Personal Narrative: Angie Jimenez's 'Bowl Of Sunshine'

The story The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and the immigration photo by Jose Hernandez Clare are two things that i am comparing.

In these stories/photo they both have something different, in the immigration photo the men chose to leave everything they know and love to go to america and in the red umbrella the children were forced to go to america they didn’t have a choice and they didn’t want to go.

What is a hero? To most, it’s probably the classic superhero- the one with superpowers and can fly. To others, it might be a fictional character with a magic wand or a demigod in a prophecy. To some, it might be a real life person- a famous one or the ones who raised you.

A hero could be anyone. Heroes don’t have to shoot lasers or be able to fly. A hero could be someone who simply shows a great act or certain character trait like bravery or courage. Heroes go through a journey containing a call to adventure, a departure and a return to their homeland. A good example of heroism and heroic acts is David from the Chrysalids and Daniel from The Dangerous Days of Daniel X. David and Daniel experienced sacrifice, hardships and bravery through their journeys of becoming a hero.

A Hero with a Story Think of someone really inspirational, someone who doesn’t let you down and always finds a way to make you feel better no matter how bad the situation.

That person is my grandma Sheila Thompson, who even though went through many hardships, found a way to stay positive, and that is what inspires me.
