Hero assignment
What is a hero? Throughout the ages the concept of a hero changes and transforms into what a person people typically find heroic. The hero figure changes over time. One would imagine a hero to be a strong, intelligent and charismatic character, typically a knight or prince riding on a gleaming white stallion to save a maiden or city from a dangerous threat.
There is a quote by a man of the name of Felix Adler “The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world ,who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by” Felix believed that heroes set blazing torches of hope through men. Heroes of been there for humanity throughout the ages and are never forgotten. Heroes are men who are able to take a risk and succeed.
The epitome of hero for me is someone who fulfills his or her task faithfully and with dignity. A hero is willing to overcome any challenge or obstacle with his head firmly planted on his shoulder. He puts himself whole heartedly into the task and doesn’t give up or back down, he puts his shoulders back and head up and goes into the challenge without looking back. A hero is also someone who acts with grace under pressure. With all the time in the world, anyone could perform the hero’s task; but the hero is able to perform well under the most difficult circumstances and handle it with ease.
Heroes always help society and individuals to change and are a role model in society. Over all heroes have some characteristics in common that influence society and individuals. They live in the heart and mind of people because of their extraordinary principles such as bravery, loyalty and strength. Now days we have fictional characters which we call superheroes. We have Superman, Batman, Spiderman and many others. What do all of these heroes have in common? The will to help others, make hard sacrifices and do what’s right.
