It takes courage to go out in front of people and do something you know you won't succeed in right away. Homer Hickam had so much courage to try and fail again and again. That's what made him prevail in the end, when he won the scholarship. He also had courage when he stood up to his father, and when he said he didn't want to work in the mine. Homer knew that his father, John would get angry with him if he stood up to him, but he still had the courage to do that.
Proctors action s reveal his inner strength. For example, when John tears his testimony he is giving his life away. Proctor action’s not common because he is a brave man who cares about his family. In Salem no body else would have dared defy authority because they are afraid to die by the injustices of the town. John Proctor choose to go against the judge s orders for the reputation of his family can be ruin because of his action.
He knew if Temas didn’t learn this, he would forever doubt himself. Another way that Medoto showed courageousness was when he proved how he felt to Temas, no matter how hard it was for him. “He smiled. It is no good to lie, I wanted you to fail, but when I saw you hesitate I could not bear it because I remembered my own hour of fear. It was then I threw the stone, not to shame you, but to save you from shame.” (369) He was brave enough to tell him, he himself was scared.
The first reason is that Giosué was more worried about winning the game then he was on staying alive because he did not think about the possibility that he could be killed. The other reason way this technique worked and saved Giosué was because he did everything his father told him to do because he thought that would help him win the tank. An example of Giosué listening to his father was when Guido says, "Go hide in that box, quick! Don't come out. You're not to come out until it's completely quiet and nobody is in sight, just to be safe"(Life is Beautiful).
The characters dialogues where believable and adequately portray by their circumstances. You have the noble hero, motivational muse that keeps the hero alive, the political figures, the villain’s, the comrades, the friend’s. In my opinion the main character, Ender remains the same. Ender is a smart and noble worrier and his biggest conflict throughout the movie is that he wants to defeat the enemy but still feels the necessity to maintain his humanity in the process. Possibly the biggest and only change we see in Ender is that he loses his fears and learns to be a leader and ultimately the noble hero of the story.
But the bow also symbolizes the maturity and perhaps the character of the king. The suitors can't come close to stringing it (Book 21), illustrating the fact that none of them is capable of leading Ithaca. Prince Telemachus, trying the bow just for sport, comes close. The reader is told that Telemachus probably could string the bow on his fourth attempt, but his father signals him to desist. We take from this passage that Telemachus is almost ready to be king but patiently and properly acquiesces to his father's judgment.
"You will die, Siddhartha." "I will die." This conversation between Siddhartha and his father explains what depths Siddhartha would go to to start his journey to enlightenment and happiness. Doing what he thought would be best for him, Siddhartha stood up against his father to pursue his goal. Both of these examples demonstrate that the journey may be difficult at times, and the consequences may be challenging at first, but the goal is worth the
At the beginning of the novel, Amir strives for redemption in Baba’s eyes and figures that by winning the kite-tournament he would be seen as a fellow man. However, Amir does not become a man when he brings back the kite for Baba because he sacrifices his loyal brother Hassan for the paper kite. Amir finally understands what it takes to become a better man in his moment of redemption when he instead, retrieves the kite for Sohrab. A symbolically selfless moment dedicated not only to Sohran but to his faithful brother Hassan; “For you, a thousand times over” (391,
He grows and learns and because of that is considered the protagonist. Perhaps, Creon would never have recognized his hubris without causing the deaths of three members of his family, thus not qualifying as a tragic hero. In fact, if he had not been prideful and ignorant in the first place, he would never have caused his family’s deaths and would have nothing to recognize. Ultimately, these two traits are key in turning him into the protagonist and hero. Though he suffers for his sins of pride and wishes death upon himself he will, “…in old age, learn to be wise”
However the only person that he is not hiding his identity from is Telemachus who he confides in by telling him and also including him in his plan to kill the suitors. This then shows us that Odysseus puts his utter faith in Telemachus which means that he acknowledges the paternal bond between them and is willing to build a relationship that his absence of 20 years prevented them from having. Lastly Odysseus’ disguise contributes to the success of the Odyssey because like Telemachus Odysseus has a rite of passage which means that he has to grow and mature throughout the Odyssey. While doing this he becomes wiser & less stubborn, an example of this in Book 17 where he “debated whether to leap at the fellow” like he would normally do but instead “managed to control himself” because he knew if he hit him that he would be found out and then
