Towards the end of this quarter, I would like to dedicate this blog to all the wonderful things I learnt, and how I gained different perspectives in my English class. Since the theme of the class was to define a hero, we went on to summarise all our viewpoints and define a hero as someone who works for the benefits of others irrespective of the hurdles and does not stray away from doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the course advanced, I realised that a hero could be an ordinary person and need not be idolised or framed to be a specific set of people such as Batman, Superman or Spiderman. I analysed the hero’s journey cycle in my previous blogs where I stated that the\u00a0journey cycle is a theory that cannot be implemented to every person and that this theory contradicts my belief and claim that everyone is a hero.<\/p>\n

On delving deeper into the subject, we went on to analysing villains. Many people believed that heroes are the supreme power. I would like to argue that villains also hold tremendous amounts of power, as much as the hero does. I also believe that villains are extremely strong, intelligent, competent, and courageous as they have the guts to face the hero and I believe that a hero is what he is only because of the villain. The hero is able to fight the villain only because he is able to put himself in that position and think like a villain and destroy that thinking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We discussed various aspects of heroes in\u00a0The Hunger Games<\/em>, and also made a lot of claims on who should be categorised as a hero. We also came across various viewpoints about veterans, firefighters, famous celebrities etc. as heroes. So as a conclusion to all these perspectives, I would like to say that I believe\u00a0a hero is a someone who strives to do what he believes is right, and works hard for the betterment of the people around him, irrespective of the hardships he faces. A hero is determined, focused, and can differentiate between right and wrong and even the smallest spec in this world works towards its goal in life which makes it a hero. Life is like a huge stage and everyone is the hero in their own play. It is up to the audience how they perceive this play.<\/p>\n
