...My superheroes name is Dresden Myers. He is of a stocky build but do not mistaken him for being slow . He's not supernaturally strong but strong for a person of his build. His powers consist of being able to project sound waves from his palms . He uses headphones to amplifie his ability. He projects what he hears in his headphones through his hands and the greater the bass is the more powerful the sound wave is. Boooom!

...So a majority of people have heard of Marvel. Spiderman, the Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor, a part of that. But who has heard of My Super Hero? What My Super Hero? Right? Who? What? Huh? Well, My Super Hero, a man-sized dill pickle guy, with a classy top hat, fights crime, mostly dolphin-face man, in style. He has three main superpowers. His best ability, to transform into any shape, helps a lot. The limitation to this stunning ability makes My Super Hero unable to physically change his atoms. Changing the atomic makeup of himself would cause mass radiation so he can’t. Staying always a pickle, he changes into a limited version of an object. He can become a mechanical machine that could fight crime, and help citizens. Becoming really small would potentially create a black hole since he can change his density. Splitting apart circumvents this....

...they were both my favorite super hero’s, but I always had one that I like the most. Batman was the one I like the most because he was unique and had his own deal going on. Also, the movies that I watch the most were the Batman movies. One of the main reasons why Batman is my favorite is because he lives in a Gothic City. The one thing I like the most is when theirs trouble the police turns on the Batman search light in the sky. Both Batman and Superman compare and contrast in many ways, but they both fight for the same reason and like to help people and protect their community from criminals. Batman is one of the unique super hero’s I know because of the way he dresses and saves people. He drives a black automobile with weapons, and it also has a GPS that helps him get to where the crimes are happening. Batman does not really have powers like Superman, but he does have weapons that help him defeat the bad guys and criminals. He is also one of the best criminologist, and a tactician, as well as a master of disguise. He wears a black outfit with a black cap, and his face is cover with a black mask that has bat ears. His element is to help good people from criminals in Gotham City, and he also helps his community to be safe. Batman’s super hero sign is a bat that he puts up in the sky when theirs trouble. Superman is a hero that leads a double life; he works in a newspaper office and becomes a super hero when there is trouble. Also, he hides his super hero clothes under...

...I plan on verbally summarizing all of the information on my slides instead of reading them word for word. In some places, I may add in more details (EX: where I mention Creon’s reason for not burying Polynices, but don’t actually say what his reason was), but I will generally try to shorten the blocks of information that I currently have. For slides that aren’t introductions to characters, I will probably read most of what is on the slide, just so that I don’t miss any important details that contribute to my argument. Below I have written a possible option for what I will say the day of the presentation (includes introductions to Antigone and Edward, a comparison of ancient/modern heroism while taking into account my two characters, and a brief...

...Super heroes have always been an feat in the American culture. Super heroes have been around for such a long time, maybe 10 years, or 100, or even 100000000, who knows? But with every super hero, comes a super villain. There are a lot of super villains but none of them compare to my favorite anti-hero, The Joker. First of all, The Joker is a sick twisted soul who is the revival of BatMan. Joker would do anything to get in the way and kill BatMan for his own cruel and evil plans to take over Gotham. Joker is notorious for his green hair and his never ending smile. He is quite the character you may come to find if you watch or read any Batman stuff. Also, even super villains have sidekicks. Joker’s sidekick is ,what seems to be every...

...the conquests of the ancient Swedish hero. In the following centuries, Beowulf has become a template for the modern day hero story. That being said, modern day heroes, such as Batman, are far more heroic due to moral values, humility, and overall intelligence. In both Batman’s and Beowulf’s individual societies, they are viewed as heroes. However, if there had been a hero equivalent to Batman in Beowulf’s time, the cheers of the Geats would have been instantly extinguished. They knew nothing more than warriors killing foes mercilessly. If there had been a vigilante-like crusader foiling Grendel’s plans, as opposed to slaying him, Beowulf story might have never been recorded. “Other monsters crowded around me, continually attacking. I treated them politely, offering the edge of my razor-sharp sword.” (Lines 559-561) As seen in this quote, Beowulf was far from humble. He constantly recounted his memorable battles and was quite arrogant. Batman, on the other hand, doesn’t receive any praise for his heroic deeds, nor does he have the desire to. He is perfectly content living in the shadows, protecting the citizens of Gotham, and not drawing any recognition from his actions. “The lake and the cliffs alongside it, brave men staggering under the weight of Grendel’ skull, too heavy for fewer than four of them to handle” (1635-1636) Though not specifically stated, it can be inferred that Beowulf possesses something resembling super-human strength, as he didn’t struggle...

...What is a hero? What is a hero? By definition a hero is “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities" (Hero). We could even look as far back as the Greeks, with their gods and demigods, humans born with super natural powers that could take out an entire city with a flick of their wrist, because of their powers they were called heroes. These gods were feared and worshiped, religions were started because of their tales and accomplishments. Despite all these powers and abilities, one thing is not mentioned, core values. I feel a hero is a combination of values, because bravery without courage, integrity, humility and honor can mean all the difference between being a hero and being lucky. To me a hero is someone who puts all others in front of himself, who puts personal gain and ambitions on the back burner for the betterment of others or the greater good. Others define heroes as someone who signed their name on the dotted line to serve this country, or a person who gives blood in the Publix parking lot, we all have different views and opinions on what a hero is, but I think we can all agree, a hero puts others' lives before their own. What we should all understand, is that all of us have the potential to be a hero, the right person in the right place at the right time, can make all the difference in the world. After reading the other assigned stories I am drawn towards Bodega Dreams, the only character that could fit the definition of a hero is Mr. Tapia....

