Taking risks can be extremely life threatening in someone’s life, whether it be big or small. You have to be brave, courageous, and determined. Some men who have these qualities are Steven Kutcher and Carsten Peter. Steven Kutcher is the creator behind the famous movie Spiderman. He works with different kinds of bugs and trains them for the things that are needed in movies. Kutcher loves bugs and always had a passion for them ever since he was a little boy. Carsten Peter is a photographer who travels takes pictures of dangerous things around the world. One of his most dangerous trips include traveling to Africa and taking pictures of a volcano -- as it was rumbling. With all of these outrageous and unique things that these men do, they have …show more content…
Steven Kutcher’s field of work is very different than Carsten Peter’s and not as dangerous. Kutcher has an interest in bugs and has the ability to train them. Unlike Peter who has an interest in taking dangerous photographs by traveling all over the world. Kutcher probably doesn’t know anything about photography and sacrificing his life. On the other hand, Peter probably doesn’t know anything about entomology and training insects. Their experiences and accomplishments are very different. Even though they are both brave, their bravery comes out in different ways. For instance, Kutcher’s job isn’t as risky and dangerous as Peter’s. He doesn’t have to worry about making sure he doesn’t accidentally slip and fall into lava. Furthermore, Peter’s work doesn’t involve creating a “spider Olympics” for a movie. Kutcher is also more well-known than Peter. He has played big parts in creating insects for famous movies such as Spiderman and Arachnophobia. Without him, Spiderman probably wouldn’t be as intricate and fascinating as it is now. Unlike Kutcher, someone else could replace Peter and do the same job as him. Even though Peter takes interesting pictures, he could easily be replaced by someone who could possibly take the same quality pictures. Kutcher went to school for this talent that he has and he has a lot of knowledge. Meanwhile, Peter didn’t go to college for this or study about …show more content…
They are both brave, courageous, and determined which is a very significant and important thing to have in life. They have both gone through many experiences and accomplished a lot of things. The last thing the have in common is the fact that they pursued their passion for what they love to do. However, their work fields are different from one another and their education for their job is different. Also the amount of danger differs between their work. Overall, along with their differences, Steven Kutcher and Carsten Peter both brave, courageous, and
All of the qualities shown in these men are important in showing heroism. Heroism is having qualities that highlight someone's unique and noble abilities. Both of these men portray a massive amount of heroism in their stories.

The book, Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History, written by Antonio Mendez and Matt Baglio, is a first-hand account of the dangerous but successful mission, aided by Hollywood and the Canadian government, to rescue six US diplomats from Iran after they escaped the US embassy during the Iran Hostage Crisis. Even though this is a non-fictional story, it still has themes. This story about courage and problem-solving conveys many important messages to the reader. The most meaningful message that Antonio Mendez and Matt Baglio are trying to convey to the reader is that no matter how difficult it seems to solve a certain problem, you can solve any problem as long as you put your mind to it, and are confident
I think a major factor that made the lives of these lives of these two men so different was one got out of the street life while the other didn’t. Another major factor was when the author mom sent her son to military school. This changed him for the better because it took him away from the trouble he was getting in back at home.
Both men give hope that tomorrow will be better by their actions. Their stories provide this hope for the future for not only those present at the time, but for all of those who hear their story. They are superheroes, superheroes of hope.

He did not attempt to conceal the danger and difficulties that would inevitably attend the undertaking. Nor did he forget to remind them, that should their efforts be followed by success, they would be entitled to, and would receive the grateful acknowledgments of their country. “It is probable,” he said, ”that some of us may not survive the daring attempt. But I ask you to hazard no dangers which will not be shared with you by your commander, and I pledge to you my honor, that in every difficulty and danger, I will take the lead.”
