Two-Face: Playing The Role Of A Hero

A hero is not always someone with power. A true hero can be a person that inspires you to be better in life. Many heroes simply help other in danger. Police officers, firefighters and even doctors give people strength to overcome problems. What kind of qualities makes a hero? In the play Antigone, the play writer Sophocles had different type of qualities for a hero. The character of Creon is a true tragic hero that wants to be respected by the city. His pride for the city caused pain to his family and himself.

When you ask a kid who a hero is, most likely they will reply with Superman, Batman, or somebody in tights and cape and though they may be fictional heroes, they are not real life heroes. They haven't felt heartbreak and triumph. They are simply drawing or figments of somebody imagination. If you ask teenager who a hero is, they will probably respond with some athlete, a football star or basketball star. Just because they had a perfect season or because they get asked for autographs all day doesn’t make them any more special from you and me. Famous people may have some tragic backstory, but don’t we all? Don’t we all deal with the ups and down of everyday life?

Could a villain be a hero? Could a hero be a villain? Becoming a hero is fit for anyone, even a villain. Someone who is described as a villain in society could have some heroic aspects in them. For example the Grinch, from The Grinch who stole Christmas, he was described as the ‘foe’ in his town because of how he looked and one bad action that he had done in the past. Although when a young girl approaches him, he transformed into a kind hearted man who became the Grinch who saved Christmas instead of the Grinch who stole Christmas later on. That is an example of a heroic so called ‘villain’. A hero could be anyone. My definition of a hero is someone who puts others before them, someone who has a big heart, and someone who is inspired and admired

The basic traits of being a hero are simple. You must have courage, selflessness, humility, loyalty, patience and care deeply about others. “A hero is a person or main character of a literary work who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through impressive feats of ingenuity, bravery or strength, often sacrificing their own personal concerns for a greater good. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero)”.

Throughout history man has had to struggle with the problem of evil, as it’s one of the most serious problems of the world and the greatest challenge to man’s faith. Actually, the world of villains is similar to the heroes’ world as it’s full of dreams, challenges and insistence on reaching the goal. The difference is that one fights for evil and the other fights for good. Human beings are confused whether they are inherently good or evil at birth, or they are nurtured to be so. Therefore, we need to know the meaning of the word “evil”. Actually, the definition of the word evil differs from one writer to another as it depends entirely upon his/her perspective upon the word. Also there is no specific one who always does the evil actions, as even heroes could commit evil.

What is a hero? Ask a child and he or she may say a superhero like Superman or Batman. But we all know that heroes are not just those people who defeat the bad guy and save the day. Spanning through millennia, there have been many differences in the meaning of a hero. In modern day, a hero is typically a person who is revered and appreciated for making or attempting to make a difference in the world. Qualities a hero may have are: integrity, leadership, strength, confidence, courage, and humility. These qualities have allowed and equipped men and women to fight for freedom, human rights, equality, and education. Although Malcolm X and Beowulf existed centuries apart and faced different adversities, they both share the heroic traits of courage and leadership.

The biggest takeaway I received from my NAR shadowing experience at Three Links was just how vital the staff who works with the residents truly are. If you would ask anyone if the staff at a medical facility is important, the answer would be yes. However, until you physically observe staff perform crucial tasks for their resident, one cannot truly comprehend the impact staff makes on residents. The staff at Three Links helps residents perform essential, everyday tasks such as feeding, bathing, and toileting. The staff not only provides personal care, but also acts as the resident’s family by forming strong relationships with residents. My experience shadowing at Three Links reminded me that caring for others is truly a challenge, but can be miraculously rewarding and essential to the well-being of others.

