    Sherman Alexie: A Hero's Identity?

    In the Moyers interview of Sherman Alexie numerous things stood out to me, that I have never known about or never looked at in a certain way. The biggest of which is the signing of a paper ordering the death of 38 Indians by Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln is widely known as one of the best presidents in the history of the U.S. and that he never did anything wrong. This impossible however for a human being, but his signature on the paper was contradicting what he was supporting to gain more rights for everyone. This was covered up from most Americans however because of the maybe damaging a hero's identity. The Natives never did not know about this, as Alexie says in the interview that they always knew about executions and were usually afraid of them.…

    Leo Hart Unsung Hero

    “[The school that Leo Hart built] gave us pride and dignity and honor when we didn't have those things. The school did a great deal to cause us to believe we were special,” said Carlton Faulconer, an Oklahoma migrant that graduated from Hart’s school. The Dust Bowl was a time where the mid-South states were plagued by dust storms. Families fled the area and most of them wound up in California where the current residents thought they shouldn’t be educated. Leo Hart thought otherwise. Hart impacted many Dust Bowl refugee families by taking actions when others didn’t, building a school for Okie children, and including important life skill classes.…

    Ethan Frome: A Tragic Hero

    Like many individuals in today's society, Ethan Frome merely wished to achieve his aspirations and pursue lifelong contentment. However, Frome's over ambition created more complication than achievement. Frome possessed many extraordinary qualities such as his intelligence and benevolent nature—albeit he contradicts his moral character and principles. Though his moral character possessed merit and his actions were of good intent, this is what ultimately drove him to a tragic end. As a young adult, Frome postponed his own education in order to tend to his parents until their demise. He then fell in love with his mother’s caregiver, Zeena, who he later felt obliged to marry. Once Zeena became ill, her cousin, Mattie, became her caregiver. Frome…

    Timothy Leary as a Hero

    The term "hero" brings to mind many ideas, many events, and many people. However, one face it generally fails to conjure is that of Timothy Leary. Dr. Leary managed to create a level of infamy few Americans have achieved since this country 's inception; he is the poster-child of the mind-altering hallucinogen LSD and has been labeled by many as the subversive leader of the counter-culture movement of the sixties. Not many people appreciate this great man 's long string of accomplishments, his devotion to scientific progress, or his cheery, irrepressible personality. It is a small circle of people indeed who would label this man a hero, but the truth is that Dr. Leary embodied the principles of courage, discovery, and benevolence, which none can deny are heroic trademarks.…

    Calvin Gant: A True Hero

    Lastly, Calvin Gant was a hero by looking out for others. Calvin Gant took Gretchen’s father to trial making Mr. Luttermann go to jail, and supporting many other side characters to achieve their happiness. “I hoped they could help each other; they were my good friends and they'd been wounded and scarred and crippled in what that jerk of a Commissioner called preparing for life” (West 272). This quote is important because it shows and tells that Calvin Gant is caring and kind and will do anything to save that person's happiness. Heroes are meant to help and save people's so they can be untroubled and be at peace, which shows that Calvin is a hero. He doesn't need to be Superman who has super ability, but if he's willing to sacrifice himself…