When reading a novel or watching a movie, the audience often looks for a guiding light; a character that steps up to take the lead when all hope is lost. It is not uncommon for that beacon of hope to be a complete stereotype, all too often, the hero of the day is a strong, virile, ruggedly handsome man, but what if he was not? What if he was just an average man, or not even a man at all, but a woman or a child? When reading fiction, the imagination is allowed to run wild, painting vivid pictures interwoven with personal life experiences, relatable to the characters in the novels and to one’s own life experiences. The most memorable content of both The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, and World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, by Max Brooks, leaves a lasting impression due to strong lead characters, their resolve to survive, no matter what obstacles may wind up in their paths, and the simple truth that they are human and flawed, but still resilient and willing to push forward as an example to others, both in the novel and in the target audience.
Chris McCandless was still just a young man when he decided to drastically alter his life through the form of a child’s foolishness. However, Chris had not known at the time just how powerful his testimony against his father’s authority, society, or maybe even his own lifestyle was going to be revolutionary throughout not only Alaska,not even the lower 48, but the world. The story of Chris McCandless is a much talked about debate on topics of safety and preparedness in the wild, these things forever associated with the boy who was a little too eager for a death wish. Today, Chris is remember as a fool or a hero. The fool, a boy who allowed himself to be drowned in a fictional world inspired by his readings,dying because he ignored he was just a normal human being or the hero who set out to become something more.
Peter Tosh and Nelson Mandela are two men who dedicated their lives to fight for equal rights. They are united by common goals but walked on different paths in their struggles against the oppressors. The major commonality, which made both men brilliant leaders and revolutionary thinkers, was their passion. The passion they had for their beliefs and turning their visions into reality.
Two great men that inspired thousands and millions to act on their behalf wither it be bad or good. Their words alone made people feel what they felt with out even meeting them. These two men were vastly different form one another but in some ways acted similar. They both led movements and large amount of people to act in ways that they would not have with out them to give them a push. Lets see what these two men that some would call one amidst some of the most inhumane people in the world and the other to be a breaker of chains and father to the civil rights movement.
One of the main qualities that both these heroes had was courage. The reason for this is that there were many bad things that happened in their lives, and even though it was scary they push forward. Courage is one of the main qualities that people say when asked “What is a quality that a hero should possess?” We all what to be courageous, and when we see a “hero” being that, it makes us believe that we can be too. That is another good thing heroes do; they inspire us to, be courageous, to help somebody, or to not give up. "You blaze the trail. And sometimes that involves doing something that scares the heck out of you." (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/liz-murray-shares-her-tale-of-life-from-homeless-to-harvard/article1314532/) That is a quote by Liz Murray that inspires us to try something new and be courageous.
The mind can make people do crazy things in the simplest or the most stressful situations. As shown in the articles, movie, and book, it takes courage and bravery to do what most people will not do or fear to do. In order to overcome fear, one must find courage and be brave, such as David Cooper did in his sea rescue or Joe Slowinski when that pesky brown king snake hung around his neck at the age of 3. In conclusion, it’s easy to agree that courage and bravery drive people to do crazy things.
In conclusion, both men are considered heroes by their people, but that fact can be easily forgotten due to the chaos for the opposing sides. Motives, moral code, and perspective others are consistently being switched and re-evaluated by these, sometimes, unstable characters. Despite that, their shared bravery, willingness to sacrifice, and value of another man’s humanity prove they have more in common than they would ever admit. Although doomed to remain foes until their fast approaching deaths, true heroism ultimately unites them.
In 1978, Superman The Movie opened to worldwide box office success. It was the first truly serious cinematic interpretation of the character that went beyond the tropes of previous televised and serial film incarnations. It featured groundbreaking new and exciting special effects coupled with a stellar cast that brought to life each and every character delivering performances that to this day leave me with a sense of whimsy and wonderment. The story focused on an orphaned alien, the last of his kind, arriving on Earth and through being taken in and adopted by a loving farmer and his wife, grows up to become this world’s first and greatest superhero. The story for this film brought to the screen an epic sense of adventure. Christopher Reeve personified Superman by bringing a purity of heart and embodiment of hope synonymous with the character’s persona and as the film’s tagline quoted, he made me believe a man could fly. Mr. Reeve injected into the character a palpable sense of wonder and genuine heroism not seen before then. M...
