem in the game was speed, so I worked hard to see if I could kick it up a notch. Didn’t think it would mater though.

    Theseus is often seen as the greatest hero in Athens, but is his story that much different than any other hero? The Greek myth “Theseus” is a perfect example of Joseph Campbell’s idea of the Hero’s Journey, also known as Monomyth. Monomyth is the idea that all stories follow a basic pattern, written in twelve stages. The three stages that best demonstrate this idea in Theseus are: Crossing the Threshold; Tests, Allies, Enemies; The Resurrection.…

    Epic Hero Essay

    A hero is a person of distinguished courage who has outstanding qualities and abilities, and who is admired for brave and noble acts. An Anglo-Saxon hero is a person who has good leadership qualities, is able and willing to provide people with a sense of security, and is willing to go into danger despite possible harm to them. Beowulf, Roy Hobbs, and the Dark Knight are all three heroes that exhibit Anglo-Saxon qualities that have allowed them to evolve into something bigger than itself. All three heroes have shown Anglo-Saxon values which have allowed the newer generation of heroes such as the Dark Knight to still possess these values and qualities that were founded at an earlier date. I have found six qualities among the three heroes which they all happen to possess which include strength, loyalty, courage, bravery, confidence and honor. These six qualities have shown that no matter how new or old the hero is, they have all stayed true and evolved starting with the Anglo-Saxon era.…
