Joseph Pfeifer: A Hero
Secondly, Joseph is a hero because he really cares about others. For example, if he was selfish , then he wouldn’t have saved the people from the high levels. He would’ve made sure that he was safe first and he would’ve tried to evacuate the building without caring about anyone else. This shows that he does not only care for others but he is also selfless. Since Joseph Pfeifer saved so many people, this shows that he is courageous, brave, and noble. He believed in himself and had the confidence to do hazardous things.

    To What Extent Did John Proctor Die A Hero In The Crucible

    In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, John Proctor displays some of the key aspects of beig a hero. Those aspects are, he risked his reputation and his life to save the lives of the falsely accused people in his town. A big aspect of being a hero is sacrifice, but even though he lacks the other aspects such as unselfishness and compassion, he is still a hero.

    Courage is probably the most important characteristic of being a hero. Johnny may not look courageous, but he shows the courage inside of him. Johnny shows courage a few ways. One way Johnny shows courage is by saving his friend Ponyboy from a group of Socs that had jumped them. Johnny may have had killed one of the Socs, Bob, but he saved his friend Ponyboy from drowning. Just like in super hero movies where a hero may have killed a villain, but saves others’ lives from the danger the villain was causing. Another way Johnny shows courage was by talking back to Dally, a mean vicious greaser who was harassing…

We can learn not to defend our bad decisions from the play as it will only make a situation worse. John Proctor is special because he can easily lie his way out of the mess, but he represents the right thing by giving his own fate for his people.…

    a. Joseph shows deep compassion to his brothers even when his brothers wanted to kill him. Joseph was second in command in Egypt and could have easily turned his brothers away leaving them to die, but instead he decided to love them and help them through the famine. Envy is the basis for how Joseph’s brothers behaved. It started with them envying Joseph because he was his father’s favorite. Then they were envious of his coat of many colors, and finally they were envious and offended by the dreams Joseph experienced. This envy drove them to sell their brother into slavery, which leads to another theme, diligence. Joseph showed diligence and devotion to God. Even when he was thrown in jail and framed for things he did not do, he still diligently sought God and followed his…

    Jesus Movie Analysis

    In the film Jesus, Joseph seemed to be one of the most important things in Jesus’ life, but in the Bible, there is almost no description of Joseph’s role as a father. Jesus cared about Joseph very much like his own father just like Joseph loved Jesus as his own. In the film, Jesus became very depressed and didn’t want to go preach to the world without his guidance when Joseph died. Joseph was his role model and Jesus did look up to him. Joseph did teach him how to be a carpenter and taught him how to be a servant to God.…

    Heroes In The Giver

    His actions are rarely noble, which was said to have been a hero’s trait, and his personality is not as one would think of a hero. As the novel progressing Jonas continues to make unwise decisions, thinking of only what he wants. With the many situations Jonas puts himself and others in with blatant disregard for their wellbeing or the rules, it is hard to see the heroic qualities he supposedly possesses. An antihero fits him quite well, with his unconventional versions of “heroism,” and he does nothing to prove himself worthy of a hero’s title. Jonas, or as it’s hebrew translation, “dove, or destroyer,” is apparently just as his name predicts(SheKnows…

    Example Of Heroism Essay

    Heroes have three main traits: enough guts to ignore those who have a problem with their goals and the way they are living their life, devotion to their cause, and benevolence towards everyone, no matter what. They do their best to be brave, courageous, and have spirit; in one word, gutsy. Even though many people didn’t support her and called her a witch, Joan of Arc had the bravery and strength to continue fighting for her cause. She used her courage and spirit to ignore negative opinions from the people around her. Heroes are devoted to their cause, and are persistent in trying to reach their goals, especially through hard times. An example is Penelope, wife of Odysseus. He went away to fight in a war, and didn’t come back. “Everyone by now took for granted that he was dead, except Penelope, his wife…the hope that her husband would return was faint, but it never died.” (Mythology, Edith Hamilton.) Penelope waited twenty…
