In the novel Wonder by R. J Palacio, a great theme is having a bestfriend to stick by your side is better than being someone you’re not. Also in the novel Freak the Mighty this is a great theme too. This proves that one theme can go for many books. In the novel Wonder, August is a boy with facial deformities just trying to live a normal life while he can. To add on, in the book Freak the Mighty, Freak is a boy with growing problems just trying to live his life to the fullest and have fun while doing it.
Superheroes of today and mythological characters inspire us to be “our better selves.” because, of the there heroism and courageous acts. For example, they inspire us to save lives and help other people. The texts says from “into the Maze of Doom” ““You can’t change my mind it is my duty to save our people”(pg14) Also, ““.......I will slay the beast so the no other must die…….. Let me do this, father.
Everybody knows about the classic superhero story: a villain tries to destroy everything, the hero intervenes, saves the damsel in distress and the whole population is delighted and accepts him. Yet, behind the familiar, innocent narrative put forward is hidden a much darker tale of support to the elite. The conservative ideology publicized by superhero stories tends to support a worldview in which the interests of the upper-class and the stability of the system are protected. In that narrative, individuals are not expected to think critically or defy authority, but to follow orders and use their natural skills to benefit society as a whole. Benevolence, obedience and security are valued over individuality, creativity and progress.
We need to show the world that not all heroes were caps and save the world, we should be allowed to teach the younger generation can be ordinary, like you and I, facing real world problems and still be a
When Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, explicitly states,”A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself,” he represents the significance of the unreplicable impact of Superheroes in our lives and the irresistible power of bravery a hero has. Even though we are highly influenced from the qualities of our superheroes, we neglect the acknowledgment of the advancement of developing these qualities. Heroes like Theseus, obtain their considerable success by the use of his or her determination, and they alter our determination to be our better selves. Because of their exhilarating but successful feats, Superheroes inspire us to improve on ourselves by supplying us hope during helpless times, and educating us about the right and wrong. First and foremost, the hope of our people when drastic times come with drastic measures is obtained because of the presence of superheros in our literature.
Therefore, students can infer that not all people can be “superhuman heroes.” For example, students of color might not believe that they can accomplish or be recognized for doing something incredible as a “white” student or an European person.
No matter how celsha the line “not all heroes wear cape” is it still hold true. Take for example the average everyday nurse. People from all over the world with different background and beliefs all coming together to learn a trade that will go on and will benefit everyone they come into contact with in their work field, and sometimes in their daily lives. My mother Laura Frederick has been working as an x-ray technician for over twelve years now, and has made a huge impact in her patient’s lives, and in some instances making life or death differences.
said Lupe. In the story Marble Champ I think the theme is, determination can lead to success. This is a good, strong theme because she practiced and she was motivated. And all around the world if people are determined they too can be successful.
The school describes social change to be “something that we just talk about rather, it is who we are” (Walden University, 2015, Social Change section, para. 2). Ultimately, the school’s goal is to encourage students to be active agents of social change and to inculcate in them the desire to bring forth positive impact within their community through the actions that they choose to engage. In our world where the level of violence, inequality, and poverty is disturbingly high and climbing steadily, I believe that people who were educated about the value of making a positive impact to the lives of other people will be of great help in battling these prominent global issues. The collaborative efforts of educators who share a common goal of improving the lives of the people of the future by providing their students equal opportunities to learn, as well as relevant, engaging, and highly cognitive learning experiences that will ready them for their careers will certainly make a difference. Since day one and until now, I have constantly been reminded of my role of an educator of the 21st century.
During adolescence, I sat in dilapidated classrooms without fully functional lighting and materials, and was taught by dispassionate teachers—I was even called stupid by an 8th grade teacher. This experience has not only prepared me, but also taught me that leadership and compassion is the way to get through to students, especially those who are having issues with comprehension and motivation. Even as an adult, I struggle to come to terms with the notion that I am squandered potential, and I am left, at an older age, to discover who I want to be and what mark I will leave on this Earth. Without having the support of teachers and administrators who cared about my success, I often think about how far I would have been propelled in life. What would I be able to accomplish?

and I want my students to know that they can do what ever they set their mind on. I believe that education has the ability to transform lives in ways that most people cannot even imagine.
The resilience and perseverance they show when playing video games or looking for the perfect outfit is unavailable to them when it comes to schoolwork. They think that learning should be like
When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - 'No, you move.’ This is what superheroes are teaching kids. They are encouraging them to become great people and great citizens who help make the world a better place. Superheroes are good role models. Thank
From Batman fighting crime in Gotham city to Superman keeping the peace in Metropolis, we find ourselves drawn to the idea of heroes overcoming the odds and prevailing in the end in their story. The theme of having a
