at least manage, abject poverty. Their journey from a Wyoming mining town to a farm in South Dakota to a slaughterhouse in Omaha presents one disaster after another for the Holbrook family. Because of this cycle, they represent thousands of unsung heroes who struggled to survive and maintain a family unit during difficult times. Although the novel depicts the family’s struggle as a unit, three members emerge as the main characters. Trapped by lack of opportunity and a faltering self-image,
a great movie about the Alamo is to tell the true story. When referring to the Alamo three names come to mind: Bowie, Travis, and Crockett. These men played a very influential role in the battle of the Alamo. Along with these men are some unsung heroes. The characters themselves are more important than the actors that are cast to play the roles. When drafting the characters there is much to consider. First, you must consider the type of man that would pick up all of his belongings and move
the women find that point to the murderer, but also underestimate the murderer herself. "These were trifles to the men but in reality they told the story and only the women could see that (Erin Williams)". The women seem to be the insightful unsung heroes while the men remain outwardly in charge, but sadly ignorant. In this play, the men and women characters are separated even from their first entrance onto the stage. To the intuitive reader (or playgoer), the gender differences are immediately
Unsung Heroes of History Everyone has the chance to become a hero and many hope to be, but actually being one doesn't always come with the fame or recognition. Oskar Schindler, Chris Kyle, Manoj Bhargava, and Stephen Stevens are unsung heroes. They are prime examples of integrity, strength, and unselfishness. They are always very humble and never give a second thought into helping others before themselves. They display what it truly means to be a hero and assist those who are less fortunate than
clothes they wear or their style of hair, but after reading this book, I feel that those stereotypes can be disproved by the three Greasers, Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy- Curtis from “The Outsiders”, who to me, are heros. They can all be considered heroes because of some of their actions and choices they made throughout the book. Ponyboy Curtis is a hero, in my opinion. One reason is a hero is because he stayed with Johnny to keep him company when he was afraid to go home because his parents were
life. These people in society are like "unsung heroes" because the hard work they do might be overlooked. If others around you see that you are not living up to their expectations or their standards, they may put you down instead of giving you the credit you deserve. Other times we do not appreciate the "little things" that our loved ones do for us until it is too late. Usually these little things impact us the most. In this play, I think the "unsung hero" is no doubt Willy Loman, an aging salesman
This breath of air may be your last. If you want another, vote chloroplast! Imagine a dull, grey world withering away. No sprouting flowers, plants, animals, or even humans on Earth. This could be a reality without the extremely important….. *drum roll* chloroplast. Chloroplasts are vital to life itself. Also, chloroplasts provide energy that is essential to keep life on Earth going. Their function, structure, and overall purpose make them perfect for the job of the Head of the Cell. First and

Music is an art form that has been around since humans were created. All over the world music is played in many different forms and styles. As early as the 1950s, a new style of music was being created in the United States, one that would forever change the world. Not only would this music bring a completely different sound, but it changed the way people acted, dressed, and even their lifestyles. This new style of music became known as rock and roll, and while no one person created it, many artists
There is a common misconception that the role of school nurses only includes the occasional first aid duties and caring for kids with a cold or the flu. Yet, the truth is that the responsibilities of school nurses are critical to monitoring and maintaining healthy and thriving schools. School Nurses are foundational to making public education available to every student regardless of any and all pre-existing health conditions and circumstances. As Head nurse, Debi Bradfield put it, “ Everyday I
village is also a hero. He came out of his house, and risked exposure and his safety to save Atticus’s children from murder. A hero is someone who puts others’ safety or needs before their own. Therefore, this essay shows both Atticus and Boo are heroes.

The Buzz As a society, we are aware of our current environmental issues but as individuals, we do nothing to aid the process. We are knowledgeable of the problem in our ecosystem, such as pollution, lack of clean water, the ozone layer declining and deforestation but we just simply choose to ignore it. The media does a proficient job at illustrating the necessities that our environment is needing but lacks on the smaller picture. As the general public, we don’t reflect on how insects, such as bees
researcher of language acquisition, Pinker, endorses language as being an instinct. The term instinct conveys the idea that: People know how to talk in more or less the sense that spiders know how to spin webs. Web-spinning was not invented by some unsung spider genius and does not depend on having had the right education or on having an aptitude for architecture or the construction trades. Rather, spiders spin spider webs because they have spider brains, which give them the urge to spin and the competence
others and achieved great accomplishments. Facey has certainly both achieved and accomplished much during his life, such as learning to read at a late age. Facey’s life was full of private success and were it not for his book; he would have remained an unsung hero throughout Australian history. Facey’s lack of education haunted him throughout his early life. As Facey ‘hadn’t any schooling’ he found it difficult to read and write. Facey had always viewed his illiteracy as a personal shortcoming and took

Leakey, or her son Richard Leakey, Mary Leakey was the "unsung hero,” of the clan for years, even though she was, in fact, responsible for many of the spectacular Leakey finds, including the nearly complete skull of Zinjanthropus, which was at first thought to be the missing human evolutionary link. Mrs. Leakey
sufficient stable farm suitable for the animals. They had taken very good care of their farm. Yet out of all the creatures that had now inhabited the farm, only one creature stood out to be the hero (protagonist) of the story. It is Boxer who is the unsung hero of the farm. The farm had been taken well care of after the rebellion. All the animals had done their share of the work. Some however could not do some of the hard and large tasks, so Boxer took it upon himself to do it. Boxer was described as
flashback, film reached it’s climax when Liberty Valance was killed. On the pessimistic side of the film however, is what has become of Shinbone after Liberty’s death. When Liberty died, so too did every body living his way, which included the film’s unsung hero, Tom Doniphon. When Stoddard came back to Shinbone, the town was definitely less lively, due to modern inventions such as the telegraph, the steam trains and possibly the telephone. This is the cost that Shinbone had to pay for modernizing –
Beowulf, Sir Gawain and King Arthur - Three Heroes The three heroes discussed here, Beowulf, Sir Gawain and King Arthur, are heroes for different reasons. Beowulf, our earliest hero, is brave but his motivation is different than then other two. To Sir Gawain personal honor and valor is what is important. King Arthur, Sir Gawain's uncle, is naturally the quintessential king of the medieval period. Though all men to a certain extent share the same qualities, some are more pronounced than in the others
Comparison of Modern Day Heroes and Beowulf Most of us have heard of modern day heroes such as Spiderman, Superman, and the Hulk. Each is a hero to many children. Heroes are introduced to people early on in life usually as fictional characters, but as children grow older their perceptions of heroes alter. The characteristics of a hero are usually based around the ideas of a society or culture. In the epic Beowulf, the main character is thought of as a hero. Beowulf, a pagan warrior and the main
