Introduction
Persevering and taking leaps of faith are aspects we should all have in our lives. Miles Morales from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse directed by Peter Ramsey displayed these two aspects throughout the film, which made him memorable to me. I found Miles as a significant character who I knew I would always remember, as he taught me multiple various life lessons that I could use to enhance my own life for the better. Two compelling attributes that I grasped by the character Miles are, “perseverance” and “taking a leap of faith.”

He stands out from other movie characters thanks to his motivating perseverance attributes and firm dedicated mindset. Miles' perseverance, which is driven by nothing more than guts and resolve, is seen in every turn and twist of the film. An example of Miles showing perseverance is shown when his uncle Aaron encouragingly says to him, “you're the best of us Miles, just keep going.” This phrase was told to Miles while his uncle was dying, he persevered through this tough situation and went on to confront Kingpin. He represents the good side of a society where perseverance is constantly praised because he keeps working hard in times of difficulties. A time where perseverance was shown in the bible is through Jeremiah, who continued to preach about god and remained persevering, despite all the horrible things that were happening to him. Miles’ firm determination serves as an example that goes beyond just superheroes or the movies, motivating everyday individuals looking for inspiration. Miles explained to Peter B Parker, “I made a promise, and I have to keep it.” Miles’ mindset and perseverance when he spoke this phrase serves as an inspiration to our society. His perseverance is often shown in the movie through slow sad music which puts him down, and eventually changes into high energy music such as “what's up danger” which shows that he has persevered through the tough situation.

As found on etymonline, perseverance is from Old French Perseverance, “persistence, endurance,” and directly from Latin perseverantia, “steadfastness, constancy”. These roots of durability and hard work relate to my definition of perseverance, which is the ability to continue towards a goal, despite obstacles that stand in the way. The Moores had a goal—to escape poverty.
People think perseverance is a drive fueled by the passion to reach certain goals or goal-oriented, but perseverance is a long-term commitment and a lot of discipline to improve our skills and performance through persistent effort. The Scar Boys by Len Vlahos is a wonderful example that having perseverance can push you to reach your goals. Through the use of character, situational, and symbolic archetypes, Len Vlahos develops the concept of “perseverance” by showing the group of companions always sticking together in gritty situations, and how they persevere through that moment. Through the book, the group becomes a band, “The Scar Boys.”
One way he shows grit and determination is when he had to hide in the rafters with his friends and mom. He had to hide in the rafters to escape the Nazi authorities. He was out playing with his friends Yossel and Samuel when they heard something wrong. He didn’t want to get caught and killed, so he hid with Yossel, Samuel, and his mom. A quote that shows this is, “We laid still for a long, long time.”
The story Susan B. Anthony Dares to Vote shows perseverance because Susan had never given up on her fight for women's rights to vote. For example, one day Susan dressed up as a man in order to vote because she knew that women couldn't vote. Even though she was a women, she dressed up as a man to show that she will never give up in what she believes in. This shows perseverance because she tried everything in order to get women to vote even though most of her ideas did not work.

The original Spider-Man first appeared in 1962. Peter Parker was a high school student when he was bitten by a radioactive spider, which gave him superhuman strength, agility, and the ability to cling to surfaces.

He hates the refugee camp and wants to get out of there. “I only need to get through the rest of this day, he told himself. This day and no other.”

Helping Zero after he collapses from sickness, possibly caused by the consumption of ‘sploosh’ (old spiced peach jam). “He thought only about each step, not the impossible task that lay before him,” (page 170), which further displays his ultimate perseverance.
