Heroes

Hero essay

     Heroes have been in life for a very long time. There is a difference now with heroes

 now and back then when Heroes such as Odysseus and Hercules where hip and cool.

Heroes now in today's society are for example like, superman or batman. Batman is an

Anti-hero. An anti hero is a hero that does good, but has a reputation of a bad guy.

Another example is superman, superman was born a superhero, giving the hero

archetype of the child.


     Heroes in the good old times where told to be true and therefore people believed

them. Some heroes like Thor that are now and back then. People back in the day

believed that there was actually a Thor. Other heroes like odysseus are not really

popular anymore. Odysseus was very popular in the old times and is what makes all

other heroes an archetype. The odyssey is a story with the first hero ever made.

   
     Heroes now and heroes back then are alike because they all have the same

archetypes. They are different because heroes now are known to be not true.

Telemachus in the book, "the odyssey", is the child archetype, this is similar to today's

archetype of the baby in the incredibles who is born with super powers.  Both heroes

have usually a distraction or something they are driving for.
