The Incredibles Or Simba In The Lion King

When I think of a hero, I think about The Incredibles or Simba in The Lion King. A hero is someone who sacrifices their life to help other people. Heroes come in all forms. Heroes are leaders. They stand up when life gets tough, and they are someone people can count on. Something that I have to remind myself is that they are also human and not perfect. They will make mistakes, but that does not make them any less of a role model.
In The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh is a character that stands out from the others. He definitely has characteristics of a hero. First, when he defeated the monster, Humbaba, he was creative and courageous. The village people warned him not to go because of how intimidating he was. Gilgamesh tricked the beast by offering
Her goal, as a writer, was to speak truth about women that contradicted the stereotypes she identified in past literature. She was someone who took a chance and a major leap of faith. She stood up for women and their role in society. She has had a major impact on the world and women in general. In the story The Book of the City of Ladies, Pizan writes about three different goddesses. In one of the lines she says, “So you see, my dear daughter, that you alone of all women have been granted the honour of building the City of Ladies” (Puchner, Martin. The Norton Anthology of World Literature. New York: W.W. Norton, 2013. Print). So in this scene, the daughter has been chosen to help construct the city. I love that a girl has been picked. I think it shows that women have power and can lead when needed. The people have put their trust in this girl and I am sure from her perspective it feels good to know this. In the third section of this book, Pizan includes historical examples of women from her life that are notable. She notes that these people aren’t just princesses, but maybe someone who lectured her in a classroom or an art teacher that challenged her. She brings up a good point that in order for someone to be a mentor or a role model, they don’t have to be rich or a person who is known by many people. They might be poor, but they have had many life
He is described as a fool. Everyone has that one friend that is one step behind in the conversation. I know I can relate to him sometimes. In my friend group I am known as the funny one. Sometimes I say things without thinking and it comes out sounding idiotic. I am the person that gets picked on the most because my friends know I can take it. In the same sense, I don’t think I am taken as serious as other people, just like Don Quixote. He is not someone that people are going to trust to do something. Don Quixote is not someone that strikes you, immediately, as a hero. He lacks a lot of the characteristics that most heroes possess. He is in his fifties, which does not matter but he does not have as much physical strength any more. But, I think there is so much that goes into being qualified to be a hero. He was known for having a lot of pride. But one day he changes and has a mental breakdown. He realizes that he is not what he wants to be. He looks up to people that he shares none of the same characteristics with. He has a change of heart and starts acting differently. He takes a leap of faith and goes after what he wants. He realizes his character is not what he wants it to be and he does something about
