Wonder Wom My Personal Hero
The stereotypical heroic figure is someone with an inhumane superpower wearing an extravagant costume and a cape. Nevertheless, my personal hero is an ordinary individual that is my own ‘Wonder Woman’.
My mom has proved to be much more than a simple caregiver. She has almost every job there is and at the end of the day her only form of payment is all the love and gratitude we have for her. Furthermore, my ‘Wonder Woman’ works twenty-four hours, seven days a week, year-round, and I've never seen her out of breath. Moreover, she’s always there no matter the situation. Any illness, personal problem, and/or necessity that I'm lacking, I know that I can give out a ‘Bat Call’ and my super hero will always have my back. Additionally, my mom and I

Heroes are pillars of a societies values, what a society finds important is what will be found in the overall makeup of the heroes themselves.

    In society today people see only superheroes like Superman, Batman and Spiderman as heroes, but a hero can be anyone brave, clever and courageous. For example, in the story Rebel Behind The Lines, Emma shows characteristics of being an hero. Emma Edmonds from the hometown of Saint John, Canada, was a really brave women who went out to become a soldier in the Union Army in total disguise as a man during the Civil War against the Confederates. “He pushed the enlightenment form over for her to sign.

    During the Anglo Saxon days, the original hero was Beowulf, the supreme warrior. He had marvelous strength, not like the average being. His true bravery and his powerful will to fight to death is what people genuinely knew him for. However, in today’s society, the modern superheroes are taken as being a regular limited hero. Spiderman for instance, was not born with super powers but was bitten by a spider that gave him the power. Unlike Beowulf, who would kill his enemy, Spiderman has limitations and would not dare kill his enemy because he believes death is never the answer.…

    “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no its Superman!” For decades comic book characters such as Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Wonder Woman have captured the imaginations of American children and adults alike. “Superheroes,” they have been coined. But these figures only exist in our imaginations. Batman is not really there to save us from villains such as the Joker and the Riddler. Because these heroes are fictional, we are left without real life heroes… or are we? The answer is clearly no. Heroes are all around us. They can be courageous, intelligent, strong or daring, but heroes to me are selfless and brave.…

    n the essay entitled "Who killed Benny Paret?  the author, Norman Cousins, writes about the dangers that come with the sport of boxing. He especially talks about a match that resulted in the death of a boxer named Benny Paret. Cousins argues that boxing is just a show of violence and that boxers put themselves in the ring just for the simple purpose of entertaining a crowd. The crowds of people that attend these matches don't go to see the sport of boxing, but merely the brutality of a knock out.…

    In her article, O’Reilly specifically epitomizes Wonder Woman as rising to an achieved level of ‘super hero’ while comparing other like-heroes’ autonomy in that Wonder Woman was not granted freedom to simply be declared a super hero as ‘Clark Kent just dons a cape’ (O’Reilly, 443). However, what made Superman a superhero was that he was not human and possessed ‘un-earthly’ powers which alone distinguished him from others. Can it not then be reasoned that he might be challenged himself to obtain trust and acceptance from the general public to prevent massive fear; for who would be comfortable knowing a humanoid existed with such massive god-like powers who might whimsically turn to evil? Or how about Batman, for instance; would one seriously believe that as the only member of the Justice League without a single super power (and fighting very powerful and clever enemies), he became so just because he was male and donned a cape? O’Reilly’s hypothesis on gender bias stretches beyond comics’ intended purpose of entertainment and lessons of patriotism, good moral and ethical behavior, and imagination among readers of all ages.…

    When we’re little, we develop an image that heroes are abnormal people with superpowers and capes. Although, as we get older, we start to realize that what we have been told about heroes is all a lie. There are countless people in this world stating that heroes can in fact be actual human beings with no powers whatsoever. As stated in one of Maya Angelou’s quotes, “I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people,” she is saying that anyone can be a hero as long as they meet some characteristics like how they are brave whenever a challenge comes their way, courages when they face their fears, or they are determined to do anything even if it means it could affect their life in a negative way.…

    Different writers use different techniques to create a sense of atmosphere and mystery in their stories. I have chosen two ghost stories, 'The Monkey's Paw' written by W W Jacobs and 'Who Goes Down This Dark Road?' written by Joan Aiken. I am going to use these two stories to compare the techniques used by writers from different times. Using these two stories I am going to describe how the openings takes place, the characters, story structure, historical contexts and the settings used to describe the location in which the story took place.…

    Developed in the early nineteen-hundreds, books of re-printed newspaper “funnies” became a quite popular form of American entertainment. More true at the time to their title of comic panels, they portrayed very light brands of comedy, superficial, predictable, very brief story-lines. But more modern comic books rarely entertain such limitations, ever portraying more serious tones. Superficial plot-lines are almost nonexistent, while we are lead to relate to the heroes on a much more personal level, privy to their internal struggles frame-by-frame.…

    There are about as many different definitions of a hero as there are heroes. And, contrary to what some might say, our world is full of heroes. But a hero is not necessarily someone who does something glorious or especially courageous. For me, a hero is someone who fulfills his or her task faithfully and with dignity. A hero is willing to take full responsibility. A hero is also someone who acts with grace under pressure. With all the time in the world, anyone could perform the hero’s task; but the hero is able to perform under the most difficult of circumstances. Finally, and most important, the hero puts the well-being of other before himself or herself. Captain Chesley B. Sullenberger, III, the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, meets all the criteria for being a modern-day hero.…

    I thought I’d start out with heroes. We all have leaders. Leaders are those that we respect the most and want to be like. None of these leaders – the ones you know or the ones you don’t know yet – are perfect, and if they were, I doubt if I would want to emulate them. They are just leaders who followed the facts to where the facts led them, and when they found themselves in some odd place, coming to some even odder conclusions, these leaders didn’t back down.…