I think Odysseus fulfills the description of a hero. A hero is defined as a cunning, confidence, brave, determined and a strong leader. A hero risks their own lives for the well being of others. He uses his knowledge, his determination, and also his braveness to save him and his men. When the suitors plan to kill Odysseus son, Telemachas, Odysseus speaks up to his men, “Friends, have we never been in danger before this? More fearsome, is it now, then when we faced the Cyclops.” Odysseus displays all the characters. In the chapter “Scylla and Charybdis” Odysseus and his men were frightened that Scylla and Charybdis would either beat them or eat them. He had to be a strong leader and convince his men that they needed to be brave. Odysseus put

We all have heroes. My question to you is what makes a hero a hero? I believe that a hero has to be courageous and they have to have a passion for what they are doing. A hero has to be loving and patient. My hero is a very, very beautiful girl. She has a lot going in her life at the moment. She’s caring and very, very smart. Her name is Ashley Nettifee.

What is a hero? What key qualities make someone a hero? There are many examples of heroes from ancient Greece. Classic examples of heroes include Heracles and Perseus, which little kids and even adults may know from watching Disney movies. Heroes have common criteria that label them as heroes, but also some unique features. The focus of this essay is Atalanta, the great virgin huntress. In Greek mythology, heroes have four important characteristics that qualify them as a hero. A hero is someone who is born in an unusual/unnatural fashion, often with a divine connection, seeks adventure and embarks on quests upon reaching adulthood, demonstrates great powers in confrontations against a combination of other heroes, monsters or divine powers, and remains mortal, but is considered to be divine as well.

Being a hero is not only about saving people and risking your life for others, but it is much more. A hero is admired for his outstanding courage and continuous achievements and someone worthy of our praise. However, heroes are not only those things. Heroes have fear, even if they overcome them, and those fears allow the hero to grow confidence and become better. All heroes are very smart and cunning and can work themselves around anything and everything with the best end in mind. In The Road, the father is a hero because he is very smart and courageous, he overcomes his fear of giving up where others would, and he puts himself through excruciating pain in order to keep the child and himself alive.

What is a hero? Everyone has different perspectives and opinions, I suppose, but who can be a hero? Do you have to have magical powers, be born onto another planet, or save millions of people? I guess it all depends upon your point of view, but I think anyone can be a hero, even those with evil in their hearts. Villains are heroes too, under everything, as both heroes and villains were innocent children at one point in their life. They both have hearts that want love and kindness. Villains aren’t evil at birth; someone puts that evil in their hearts. Anyone can be a hero; it ultimately boils down to willingly doing something for someone else without asking for anything in return.

“True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.” – Napolean Bonaparte. Every fairy tale or story contains a hero and most kids want to grow up to be that knight in shining armor. Many different people and authors portray the idea of heroism in various manners. John Wyndham in “The Chrysalids,” illustrates heroism in a thought-provoking way. Any hero will be responsible, smart and cautious of their enemies, they make decisions and act on a plan, rather than impulse. Consequently, a hero is a leader, an example. Besides having instinctive qualities to protect and guard, they also have incredible leadership traits any person would wish to possess. Finally, all heroes have the ability to resolve and realize that you have to take a life

In my life, I see every people I know and unknown is a hero. To me, hero is people that I can learn from, or get experience from them either in life, or at school. The qualities and the characteristics of heroes doesn 't important to me, because no matter how bad they are, or how good they are, there is things to learn from them. As I see in my mind, I think that everyone around me is heroes that I have known, but I know that there are still a lot of heroes that I don 't know around the world. Champions or bad guys are seen as heroes to me, because I know that there are things that I can learn from them. For example, many people would wonder why can bad guys would be heroes? The answer to that is because even in bad guys, there are still things to learn from them, but mostly is the experience, and to see them as result of stealing something, and not do it.

A super-villain is the antithesis to the morals of a superhero: where a super-villain is weak, selfish, and gluttonous, a superhero is strong, altruistic and charitable. Yet, while a superhero does his duty of saving people out of what he deems is expected of him, a super-villain's motivation comes from himself, not others. He drives himself not because of what he is told to do, but rather from his own ambition; if he wants something done, it is done through grueling work and dedication (even though it may not be for the most benevolent of reasons).
