In my opinion, he is not a hero, but an anti-hero. Dally was a criminal, and he took pleasure in that; he didn’t like doing things the legal way. He was a product of bad circumstances. The reason why he is a hero, is that he saved Johnny and Pony many times. Dally helped them find a place to stay when they were fugitives; gave them money and a gun; and when he risked his life to save the kids from the burning barn.…

Louis Riel is considered one of the most important figures in Canadian history. Was he a hero or a traitor? In my opinion, he should be remembered as a hero. His leadership of the Métis was shown in both the Red River in 1869 and North West Rebellions in 1885.…
Louis Riel definitely played a huge role in making Canada into what it is today. He led two major rebellions, The Red River Rebellion and The Northwest Rebellion, both of which he was fighting for Metis rights. Louis Riel was considered a hero. Firstly, a hero is someone who never abandons their people. Even in exile, Riel answered the Metis call of help and returned to Canada to lead his people. This showed that Riel wasn’t cowardly and still had the inner-Metis within him. He suffered a huge loss once before, yet he still helped the Metis. An average man would have given up. Additionally, a hero is someone who seeks peace. Before the Rebellion, Riel sought many peaceful approaches with the government.…

Christopher Columbus is a man who is known in society simultaneously as a hero and a villain of his time. What if the world had to pick only one, what would it be? Many new studies and scholars believe that Columbus was the villain of his story not a hero as past information would lead us to believe. Past documents were all written from Europe’s point of view, this lead to extremely biased documents because Europe was the side to profit unlike the Native Americans. Columbus was the antagonist of the new world due to how he forced the natives into slavery, he raped and robbed the natives he found, and how he slaughtered the natives if they could not collect enough gold.…

Depicted is scenario in accordance to Beowulf’s actions. Kevlar is a military man who defends his people through battle and experiences events uncommon in an ordinary man or woman’s everyday life. One specific experience includes continuously fighting in dangerous battles to ensure safety for his people. Saving lives and defending his people while risking his own life is a large element of heroism. By finding, achieving, or doing something greater than himself, in this case, the possibility of losing his life in order to ensure his people's safety, Kevlar is Joseph Campbell’s definition of a hero. It is not easy to act on something such as Kevlar’s job leading to why many think of him as a hero. But what is overlooked are the hidden roles…
The definition of a hero is “a person who is admired or idealized for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey shows a blurb on the back of the book that refers to him as “heroic,” this statement is false through textual evidence in the novel. McMurphy is not heroic because he is destructive towards the people he has hurt before going to the mental ward, as well as tampering with the others recovery by taunting the nurse and trying to break her down which prevents treatment for the patients that are actually mentally ill, and lastly his actions are a direct cause of a patient committing suicide. These actions by McMurphy label him as an unheroic person.…
Heroes and villains always contribute to all great stories. Louis Riel, one of the most controversial figures in Canadian history, is now argued as both a villain and a hero. He was hanged on November 16, 1885 for treason, but was he a real villain? Louis Riel is undoubtedly a national hero because he stood up for Métis rights, was responsible for the formation of Manitoba, and called attention to the Canadian Pacific Railway.…

The most famous businessman in the world, Andrew Carnegie, actually grew up with another family in one half of an attic, and him and his parents in another half. This attic was located above his father’s workplace in Dunfermline, Scotland. At the age of eight, he started his education in a one-room school packed with around 150 students. Driven by the Irish potato famine, his family left for the United states in 1848, searching for a better and safer life. In order to make ends meet his family needed $7.50 a week, so Carnegie took a job at a local textile mill setting, removing bobbins as they filled with spun yarn. At the age of sixteen, he worked as a telegraph operator. He became locally famous for being able to decode Morse code messages…
