Introduction Hello, for all those who don’t know me, my name is Minh Nguyen. Benny and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. We lived right next to each and we spent most of our child days together. Memories When I think of Benny as a child, I remember how much he loved exploring the bushes out back of my house. When it was the holidays we spent most of our time exploring the bushes, finding animals, swimming at the swimming hole and all sorts of things that we could come across. Generally doing crazy stuff that would give our parents grey hair sooner. If I had to share one memory that really illustrates Benny’s fearless and sometimes impulsive nature. Both of us built a rope swing in a nearby tree along the water hole. Benny being fearless as he is, he decided to try …show more content…

Luckily he wound up with nothing but a broken arm. It just shows how much of reckless guy he was. Other than being a risk taker, Benny had a kind soul, I’m sure most of you here would agree to this. Ben has never met anyone that he could not help in any way. Due to his passion he volunteers at homeless shelters giving out food and drinks. Ben sits down with them whenever he could to have a conversation with the homeless even giving them some of his own money. His far to kind, makes me think how kind he was and just makes me idolise him. Mention of Family/Friends Come down to it, with Benny’s compassionate nature and willingness to taking risks. It's not hard to understand why he ventured out in that storm on Wednesday night, trying to take food and diapers to one of her families in need. He knew that they would be fine until morning but, Benny was concerned for their will being. He would have put them first before himself not considering his own safety, going to their aid and that’s what he

  • Free Essays on Taronga by Victor Kelleher

    1598 Words  | 4 Pages

    Ben, the main character of the novel Taronga, is a representation of a hero which reinforces my attitudes regarding this group, yet challenges the stereotypical or society's attitudes.  Ben is constructed as being quiet and submissive, such as the fact that he stayed for a long time and put up with Greg using him for his telepathic gift, before finally coming into his own and running away.  This is another example of Ben's submissiveness - he chose to sneak away from Greg quietly in the dead of the night, instead of a fight or a loud confrontation.  He is also a humanitarian, as he cares for other animals, even when killing them.  This reinforces my attitudes and views on heroes, as I believe that most true heroes are quiet, usually introverted, and do things to make the community better - often without receiving the recognition they deserve.  The extroverted heroes, such as Superman, is what society expects, and because of this they often overlook the real heroes.  On the other hand, Ben is not a passive character.  He takes control of situations, such as when he arranges a meeting with Chas and tells him his plan (which was all untrue) which was the only way that he, Ellie and the animals would be able to escape from Taronga Zoo.  I believe that that is how a true hero would react - he would think over the situation carefully, come up with the best solution, and act on it.  Society is always hoping for the more exciting hero, the one who would go out and beat up the villains and rescue the helpless girl.  To look at Ben's appearance, he is around 14, small, wears old, ragged clothes and has bare feet.

    While the other boys were still awkward and string bean looking, Benny was definitely naturally handsome. Maybe it was the hours of batting practice that gave him his sun kissed tan making his perfectly straight Colgate-white smile stand out and sparkle. Or maybe it was his dark luscious brown hair that would make you stare as he ran his fingers thru it. Either way, he was very appealing to the eye. Benjamin was the tallest and the oldest out of all the boys in his group and his friends rightly looked up to

  • The story of Ben Carson

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    Another decision Ben made came after his first year of college at Yale. He was put in charge of a highway crew that picked up trash along highways in Detroit. The crews were made up of mostly inter-city kids. Instead of allowing his crew to collect only 12 bags of trash a day like the other supervisors, Ben made sure his crew turned in at least 150 bags at the end of each day. He taught the young men in his group the idea of hard work and taking pride for the work that they do. “The principle goes like this: It’s not what you know but the kind of job you do that makes the difference (81).” By teaching these kids not to slack off even though it may have been hot outside or they may have been too tired, he more than likely changed their work ethic for the rest of their lives.

  • Brad Pitt: Making It Right One Home at a Time

    1114 Words  | 3 Pages

    If you hear the name Brad Pitt, your mind probably immediately goes straight to either one of two things: that hot guy from Oceans 11 or the whole Jennifer Aniston/Angelina Jolie scandal. All sarcasm aside, Brad Pitt is one of the sexiest men alive and has a way with the ladies, but he also is a man with a generous heart. In 2007, just months after hurricane Katrina had made its way through New Orleans and left the state of Louisiana in complete ruins, Brad Pitt traveled out of his comfortable Hollywood life and headed across the country to take a look at the turmoil caused by the disaster. It was while he was in the heart of New Orleans, that the celebrity realized the devastation hurricane Katrina left behind and made a commitment to Louisiana and its community that he would do whatever it takes to get the city back in order (Make it Right). Thus, the Make it Right organization was born and homes, as well as families, started coming back to New Orleans.

It was just me and Jeremy, or “jerm” for short, in the beginning; he is my roommate, but we were slow to kick things off. Arturo, who lives next door, was my first real friend here, and once we started to hangout we’d involve Jerm and get him to become more comfortable with us. For a week or so, it was just us three spending time together, usually in my room since it’s the biggest, playing video games or watching sports. Jerm is a huge baseball fan, and that is what brought Kenny along. Kenny lives just down the hall from us and he knew Arturo from their English
