My hero is Lionel Sternberger because he invented the most delicious food in the world. The Cheeseburger! In 1926 Lionel Sternberger was experimenting and he dropped and piece of american cheese onto a hamburger patty. Then later called it the Cheeseburger. To me Cheeseburgers are like little drops of heaven. He was 16 years old when he created the cheeseburger. Well the cheeseburger is the best thing in the world so without him it would be bad. I mean don’t eat cheeseburgers all the time. But when I do it is the best. I don’t know if he was a compassionate person but he is my hero. I know that just because he slapped a piece of cheese on a beef patty it doesn't make him a hero. But I think that Lionel Sternberger did a little more than
invented the cheeseburger. He made it possible to make something great out of very simple. He inspired a lot of people including me. I don’t think that the great amazing Cheeseburger was an instant hit with his generation. I think that he had to persevere when people did not like it. Because back then people just wanted a plain old hamburger. So when people don’t know what it is they don’t what it. I know it is a little weird saying that Lionel Sternberger is my hero because he slapped a piece of cheese on a hamburger patty. But I without him people would be out of job. People would be hungry. And the world would be a darker place. So yeah now you know the truth about the Cheeseburger
Mr. George Washington Carver, the name can be found in textbooks across the world, but the only knowledge about Mr. Carver that all really know is that he was known as the Peanut man. Can a man really gain notoriety by being associated with the peanut? Possibly, but George Washington Carver did so much more than just create the modern-day version of peanut butter. The man created an industry out of a peanut, literally. He not only created a new niche for farmers, but he helped revolutionize agriculture. How does a man (botanist, chemist, and inventor) explain a small peanut and agriculture to others? Well, Carver started with humble beginnings and a had deep admiration for plants and nature as he grew. Mr. Carver’s love for nature
have to admit why some of you might say he was a hero. He did
just because the guy he was. He a big effect in his family and had a big influence on his family.
Andrew Carnegie was not a hero because he lacked integrity and concern for others because he lied about his competitors, and only cared about money. Carnegie may have had success but that doesn't make him a hero.
The Hero’s Journey is a basic template utilized by writers everywhere. Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, analyzed an abundance of myths and literature and decided that almost all of them followed a template that has around twelve steps. He would call these steps the Hero’s Journey. The steps to the Hero’s Journey are a hero is born into ordinary circumstances, call to adventure/action, refusal of call, a push to go on the journey, aid by mentor, a crossing of the threshold, the hero is tested, defeat of a villain, possible prize, hero goes home. The Hero’s Journey is more or less the same journey every time. It is a circular pattern used in stories or myths.
Some people may disagree and say that Andrew Carnegie was a hero, because he had integrity, and was financially successful. In the article Andrew Carnegie by
One of our many, many heroes was Harriet Tubman.She had to go through a lot of events to be recognized.Tubman was her own person she didn't have to try to make-up a story for people to know she was a hero because she had her own story to tell.As a result of her actions Harriet Tubman saved and changed people's lives.Over all she is still known as a hero to many.
Even though Harriet Tubman had to break the law, She should be counted as a hero because she had freed over three hundred slaves. She also joined the underground railroad and was a conductor. She was also kind when she died she gave her home to a church. She was so famous governors know her. That was the life of hero.
Bob Dolan worked at the Pentagon on the day of the attack. He was heroic because of this. Dave Terinteno was heroic because of his actions during 9/11. He risked his life to save someone trapped in the Pentagon. Frank DeMartini risked his life to save people working in the North Tower wearing a red bandana.
Now some may argue that he was a hero because he died for his cause, “grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause” (Douglass, 9), but that is not necessarily a heroic action. Do we call the suicide bombers on 9/11 heroes? No, we don’t. Just because someone dies for what they believe does not mean that they are a hero. Not by a long shot. Dying for something does not immediately make it a good cause.
What is a hero? A hero is someone who does a service to ones community even when staring death in the eyes. A hero is someone who willingly even when face to face with adversity does not quit. A hero can vary from the policemen who keep the streets safe to a preserver of the peace and prosperity to a political leader who helps secure the endowment of democracy to our his country and their posterity. Of all these type of heroes, I tend to believe that the heroes who preserve both peace and prosperity while helping end a deficiency of the human race such as racism is more inspiring, which is why, for my hero I chose Mohondas Karachamand Gandhi who is best known as Mahatma (good soul) Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi helped uproot the tree of racism and even after being arrested multiple times, he, through both thick and thin, did not give up until his work was finished to a sufficient amount. Mahatma Gandhi may have been a lawyer, an humanitarian, a civil rights activist, legal advisor, and a nationalist leader, but he was most of all, a hero
Dr. D is a cardiothoracic surgeon. He was my hero. He may well still be, even though he is a throw-back to the days when I was more concerned about science than symbolism.
While many classical and modern heroes would attempt just about everything in the name of fame, Harvey Milk, Martin Luther King, Jr., Miep Gies, and Oskar Schindler acted upon morality and a need for justice in their societies. However, both types of heroes display some form of self-sacrifice and goodwill.
My day has just been stressful, I have so much to do, and I don't know if this all going to work out. I know I wanted the Jews to make money for me in my business but sometimes I question if this is morally right. I want my company to be successful. Yesterday I went down in the town looking for Stern. I heard he is a very smart man and I know he can help me with this sort of thing. I explained to him that I knew my company would be successful I just needed money to start it. I don't know where I exactly could get it from but I wanted Stern so he could help me find Investors. I explained to him how I planned to have the Jews as the workers and how I am the advertiser as I already impressed the Nazi soldiers. Stern did not exactly want to do
is what a hero is supposed to be. With his courageous efforts to save people
