    Norman Mailer once said “For what does it mean to be a hero? It requires you to be prepared to deal with forces larger that yourself.” In plain English this true quote means in order to be a hero you must deal with forces out of your control, inconsequential if you fail or succeed. This quotation validly is proved by the life of Oskar Schindler. Schindler tried to face an incredible force larger than himself: the Nazis.…

    A hero, a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability (Merriam-Webster). There are two types of heroes, epic heroes and modern heroes. Odysseus, one of the most famous epic heroes ever, will be compared to Mahatma Gandhi, a modern day hero, to see if there really is a large gap separating the two types. However, one thing is certain, modern heroes can be identical to epic heroes if they are larger than life, embody the ideals of their culture, embark on a perilous journey, and possess super-human, prominent characteristics.…

    Night Reflection Essay

    • 634 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When we think we can't push anymore, we can push a little harder. When we think we're done, we're not. Our society has grown up under the impression that we aren't good enough, we're not strong enough, or we're not fast enough. So ever since I've heard that, I have pushed harder than I thought was possible, pushed past the limit. However at the same time it also personally impacts me because in the concentration camps they had to persevere, a lot. And I can relate a lot to perseverance because I have grown up swimming and the hard practices take a lot of perseverance. “Night” by Elie Wiesel teaches us all to persevere through the hard times and push ourselves past the limit. This is why I chose this…

    Rock Bottom Quotes

    This quote can be applied to many different circumstances in your life. This is why I believe it stands out so much to me. When I first read this quote I thought about football, but then I started thinking about it in a more broad perspective. If you apply it to your job, family, sports, etcetera, it all comes back to what the quote clearly states, no matter what the situation you always have a chance to succeed. Even when you think you've hit rock bottom, if you work to better yourself and your circumstances then you have succeeded. I also see it as when others think you've failed, you can truly judge yourself on how you respond. I always judged success on winning or…

    Make Me Stronger Quote

    • 407 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The statement “that which does not kill me, makes me stronger,” has become a very well-known and powerful quote in American culture. It has even inspired new forms of the quote as well as songs. The song “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson states that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stand a little taller, doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone, what doesn’t kill you makes a fighter…” She is singing exactly what this statement is about. Kanye West also wrote a song titled “Stronger,” that uses the same motivational quote, in which he says “that that don’t kill me can only make me stronger.” He also wrote that it “makes us harder, better, faster, stronger..” Just like these two iconic American singers, I too agree with the statement that…
