523 Words3 Pages

As I’ve changed over the years, the thing that has always been a constant in my life is my joy in helping others and being imaginative. Whether I was the quiet kid or the one who has too much to say, I made myself available for anyone who needed help on anything and I’d always have ideas. The feeling I get when from helping others has inspired me to what I want to see myself become as I grow older and have the imagination I hope I never grow out of. Since I was three years old, I’ve been a dedicated fan of comic books. I own quite an impressive collection of comic books and collectables. Seeing all these characters perform selfless acts of heroism, it motivated me to be like them. Even today, my biggest wish would to be Spider-Man. On the bright side, some of my friends (and myself) like to call me Spider-Man. I related to Spider-Man the most because I was a nerdy kid who couldn’t find exactly where he fit in.

  • The Hero's Journey: The Idea Of A Hero

    244 Words  | 1 Pages

    From Greek mythology to 21st century TV shows, the idea of what a hero is has changed. The antagonist was always patronized for his wrong doings and mishaps, the protagonist was always favored and rooted for during his journey, and the audience was always eager to find out what was going to happen next. The “hero’s journey” was consistently the traditional, saccharine, orthodox concept of the good guy embarking on a new adventure, with an objective that s/he must reach, while overcoming obstacles in order to transform her/him. Surprisingly, that all changed when we began to empathize with the bad guy during his journey. Those bad guys are not only in TV shows but also are in reality represented as celebrities.
