Narrative
Even in the darkest of days light shines upon those that represent greatness. It can be defined as man changing from his felonious ways or a man teaching others not to be iniquitous and to live with morals. Life cannot shine and be as beautiful as it is without there being a hero (light) to shine upon life. Daily there are stories about a characteristic of greatness being shown in someone. A professional Athlete one who encourages kids to follow their dreams, a cop, a firefighter or a person who walks for breast cancer is considered a hero. These are people we need, what the world will be without people like this to be there so we can call them our heroes. Stories that resemble these heroes can be finding in the news, newspapers. All these people are trying to bring change to this world but what if the world was so perfect we didn’t need these people. Who would be meritorious amongst us? Is it that greatness can only be shown if there are others that need a role model or Does the world we live in make it impossible for someone to be a good citizen? If all we knew was different where everyone couldn’t do any harm and everything was as sweet as an apple pie being baked in a bakery how would our life’s be.
As time passes from A.M to P.M to night and day to breakfast to lunch and to dinner there isn’t a time when the question of “what would this day be like’ pop into our brains. If that question never arose and we already knew the answer would that be enjoyable or give us the same anxiety as Jim Carrey in the Truman Show. How would that make you feel? Having your questions already answered before you start your day? No complexities, just simulated like a video game without any bad guy telling you to start over would you challenge this Angelic lifestyle or would you accept it? In my aspect I wouldn’t want to play a role which I knew the script before reading it. That’s like being Indiana Jones and going

    People read and watch things about heroes all the time because in the deepest reaches of their mind they aspire to be among their ranks. The problem with the average person’s desire to be a hero is that they don’t truly know what a hero is. A hero is able to bounce back from a defeat that would stop any normal man in their tracks, they are inspirational, they gain followers and believers just by doing what they think is right, and they don’t have to be strong, but have to be able to take mental punishment like no other.…

    Even after all of her experiences in the concentration camps, she still had faith in God. She said, "God does not have problems — only plans." Without her faith in God, she wouldn’t have been able to be as resilient as she was during the Holocaust, and she wouldn’t have been able to minister to all of the people she did. All through history, society has reflected on what accurately defines a hero. More recently, individuals have considered Alek Skarlatos, Spencer Stone, and Anthony Sadler - three American friends who helped thwart what could have been a mass shooting on a packed high-speed train bound for Paris – as the chief example of a hero. They cared not for themselves, but for the individuals aboard the train, and although they have resisted the designation of a hero with vengeance and vigor, people around the world continue to think of these three men as heroes. It, in a way, makes individuals wonder, what can they do for other people, whether it’s giving their lunch to the woman down the street or giving up their seat on the bus for an elderly man? This all may…

    Often people have to endure tests of character in order to prove who they are. It is when people have to face great opposition that their character is truly shown; we see whether people are heroes or cowards. Those who are heroic always stand up for their morals and never back down and do selfless acts for the good of others. When people encounter moments where they have to face opposition they can do either of two things; they can stand up for what they believe in and do what they think is the right thing to do, or they can sit back and let someone else do it and simply try to ignore the problem. The ones who always stand up for what they believe are the people who are true heroes. People who have a heroic character will constantly rise up and speak out loud when they see that something wrong is going on. The people who are heroes are incredibly important to society, because they are the people who work for a better tomorrow; they are the people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for something better.…

    To begin, a great novelist, poet, and author once said “At times we feel outnumbered in our attempts to improve the world—to brighten and beautify, to preserve and heal and do what’s best for humanity. Selfless efforts can start to feel beleaguering, discouraging, even pointless with so little support. It is at these times I remind myself that I would rather be the last Good Samaritan standing than to join the ranks of selfish multitudes creating misery.” which gives us an image of being a good samaritan, and how even sometimes, the best of people can fall into selfish hole but it's those that come back up and show the world positivity that are true heroes and meant to heroes. In the short informative news article, “Can the Law Make Us Be Decent”, “Jay Silver Sterling” leans toward the decision of there…

    A man named Jason Metiva once told me, “A hero is an ordinary person with extraordinary qualities.” It was the summer of 2011, my best friend and I were in the backseat of her mom’s Honda Ridgeline dancing to the Top 100 Country Songs of the Year. My best friend, Lauren had invited me on a day trip up to Jerome. The drive was going to be a long three or four hours, so we drove to McDonald’s for breakfast and headed North at about 6 A.M.…

    “Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker” (C.S. Lewis). We need heroes to stand out and help when needed or called to action. Heroes should be people that all cultures/people all over the world can look up to and have a good example no matter how bad their life is. A hero puts others before himself, loves to give back and not take, and one who stands out and sets a good example.…

    People think of the word Hero and they automatically think of “Superman” or any other individual being with superhuman attributes. But the truth is that all these traits a hero has, like bravery, strength, compassion and the ability to know right from wrong, can all be seen in your average everyday citizen. We hold these incredibly high standards of what a hero should be when the actual real heroes are in front of us every day without us even acknowledging them. We shouldn’t take the actual heroes we have come to know for granted because one day when we find ourselves in a time of crisis it won’t be Superman who will come and save us.…

    A hero can make a difference in a small, medium, or large way. Some say that you can’t be a hero until you do a difficult or large task to prove that you are one. The truth is, the world is filled with heroes who became one by one simple task. Like your parents, city workers, or many other citizens. People aren’t doing the good to help themselves, there doing it for the person they are helping. Heroes aren’t heroes because they want to be, but because they choose to be kind and they go out of their way…

    My own view of a utopian society is fairly simple, a place in which there is no pain, no crime, no anger, no corruption, where there is no need for "justice", a place where murders would never take place. The government would be a public government, in which all citizens would take actions they make would be fair not ingnerent like our govement. Women and men would have equal writes and shar opinons. If a war would start in my utopian nations and friends and answer 'stop this is a place of love'.But in society today this would never happen. than society would answer the call to war and fight to protect their homes. Also i would try protecting my nation, governments, to help protect/uphold laws and to rebuild the economy. Every person would be perfect have a home, good education and health, and grow up in the safety of a caring family. In nature they would be no killing, food would be grown and not effecct the food chain and we would eat speacly bread animals.…
