Heracles, also known as Hercules in Roman mythology, is one of the most famous heroes in Greek mythology. He is renowned for his strength and courage, and his hero journey is a classic example of the hero's journey archetype. Stephan Fry's version of the myth provides a unique perspective on Heracles' journey, which can be divided into three parts: departure, initiation, and return. The departure stage of Heracles' journey is marked by his exile from Thebes, the city where he was born. As Fry explains, this was the result of a tragic mistake he made, killing his own wife and children in a fit of madness.
My personal Michigan hero is my seventh grade social studies teacher, Ms. Dokter. Though I am not a personal friend of hers, per say, she had a tremendous impact on my life. She made me laugh, told me that I could do whatever I put my mind to, and was an amazing educator. Seventh grade was tough for me at times. I was at a new school, and it seemed like everyone knew what they were doing except me.
Debi Mazar is an actress who stated, “A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tried to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really, deeply cares.” Heroes are relevant to everyone, because at some point, everyone has had a hero. Sadly, today’s society degrades the meaning of the word “hero”. Heroes are an important aspect of life, but famous people are not always heroes.
Homeroom Reflection Junior year I have grown as a student this semester by watching the mala movie. This has helped me grow as a student because it showed me how just one voice can change so much in a community. From this experience I learned how Mala was an ordinary girl but who ones spoke up for what she believed was right for her community and the people all around her. After she started to change her community on a positive way for example, have more schools so students can have an education and making sure girls were able to attend school more often. Therefore, when she spoke up for what she thought was right and changed people 's life there was some who didn 't appreciate what she was doing so decided to shot her and ended up shooting her on her forehead.

He told Alex (my twin sister) and I to wait in the truck. I was confused and curious as to why we had stopped. I just had assumed my dad had to use the restroom and couldn’t hold it any longer. That was until my dad abruptly climbed down into the ditch alongside the road. He made his way through the corn stover, nearing a tall green plant.
He uses an inspiring tone to encourage the reader that the things in this life are worth fighting for and worth fighting against. His ultimate goal is to emphasize to the reader that we should not let our life go to waste, since it is guaranteed to end one day.
Would the statement, all heroes and heroines are originated from the same basis be true? Most likely, ones favorite hero novel would follow the hero’s journey which is the cycle of the hero’s adventure involving different archetypes. A hero novel does not necessarily have to involve supernatural powers and the hero does not necessarily have to save the world; a hero can go through the hero’s journey to save one person or to reveal a hidden truth. If a story follows the hero’s journey, it includes the three categories of the archetypes—character, place, event. Midwinterblood written by Marcus Sedgwick is one example of a novel that fits into the hero’s journey archetype.
11:55 pm In the mess his wristwatch was the only semblance of order, the only way he could keep track of the time - the hours and minutes that passed from journey to journey, the knowledge of days, weeks or months now a relic he could only yearn to be blessed with. He didn't know how long he had been a vagrant, and right now it no longer mattered to him; however long it was it had grown amorphous and into a nagging reminder of his transient lifestyle, and now he found it all but inconsequential. He couldn't go back now - back to the hometown in which he once resided, back to the life he once lived; it was but a figment of imagination now - a nostalgic theatre so ingrained in the past it took upon an almost fictional form, like an old painting
The clouds are my only company. The rest of the world is quite, unmoving, still. I stand up and walk over to the edge of the tower and look over the horizon. I start activating my skills, one after the other.
A hero, by its literal definition, is "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities". I know when most people think of a hero, they immediately think of comic books and big movie franchises. The Avengers, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the list goes on and on. They're recognized as heroes because they use powers or abilities that were given to them or created by godly forces or money to do good deeds for their community, and sometimes the world. But real heroes are people who risk their lives, without a lot of money or superpowers, to save others without thinking about the consequences.
A red cape rushes past, catching the wind within its grasp. It waves to those passing by on a warm afternoon. It is a beacon of hope… donned by a three-foot-seven-inch little boy. One may ask, “Why is he dressed like this?” The answer is quite simple: Superman is this little boy’s hero.
This is who I am, I keep telling myself: a hero. That I should rescue my father -- the past or something poignant, I don’t quite know -- from the clutches of a dragon or perhaps the dragon. That I should be happy and fulfilled in the present, that I should discard the illusions that plague me. But I don’t know what those illusions are supposed to be, where they start and where I start. Am I just a bag filled with lies or is there a substance to my being…
