There are heroes that save the world and some that save people; there are some that are known across the world and some that only certain people consider heroes. Superman is someone who is known across the world and who saved different people every episode. Karl Childers is a man who is a hero to a little boy named Frank; he saved his life. Everyone has different thoughts about the qualities of a hero. To me a hero is someone that is much admired and shows great courage. A hero as to be able to react under pressure and will do anything to help a person in trouble. However for Karl he isn¹t much admired but does show great courage; he also just wants to make Frank¹s life a little easier on him. Another quality of a hero is they must have an enemy; Karl¹s enemy is Doyle. Karl Childers is a hero in my eyes because he saved a little boy¹s life, Frank, from an evil man Doyle. Doyle had a terrible temper and couldn¹t control himself when he drank. If Doyle had gone on living he would have made Frank¹s life a living hell; which it pretty much already was. Or Doyle would have ended up getting drunk one night and killing Frank. Frank¹s father committed suicide, which left Frank devastated and now Doyle treated him like he was nothing. Karl did kill four people in his lifetime and most people would say that he isn¹t a hero, but Karl did only kill those who did wrong. Except for his baby brother, but he was only doing what he parents told him to do, he didn¹t know any better. I¹m not sure if Karl is going to hell, in some way I think that God would be able to forgive him. Karl loved reading the bible, some of it was hard for him to understand but he was able to make
The first way that Frank overcomes adversity in his memoir is when he gets a job as a paper delivery boy to help support his mother Angela and his siblings because his father drinks away all of his money at the local pubs. “Mrs. O’Connell gives me telegrams to deliver to Mr.Harrington, the Englishman with the dead wife that was born and bred in Limerick…” (326). This quote tells of how he has to work and do work that he really does not like to help out his family and their situation. Frank is overcoming adversity by providing for his family and saving money to

...d man, who fought for justice, for others. Because of that, he was killed by his own men.
I have sisters and brothers, but was never raised with any of them. As the only child in the home I was spoiled rotten and was not too keen on sharing much of anything. You can imagine going to kindergarten and learning I had to share. I remember this quite well because it was a traumatic experience for a five year old. The older I got, the more entitled and selfish I became. I can look back on it now as see how I acted, but during that time I actually felt that way.

Karl did not truly forgive and sincerely repent for the crimes he committed. According to the Quran, repentance is important to gain forgiveness (Surah 5:39). Karl, a former Catholic, participated in the mass execution of Jews in Dnepropetrovsk, breaking the sixth commandment of Christianity, which states,“You shall not murder,” (Bible NIV, Exodus 20:13). To achieve forgiveness, Karl needed to pray to God and repent, defined as, “to feel or show that you are sorry for something bad or wrong that you did and that you want to do what is right,”(Merriam-Webster). Karl asked for forgiveness on his deathbed, implying that he wasn’t truly remorseful. There were other times when he could’ve attempted to gain forgiveness, but

Growing up with a big brother four years older than me was one of the most challenging, frustrating, and greatest things from my early childhood and young adolescent life. His name is Matthew, and he can easily be compared to Ben Affleck or Howard Stern because he is extremely tall and spindly. Matthew was always scheming ways to hurt me, put me down, place me in trouble, or to use me to his benefits. As the little brother,I constantly felt pressured to meet his expectations of my actions, and, as a result, I became someone more daring than Evil Knievel and tougher than Rocky Balboa.
