Hero in a Box

“We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.”

-Will Rogers

In this quote it is telling us that thre are no heros if we are all heros beacause no one will recognize each other of being extraordinary, or anything different from the person standing next to you! I picked this quote because it alomost seem controversial telling people that we ca not all be heros, but he is just stating the truth that no one wants to believe. Yes everyone has there little omes that make them feel like a hero but the real heros stand out and don't do it for attention!

In the video clip titled Hercules - Hero it is saying that you might not know it yet but there is a hero inside of you and all it takes is the thing that means the most to you is threatend in anyway. Through challanging obsticals you sooon will discover yourself and the true hero you are. This song contradicts somewhat of what the previous quote is saying but so do most disney movies.

“You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.”

-Walter M Schirra, Sr.

Here the author is telling us that you dont treat your son like a hero, teach him what he needs to know to be a hero even if its only being a hero in your own eyes. Do the most you can to help your son along the way but he has to ecom his own hero. I picked this quote because it fits with many situations not just

A Hero
A hero thinks of others before they think of themselves

A hero will die to protect

A hero can be of any age, any colour

A hero can be man, woman or child

A hero is courageous, loving and brave

A hero will never complain

A hero can be made in one act of compassion

Or years of tender loving care

Some hero's are remembered, whilst many are left forgotten

Hero's are angels in disguise, saving precious innocent lives

-Nicola burkett

In this poem Nicola is refering more to the people servng the united states overseas and in enimie lines. These are more everyday heros and somthing that s alittle more realistic then Hercules, I like the way that she describes what a hero is to her and how it makes you think of who you know that fits those characteristics .

This is more of an upbeat video clip from Hercules that from all the seriousness brings hopes up and in a fun way how a hero becomes. It is a very inergetic peice and shows traits of Hercules and what makes him a hero/gof in the eyes of te rest of the world and world beyond.

Conclusion

Through the many different kinds of heros to be found on the internet if found a few different ones including; the fairy tale/fantasy type, the real life soilder, or a hero in the eyes of loved ones. The fairytale/ fantasy type like Hercules is what comes to mind often or not because that is what is publisized and seen constantly, it is an example of a hero but not as life like that we can relate to. On the other hand a soilder of any kind many people can relate to and feel there pain and suffering, esspesialy if they are a soilder or have someone close love one in the armed services. One ind of hero we dont pay close attention to as much as others is the hero that kids are to there parents. Sometime this is learning how to cook a meal for your mom when she omes home from work or soemtimes its taking care of your siblings with no complaints and doing a good job. Through all the research I've figured out that anyone can be a hero in some way, alot of heros go unnoticed and unrecognised its a shame but sometimes the best is that you know th truth inside and no one else dose.