...Everybody's definition of hero is you have to have super power x-ray vision, the ability to fly, or a magical hammer to squash villains. Like Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman are heros to everybody. However, that is not what a hero has to be. A hero is just someone that’s always there when you need them, and someone that cares for you. That is what makes a hero a hero. Everyone has different opinions on heros. A good characteristic to have as a hero is to always be there for others no matter what is going on. A hero is like a parent -- they are always there for you when you need them. For example, my mom and dad are always there for me when I need to talk to them about something, or even when i'm having a really bad day. A hero can also...

...As a boy, my hero witnessed his parents' gruesome murder by an unknown gunman and vowed revenge against all who broke the law. As a young adult, he worked to fulfill this vow by traveling the world to learn from masters of various defense disciplines. Eventually he became an exceptional escape artist, master of martial arts, acrobatics, science, criminology and detective skills. Having perfected these skills, my hero was prepared to embark on his mission. But one thing still eluded him, how he will fulfill justice for all. Preferring to remain anonymous, my hero relies on the darkness of the night, to provide camouflage. Though he thirsts for revenge, he resolves never to kill anyone; instead he depends on his physical abilities and mental superiorities to bring his enemies to justice. He has conquered many challenges that these scandalous criminals have brought to him, such as felines, deadly plants, arctic creatures, and the occasional riddle. As if crime fighting wasn't exhausting enough, my hero plays a much different role during the day. After his parents' tragic death, my hero inherited a fortune, complete with a position as CEO of a major corporation. Careful not to reveal his own identity, he lets his reputation of being a millionaire playboy hide his true character. We all have our heroes, but mine is a super hero. He is feared by all evil, and fights crime with a passion. I have looked up to him since we were first introduced. Who is this mystery hero? You guessed...

...Real Hero: Beowulf vs. Grendel The story of the famous battle between Beowulf and Grendel are told in two stories in The story of Beowulf by an unknown author and Grendel by John Gardner. The story of Beowulf is told in 3rd person by someone recounting the events and Grendel is told in a 1st person view of Grendel himself. There is lots of controversy whether which of the two is the real hero, so here is the gist of both stories for you to decide: There is a small town full of people that is being tormented by a monster who comes only to kill and bring terror among the people, the attacks continue and after a short while comes a famous warrior named Beowulf. He comes to defeat the town’s monster to save the people and end the mindless killings of Grendel. Both stories result in Grendel being killed and Beowulf being praised for his actions and he eventually becomes a great, fair king that all the people adore and love. The Anglo-Saxon definition of a hero is typically a man who is strong, brave and an intelligent warrior. They had to be willing to fight to the...

...February 10, 2011 Super Mom During the Anglo-Saxon period, heroes were seen as semi divine people. They were characterized by their strength, their courage and their loyalty. Today, a hero in our sense is usually associated with celebrity. A hero is awarded for the things they do for other people, as helping out for helping out the people of the world, like Rosa Park. A celebrity is a famous person that you’ll see on television or in songs, they represents positive and negative character traits. They are not rewarded for what they did, but they do get pay for what they do. The Anglo-Saxon period required men to be strong. Strength was tested in battle. These qualities certainly are not all that a hero should do, but these should out shine all others. Who better to represent these many heroic qualities than women, of faith, and courage? I admired Shawn Peterson for many years. A hero today must be strong. One must have the strength to fight over and over again. She must have faith in oneself to defeat her battles. A hero must have the patience to realize that things are worse before they get better. A hero must have determination in order to achieve goals and aspirations, in today’s society. Strength makes one stronger. Weakness is just pain leaving the body. Determination is necessary in society because a hero gets out of life what she puts in to it, and if she puts effort, she will be rewarded for her determination. A hero must be patient and secure to help...

...Is Odysseus a hero? Everyone hears the word “hero” from time to time, but has it ever occurred to any of those people, of what a hero is to them? Some define heroes as someone they admire or even someone with super powers. Just know that a hero is someone who is not perfect. Heroes have imperfections like humans do. If one were to read The Odyssey, one of the most controversial questions that would be asked if whether or not Odysseus is a hero. Certainly, some may say he is not because of all the terrible things he did throughout, but remember a hero has flaws. Otherwise than that Odysseus is a hero. Throughout his journey, it is shown that he possesses many qualities of a hero such as intelligence, the strength he shows, the hardships he encounters and how he deals with them, and so on. According to The Odyssey written by Homer, it is shown that a hero has a quality of being a risk taker, a trait Odysseus demonstrates in his adventure. The part where Odysseus stabbed the Cyclopes in the eye is considered a huge risk. “Straight forward they sprinted, lifting it, and rammed it deep in his crater eye” (Homer, 414). The reason is, is because Odysseus already knew what the Cyclopes was capable of. If he was not successful then he along with his crew would become the Cyclopes dinner. Odysseus also shows how smart and cunning he is. When he is talking to one of the suitors he says “ I too once lived in a lofty house that men admired; rolling in wealth I’d often give to a...
