Ned Kelly has done a lot of bad things in his past but we all make mistakes, so that’s why I’m here to tell you why Ned was a hero. Ned Kelly has done a lot of heroic things, for example he saved a boy from drowning and that’s what my first argument is about. On page 10-11, it says that Ned was only 11 years old when he saved a boy from drowning, most boys at his age would run away and not help, but Ned had the courage to save him.
If you think Ned Kelly was a bad guy, you’re wrong, so what if he killed a few people, he was just protecting himself! On page 52 it states that when Ned was hiding from the police, the police were looking for him and eventually they found Ned, The police started shooting at Ned and he would try to hide behind trees
but things got out of hand and unfortunately Ned had no choice but to take out his gun and shoot the police, Even though Ned didn’t want to kill them, he had no choice. Another good deed Ned Kelly has done is steal money, but not for himself, for the poor and homeless. In the book Black Snake Ned stole some extra, unused money from the rich people and gave it to the people who had absolutely nothing! You may think it’s bad but it’s not, what would you do if you had to give money to the homeless and you didn’t have much yourself? So, now do you believe that Ned Kelly was a hero? To sum up, Ned did a lot of heroic things like, saving people, giving money to the homeless and standing up for himself, There is certainly more good things that Ned did, unfortunately I do not have time to share.
The police accused the Kelly gang of crimes they didn’t commit. They also picked on them for no reason. Ned and Dan stood up for themselves and didn’t let the police push them around, as their dad was not around to help the family. This is why they were picked on so much. The Kelly boys were just trying to protect their land and their family, but the police kept making up stories to get them into trouble. Ned’s mum is quoted in the book as saying, “If they had been trying to provoke the boys to break the law and retaliate, they could not have done more than they did, and I firmly believe they were trying.” And due to this the Kelly gang weren’t given a fair trial, and were sentenced to
On Page 66-69 of ‘The Black Snake The daring of Ned Kelly’ he took hostages but never hurt them and treated them with care. After the robberies, he took the hostages and treated them to tea and entertained them. He to treat them cruelly but chose not to out of his own will. This proves that Ned Kelly is a kind-hearted man and is very astonishing. he was also an entertainer and rode into the town with unbroken horses on pages 72-73 which shows his perseverance. Although Ned was a Hero he was also villainous.
Many had called Ned Kelly a murderous thug, but what people say doesn’t necessarily mean it’s right. Ned was born in 1854, died at the age of 26 in 1880 and an Irish immigrant. Many have recognised Ned’s infamousness due to his action and his disgraceful family who had said to do many wrongs. Yes, Ned’s action clearly show a villain., but If you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, then you shouldn’t judge a person by his action. Ned’s mother was taken to jail for self-defence, his father died when Ned was 12-year-old further more every now and then police would accuse Ned and his family for horse thief or cattle stealing. These reason can clearly state that Ned’s a victim who played the role of villain.
Ned Kelly was a notorious bushranger in Australia. People formed thoughts on Ned Kelly after his death. Some doubted him, as a villain who committed all behaviours of crime. Some believed he was a hero who fought for the fairness of people. Whereas, many saw him as a victim with no community status. I strongly believe that Ned Kelly was indeed a victim, who suffered unjust sentence and whom police treated very unfairly. He had low economic status and he was not able to defend his rights. If you look back and read through his history, you would find the pages of evidence and the numerous reasons why Ned Kelly was the dreadful person everyone thought he was. But... there is also evidence that indicates that Ned was not a ruthless person- but
Assignment details: Analyze the components of the hero’s journey. Basically, support the argument that Jaws follows the epic hero cycle.

A hero is someone who doesn’t give up and keeps on fighting for their goal. Jackie Robinson is a great hero and came over great challenges, but he achieved his goal. How Jackie Robinson embodies the human spirt is that he broke the color barrier, and the challenges he faced, and his life.
This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Then why do they have the same experience, but still have a totally different life? I will agree here that environment (family environment, school education environment and society environment) is one of the biggest reasons for their different.
In this essay I have only shown three, but there are so many more and the traits of a hero are not only restricted to people who save lives, chase bad guys, or change the world. He overcame constant pressures with his determination, led a whole team with his outstanding leadership, and never gave up thanks to his passion. He is a hero to many, no cape, or superpowers needed. So now it’s up to you, is he, or is he not, a
In times past and recent, a person may have expressed their gratefulness to another person with a statement such as, no one expected to lose their life when they woke up today. This case of Phineas Gage is still a modern mystery to some people, in as much, the fact that he survived this horrific incident was a true blessing and a wonder for all to see. At a period in history where the brain’s activities and functions was in high debated, scientist wanting to prove their theory and every situation that involved the brain an avenue in which they used to fuel their research, Phineas gave them an enormous amount of evidence. In making the point that the brain has different lobes that has control over their respective areas and motor skills of
Just as the Savages find Ralph and they are about to kill him, he bumps into a Naval officer who saw the smoke from the fire and came to rescue them. It's ironic that the fire that was meant for death actually saved them. However, now all the events that happened in the story are transferred to the shoulders of the officer. He rescues the children who are in the middle of a manhunt, and takes them away on his ship. It is precisely the same thing, as he is also involved in a manhunt. He was able to save the children, but who will save him?
...we can connect to the fear and discrimination Ned, his family, and all the Irish are feeling. We are repeatedly reminded throughout the novel of the racism the Englishman manifest. The theme of racism is effectively developed in the text as the readers can feel what Ned feels. Because of the first person point of view, this story has a certain vibe that allows us to recreate different scenes of racism Ned Kelly and all the Irish went through.
This summer, I visited South Africa. During that week, I witnessed the prosperity, the harmony and the racial equality of the country. A well developed African country with a hint of Western taste was my comment to South Africa. There is no other person who contributed more to the well being of South Africa than Nelson Mandela. He was not only a successful president who sparked a reform to his country, but also a symbol of peace and equality for mankind. I strongly believe this book “Nelson Mandela: A Hero’s Journey” should be made into a movie due to these following 2 reasons: No production company has ever made a movie on Nelson Mandela’s prison years and he is one of the most iconic man which affected millions of lives, and we should pay
We all have them, men and women we know who have served in the military. They are people we admire, look up to, and respect for the sacrifices they made and their courage in the face of adversity on and off the battlefield. For hundreds of years, our military troops have sacrificed their lives for America’s freedom. They have never stopped giving of themselves day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. Whether it’s on the grounds of Iraq or the mountains in Afghanistan, people are fighting for our freedom. Adam Koopmann, Military Police Officer, has consistently achieved these accomplishments on a daily basis in order to fight for our country. He has improved the lives of hundreds of people making him a hero.
This gruesome battle of the Second World War has been going on for over a year now. I have decided that the best thing I can do is go and fight in this battle for freedom. Currently, I am on my way to The Dieppe Raid. I was sad to leave my family alone but I knew it was the only way I could show just how much I care about their freedom and safety. I fear that this battle will just a terrifying and that I will lose many friends. I can only hope that my small effort to help will have some sort of impact on the overall war effort.
