General Gates had underestimated his troops ability to fight until it was too late to back out. The start of the battle involved
I don 't think George Ellsworth from the article, "Act Of A Hero" is a hero considering that during the story he didn’t complete all the steps of the hero cycle. In the article he didn’t have a trial which is a set of challenges to test a leader or did he have a change in personality which is where the leader and the group worked together to escape. He also didn’t have a final challenge which, therefore classifies him as not a hero. Another reason he is not a hero in my perspective is when he got to the trapped children and made no attempt nor effort to try and save them, whereas he eagerly backed away from the children when he heard the sirens from the fire trucks and was relieved that "he was no longer forced to make a decision" which was
We took them with us, and they survived the war.” This means that he could of died doing something that he didn 't even really enjoy doing. Those are a few (out of many) courageous things
Instead they outmanoeuvred and surrounded him. He was hugely outnumbered and was one of the many reasons they
This is not honorable. His motives do not make him a tragic hero. Although he died while serving his country, that does not make him hero. In conclusion, Valdez writes this play to entertain and to teach the audience the dangers of glamorizing war.
Brad Ludden is a hero because his mom had breast cancer and since then he was inspired to be a kayaker and help people with cancer have life-changing experiences. With these life changing experiences he would make a change in people with cancer. Instead of being depressed because of their cancer they would change their mindset to enjoy life.
Pat Tillman has gave up his career to go fight for his country in the Military. He is a great example of Determination, Loyalty, and Modesty throughout his life and that is what i'm going to talk to you about. Pat Tillman has so many qualities that he was remembered for, but the one that stands out is his determination. The reason it stands out is because if he didn't have this quality then he wouldn't have been were he was today.
Based on the videos, James Shaw can be characterized as a hero. James Shaw can be characterized as a hero because he selflessly wrestled a gun from the Waffle House shooter and raised over $150,000 for the victims' families. James Shaw is a hero because he showed bravery when he decided to fight for his life and, in return, saving many others. Another reason why Shaw is a hero is because even though he insisted that he stopped the shooter for himself, he still decided to help the victims again by raising over $150,000 for them on GoFundMe.com. For these reasons, many more, James Shaw can be characterized as a hero.
If it wasn't for him somebody could have got shot that Night. However, being the hero, James Shaw is those victims made it back home safe the Night of the shooting. Another reason why James Shaw can be characterized as a hero is because he showed bravery when he decided to fight for his life and in return saving others
He was very brave throughout the
He donated lots of money to people and places and charities that needed it the most . This would be one reason why someone would think he is heroic. Many people would not really see this heroic because he was a wealthy man he had a lot more money than what he donated. Yes he did donate a good portion of his money but people
Particularly, the reason getting over his situation is one of the guys that was killed was his best friend. Also, Luttrell was the only one to survive so he had to relay what had happened during his time in Afghanistan, this being the attacks that were brought upon the SEAL team, and what had happened to the men: “I was the bearer of the terrible news” (4). The metaphor Luttrell uses here means more than just the bearer of bad news; bearer is also the flag holder and the casket-holder. If it wasn’t enough that Luttrell had to live with all that had happen, such and his friends being killed in front of him, now he had to deal with everyone asking him questions and bothering him about it only bringing back all the bad memories of that horrifying time in Luttrell’s
The pressure to perform well by others hurt him more than it helped him. The suicide rate of veterans is 50% higher than people who havent served in the military. People lose self-worth, sending them into depression, which causes suicide. This is another one of the mental illnesses that come with fighting in a
During the video "The Hero's Adventure", by Joseph Cambell there are a lot of interesting facts and points of views. One statement particularity caught my attention right off the bat. "Sometimes it seems to me that we ought to feel pity for the hero instead of admiration, So many of them have sacrificed their own needs". I mean think about it, most people grow up with Hero's inside Disney movies and pretend to be the Hero's and mimic the glory of it all. Though it isn't really glorious to be a hero is it?
Take a look at his job for instance; he is a reporter for a newspaper in the Marine Corps. Each Marine is trained to be one and each Marine is a rifleman trained to kill. It consistently gets berated into them in boot camp all the time. Then he gets a job as a reporter having nothing to do with killing, but simply observing the chaos of war. “This is my rifle
