Their decisions lead to the death of people sometimes people they care about. But they stay strong and fought to stay alive.

    In most stories we enjoy, may it be from childhood or something more recent there is many times a theme that shows a clear hero and a clear villain. But ordinarily this is not the case in real life, there are few times that this is quite that simple. There are many sides to each story, and sometimes people turn a blind eye to, or ignore the opposing side’s argument. But if we look at both sides of a situation in the stories we can more clearly understand what is going on, moreover the villains in the book or play would seem more real, instead of a horrible person being evil for no reason, these two people have their own agenda may it be a ruthless vengeance or misplaced trust.

  • An Analysis of “The Sniper”

    772 Words  | 2 Pages

    “The Sniper” is a short story written by Liam O’Flaherty that was released on January 12, 1923 in an issue of a weekly socialist publication, called The New Leader. It’s a very easy read with a surprise twist at the end that I felt complimented what the author was trying to convey about civil wars. I enjoyed reading this story because of its militaristic and subtle political theme. It shows what humans are when conflict stirs. A huge downside to civil war is brought to the surface with this story’s surprise ending. I would recommend reading this because I believe it really shows the true nature behind wars and the effect it can have upon humans involved in wars. Being threatened for your life, a human can overcome unsurmountable feats with critical thinking and wit, but it’s not without its downfalls as this story shows.

    ...ou are on the line as well as your own, many are willing to fight, betray and kill to survive. But only a few are able to say they stayed true to themselves through it all, and within the novels only a few can ultimately say they have done just that. Therefore, the characters within The Death Cure and The Scorch Trials are unique because each character has different morals and ethics and at the end of the day so do the people on this planet, but as a reader one must ask themselves which character do they see living a life without remorse or guilt. In conclusion, when one is forced to fight for their survival many are willing to kill, betray and manipulate, but only the strong are willing to fight.

  • Essay On Heroism In Beowulf

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    The concept of heroism has been explored by every author in every generation of writing. The earliest heroes were “self” described heroes that existed within Greek mythology and gained the actual title “Hero” by completing feats that, while they were humanly possible, were only accomplishable by those at peak human form, both physically and mentally. For as long as heroism has been used in literature, and spoken word, they have all had the common theme of humanity. The most prominent heroes were all human, some were “underdog” heroes starting at a disadvantage, some were a manifestation, or reflection, of the average person of the time, and yet others were supposed to represent the peak of humanity. The hero embodies the ideals of the society but is often helpless at the hands of fate.
