I have to say I was so relieved that the title of this course was Hero&#8217;s. Compared to a few of my other friends who were in art history, it seemed like I had won the English lotto. I was so excited to be learning about heroism, feminism and on top of that being able to watch shows for homework. Learning about what our definition of a hero is has changed my perspective.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;a hero is someone who puts himself in harms way for the benefit of others because its the right thing to do (not for glory). a hero does something to inspire. A hero will not be afraid to walk on the path less traveled and will bring about changes irrespective of the circumstance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before this class I had only thought of a hero as someone who does the right thing but my original thoughts were challenged.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurendillon\/files\/2018\/02\/images.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurendillon\/files\/2018\/02\/images.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurendillon\/files\/2018\/02\/images-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Coming to feminism my previous thoughts were challenged as well. I had thought that feminism was about equality between men and women. Coming to class the next day the first question was &#8221; equal to who?&#8221; women want to be equal to men but we never specify what kind of men. Seeing how there is still a huge gap between all men, it is easy to see how one can get a misunderstood.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back this class has offered many opinion changing and I am so grateful that my mind and point of view have been changed about certain things.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.scu.edu\/laurendillon\/files\/2018\/02\/images-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"286\" height=\"176\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming into college English I did not know what to expect.
